Automation of the sugar factory

Sugar industry

ICCE has more than 25 years of successful experience in building electrical equipment and automation systems for industrial and infrastructure facilities.

With implemented solutions in several hundred facilities throughout the world, ICCE is recognized for its commitment to highest quality standards, efficiency and reliability.

Our solutions for the sugar industry range from automation of single processes to plant wide automation systems.

Our field of expertise also encompasses modernization of existing and outdated single automation systems and their integration and synchronization with the work of other interconnected departments within the factory.

Since its foundation, ICCE is engaged from year to year in the delivery of electrical equipment for the sugar plants, primarily in Serbia and Russia. The delivered equipment includes:

• Low voltage equipment, • MCC (Motor Control Centers), • Measuring and control equipment, • Control Systems,

as well as the installation and commissioning of these systems.
