Abstract

The amount of cane fiber carried by cane carrier varies due to non-uniformity of cane supply. The continuous variation of cane in chute during the cane juice extraction inversely affects the cane juice extraction efficiency of mill. This paper deals with the development and performance comparison of conventional controller and fuzzy controller to maintain the cane level in chute during juice extraction. The conventional controller is developed using VHDL language and simulated by using Xilinx ISE 14.5 version. The fuzzy controller is developed and simulated by using fuzzy toolbox of ‘MATLAB® version 7.11.0.584 (R2020b).
