Pan Boiler

Pan Boiler

Job Summary:

The Pan Boiler operates and monitors vacuum pans to produce sugar crystals of the required size and quality from concentrated syrup. The role requires precise control of process parameters, preparation and use of seed slurry for crystallization, and regular sampling for laboratory analysis. The Pan Boiler ensures equipment is properly maintained, minimizes process deviations, and works closely with centrifugal operators, the laboratory, and supervisors to achieve production targets.

Job Responsibilities:

• Operate vacuum pans to boil massecuite under controlled conditions for sugar crystallization.
• Monitor and adjust operating parameters (temperature, vacuum, brix, steam flow) to ensure uniform sugar crystal growth.
• Prepare and apply seed slurry for pan seeding to initiate crystallization.
• Take regular massecuite samples and coordinate with the laboratory for crystal size and quality analysis.
• Ensure proper maintenance and cleanliness of pans, valves, and accessories for reliable operation.
• Record operating data, process adjustments, and deviations in shift logs for effective handover.
• Maintain good housekeeping and ensure GMP in all pan floor activities.
• Collaborate with centrifugal operators to ensure smooth massecuite discharge and spinning operations.
• Support continuous improvement initiatives to reduce energy consumption, improve yield, and minimize sugar losses.
• Perform other duties as assigned by the Shift Pan Floor Supervisor or Coordinator.

Qualifications:

• OND with no experience/ SSCE with experience.
• Minimum two (2) years of relevant experience.
