An old engraving of an old sugar cane mill (press or crusher). It is from a Victorian mechanical engineering book of the 1880s. Juice extraction by milling is the process of squeezing the juice from the cane under a set of mills using high pressure between heavy iron rollers – here the cane is fed by a conveyor belt. Mills can have from 3 up to 6 sets of rolls (a set of mills is called a tandem mill or mill train). The juice is collected and sent for further processing.
