Fives Group — Engineering Excellence for the Sugar Industry

At the ISSCT Congress 2025, Fives Group, drawing upon over two centuries of expertise, stood out by showcasing its cutting-edge technologies and lifecycle services designed to transform sugar production with efficiency, automation, and sustainability.

Engineering Solutions Across the Entire Sugar Value Chain

Cane Preparation & Extraction

From heavy-duty in-line and vertical cane shredders that significantly reduce maintenance costs and energy use, to MillMax® mills that streamline juice extraction with lower bagasse moisture and maintenance savings, Fives delivers robust and efficient equipment for preprocessing.

Energy-Efficient Evaporation

Fives’ falling film evaporators deliver superb thermal performance with minimal fouling risk, short retention times, and the ability to increase multiple-effect systems—reducing steam consumption and environmental impact. These units blend simplicity of design with unmatched reliability.

Advanced Crystallization & Drying

The group provides an extensive suite of crystallization technologies, including continuous vacuum pans, vertical cooling crystallizers, and batch units like ZUKA® and D412. These systems are engineered for automation, flexibility, and energy efficiency, enabling high-quality sugar production with minimal energy inputs.

Driving Digital Smarts & Lifecycle Excellence

• Digital Tools for Optimization: Fives equips sugar producers with the CAMEIO™ and BEMEIO™ simulation environments to fine-tune plant settings for maximum profitability, and its SMART Control® systems deliver real-time optimization based on fluctuating raw material quality and energy markets.
• Training & Services: From on-site coaching to tailored training sessions across milling, evaporation, and crystallization sections, Fives ensures operators master the full potential of its equipment.
