The molasses obtained by the centrifugal machinestill contain sugar. Therefore, they are once more boiled inthe vacuum to pass for the second time through the cen-trifugal machine after having been cooled. However, eventhen they still contain sugar, but it is very difficult to extractit. For this reason, the manufacturers let the molasses runinto the rivers or distil, like the Tjomal-mill. alcohol (arrack)from them.
