This is best done by running a canalparallel to and over the centrifugal supply tank. Part of the canal is cutaway precisely as is done with the cush cush distributors in use at themills. 424 CHAPTER XX Centrifugalling for White Sugars.—When plantation white sugars aremade, a more complete removal of the adhering molasses is necessary. Thisis effected by washing with water and with steam. The water used shouldbe as pure as possible, and the condensed steam available in every factoryforms a suitable supply after cooling. Before the steam is allowed to act. Fig. 267 on the wall of sugar it should be freed from water by being passed througha separator.^.With high-grade massecuites the quantity of water used forwashing is about thirty lbs. in a 40-in. centrifugal, or i lb. to 10 lbs. of quantity of steam used is about i lb. to 5 lbs. of sugar. With lowergrade massecuites boiled from first molasses these quantities are doubled. /
