The International Exhibition: sugar-refining apparatus of Messrs. Caile and Co. of Paris, 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: sugar-refining apparatus of Messrs. Caile and Co. of Paris, 1862. European machine processing sugar cane from the colonies. These gentlemen have manufacturing establishments on the largest scale in Paris, Valenciennes, Douay, Brussels, and Amsterdam; besides agencies and depots in Russia, Havannah, and many other places. They employ about 5000 workmen. This company have been noted in tropical regions for the goodness of their workmanship and, the advanced state of its scientific perfection, besides being the introducers in their own and other countries of useful inventions made, or which they have encouraged others to make, in various branches of industry. The system of vacuum apparatus, together with all the requisite mechanical appliances for actually forwarding the progressive steps by which sugar is now either produced from juice or subsequently refined from raw sugar may be seen in the western annexe. In the Belgian and French departments respectively an inspection of the graduated operations by which juice or syrup ultimately becomes a refined crystal of sugar will be found instructive, but a detailed knowledge can only be accurately acquired by inspecting the systems of mechanism exhibited at the place'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the sugar-refining apparatus of Messrs. Caile and Co. of Paris, exhibited at The International Exhibition in 1862. The image offers a glimpse into the European processing of sugar cane imported from colonies during the Industrial Revolution. Messrs. Caile and Co. were renowned for their extensive manufacturing establishments in Paris, Valenciennes, Douay, Brussels, and Amsterdam, employing a significant workforce of approximately 5000 individuals. Their reputation extended beyond Europe, with agencies and depots in Russia, Havanna, and numerous other locations. The company was celebrated for its exceptional workmanship and scientific advancements in various industries. They were pioneers in introducing innovative inventions, such as vacuum apparatus, to both their own and other countries. The system of vacuum apparatus, along with the essential mechanical appliances for refining sugar from juice or raw sugar, is on display in the western annexe. Visitors to the Belgian and French departments were encouraged to inspect the graduated operations transforming juice or syrup into refined crystals of sugar. Although the commercial use of the sugar was not explicitly mentioned, the detailed process of sugar production and refinement was a significant draw for attendees. A comprehensive understanding of the mechanisms at play could only be fully grasped through an in-depth examination of the systems on display at the exhibition.
