This was reported on the Facebook page of the company A'Spik Group, part of which is Shepetovskiy sugar factory.

Thanks to a radical modernization of the food department, the plant plans to significantly increase energy efficiency and environmental safety. The latest German vacuum condensing equipment in combination with modern heaters will save on gas, and in the sugar season will reduce the use of water from the local Goose River for cooling.

The plant also introduced the international standard for the purification of sugar syrup, which significantly improves the quality of the final product. New centrifuges for sugar crystallization significantly increase the amount of product output.

Modernization takes place in several workshops at once. “First of all, we are talking about the grocery and beet processing department. In particular, for the latter, instead of morally and physically worn-out equipment for cleaning conveyor water, we purchased innovative German filters, ”said Roman Kovalchuk, chief engineer of the Shepetovka sugar factory.

Also, according to him, a contract was signed for the purchase of modern beet slicers. “We plan that we will use new production facilities in September 2019 during the new sugar season,” said Roman Kovalchuk.

The update also affected the local thermal power station: the thermal power plant will receive a new cooling system for the steam turbine. Thus, it is planned to halve energy costs and provide a greater level of security through automation.
