Abstract
The small sugarcane crusher (belna, trapiche) introduced in the sub-continent some hundred years ago has been thoroughly studied and evaluated. Its efficiency has been compared with the big sugar mill. The factors which affect the extraction of juice have been studied. Proper alignment and roll setting improve the juice percentage-cane upto 50%. The "feeler gauge", a small instrument has been introduced to achieve suitable roll setting. Technical results of "gur" processing technology of Pakistan have been determined. Introduction of feeler gauge, leveller and proper maintenance are recommended for "gur" technology. Improvement in harvesting techniques and infrastructures for the transportation of sugarcane have also been recommended for the big mills.
