Jaggery Yield Calculator

Work out jaggery yield instantly with clear inputs, formula shown and shareable results.

About Jaggery Yield Calculator

Jaggery output follows the dissolved solids in the juice: cane x juice extraction gives juice weight, times Brix gives solids, and about 88% of those solids survive clarification and boiling as jaggery. Typical recovery is 10-12% of cane weight in a well-run open-pan unit.

Formula

Jaggery yield

Juice = cane x extraction %; solids = juice x Brix; jaggery = solids x 0.88

Worked example

With the default values below, Jaggery Yield Calculator returns Jaggery Yield of 1,029.60. Change any input above and every figure here is recalculated in your browser.

Assumptions and limits

The result is derived only from the 4 inputs listed above. Anything not among them is not part of the calculation.
In particular, this calculator does not take inflation, tax, fees or charges or compounding frequency into account.
Figures are rounded for display to 2 decimal places, so totals built from several rounded parts can differ slightly from the unrounded arithmetic.

How these calculators are built and tested is described on the Methodology page. If a figure looks wrong, please report it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is jaggery recovery higher than sugar recovery?

Jaggery retains all the sucrose plus invert sugars, minerals and moisture, whereas sugar milling crystallises only sucrose and rejects the rest into molasses.

What limits juice extraction in a small crusher?

Roller pressure, number of mills and the use of imbibition water. Three-roller bullock or motor crushers get 55-65%; a factory tandem with imbibition reaches 92-96%.
