Raw sugar is further classified into bulk raw sugar and bagged raw sugar. In addition to sugar production, BSF also generates by-products from sugarcane cultivation and sugar manufacturing that can be sold to add value, including molasses, bagasse, filter cake, and steam.
Buriram Sugar factory can produce sugar classified by type and purity of sugar as follows:
Raw Sugar
Raw sugar is produced during the initial stage of the manufacturing process by boiling and crystallizing sugarcane and has a low purity index. The crystals are bright, light to dark brown in color, and contain relatively high moisture. Raw sugar crystals tend to stick together and are not crumbly. This type of sugar is not suitable for direct consumption and must be reprocessed or refined into white sugar or refined sugar. It is typically transported in bulk without the use of sacks for export.
In addition, extremely high polarization sugar (VHP) or bagged VHP is partly purified therefore its color is yellow-tinted brown with 800 - 1,500 ICUMSA. It can be consumed without any further process needed. BSF packs high polarization sugar in bags or sacks before exporting overseas by dividing into 2 sizes which are 50 kilograms and 15 kilograms.
