Shanghai Songjiang Vibration Absorber Group Co., Ltd. Official Website presents to you the case of wear-resistant rubber expansion joints for the Thailand Mitsui KSP Sugar Mill Project. In 2019, Songjiang Group provided a batch of wear-resistant rubber expansion joints for the project, featuring stainless steel wear-resistant devices inside the rubber joints, ensuring excellent durability. The use of stainless steel 304 also meets food-grade requirements.
I. Introduction to the Thailand Mitsui KSP Sugar Mill Project:
The KSP sugar mill EPC project is a collaboration between Guangxi Construction Engineering Group Co., Ltd. and Mitsui & Co., Ltd. of Japan, signed in 2017 with a contract value of approximately 2 billion yuan, making it the most advanced sugar mill in Asia. The project, contracted by Guangxi Construction Engineering Group Co., Ltd., includes the KSP Sugar Mill Project in Thailand, as well as newly built sugar mills in Uttaradit Province and the Oriental Sugar Mill.
The aim is to build the most advanced sugar mill in Asia. In 2017, Guangxi Construction Engineering Group Co., Ltd. and Mitsui & Co., Ltd. of Japan signed an EPC (Engineering, Procurement, Construction) project contract for a sugarcane crushing capacity of 24,000 tons per day and a refined sugar production capacity of 1,000 tons per day in Thailand, with a contract value of approximately 2 billion yuan. According to the contract, the project reached operational conditions on October 30, 2019. According to Mitsui’s positioning, the sugar mill will be “the most advanced in Asia” once completed. From design to construction, rigorous design processes and stringent acceptance procedures were adhered to.
To ensure the steady progress of the project, Guangxi Construction Engineering Group Co., Ltd. established the “KSP Project Safety Production Promotion Group,” combining the company’s long-standing 17 safety management standards with the actual project requirements, gradually forming a project safety management system that satisfies the owner.
On July 1 last year, 8 batch pans and 6 continuous pans in the sugar cooking workshop were successfully installed, marking the successful completion of the large-scale sugar machinery equipment installation for the KSP project. There were no safety or quality issues during the major installations on site. Project manager Yin Linxiang admitted that the construction volume of the KSP project, including civil construction, steel structure processing, assembly, welding, and installation, far exceeded that of previous projects undertaken by the company. Throughout the implementation process, both in terms of work philosophy and practical operation, An’an people have withstood the baptism and test.
Mitsui & Co., Ltd. of Japan signed an EPC contract for a sugarcane crushing capacity of 24,000 tons per day and a refined sugar production capacity of 1,000 tons per day in Thailand, with a contract value of 1.86 billion yuan. According to the contract, the project reached operational conditions on October 30, 2019.
According to Mitsui’s positioning, the sugar mill will be “the most advanced in Asia.” The project selected top sugar industry equipment manufacturers globally, such as Australian WaLKer for crushing machines, Japanese Shin Nippon for turbines, German BMA for most refined sugar equipment, and Siemens for the sugar mill control system. After the sugar mill is built, it will achieve good energy-saving effects and high automation. The total number of staff required to operate the entire factory will be half that of similar-sized sugar mills in Thailand and less than one-third of similar-sized sugar mills in China.
