Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0172965A1] The invention concerns a continuous pan crystallizer which is conventional in that it has a number of interleading compartments with cross-over ports through which the massecuite passes from compartment to compartment. The cross-over ports have baffles on one or both sides thereof to direct the massecuite up the tubes between the baffles and the walls of the compartments in order to avoid shortcircuiting or by pass of massecuite from one compartment to another.
