 AUTOMATIC COOK PAN. 



The Automatic Cook Pan has three divisions, each performing separate ofBces, and 

 all fconnected by high ledges and gates, nnder the full control of the operator. The 

 processes of defecation, clarification, and finishing, are systematically carried on with- 

 out interruption to the end. 



The first division frees the juice from its crude impurities, Avhilst passing through 

 the channels, by the automatic action of the skimming device, which throws the scum 

 in an opposite direction from the moving juice. 



In the second division, the juice is freed from its remaining impurities and reduced 

 to semi-syrup. This division is provided with high ledges, to prevent the mixing of 

 the juice; and is so constructed, that the scum is thrown to the opposite side, or into 

 the trough, to be returned to the first division for re-scparation. This saves a consider- 

 able percentage of syrup. 



The semi-syrup is taken by the third division, and finished as rapidly as possible to 

 the sugar point, and drawn into coolers. 



The Automatic Cook Pan secures thorough defecation, saves o large percentage of juice 

 that would otherwise be wasted, and saves labor in skimming and fuel. 



Full direction for building arch and working pan sent with each pan.
