Pan Boiler Operator

About the role

The Pan Boiler Operator is responsible for running vacuum pans to produce sugar crystals of the required size and quality. The role involves precise control of process parameters, preparation of seed slurry, and close collaboration with laboratory and centrifugal teams to meet production targets.

Key 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.

Required profile

• OND with no experience or SSCE with experience.
• Minimum two years of relevant experience.
