Basic Product Information
Our Sugar Beet Molasses is a syrupy product which we obtain during the process of refining sugar from sugar beets.
Its palatability, high energy content and suitability as a pelleting aid make molasses an essential component in compound feed production. As an energy and taste component, and for its dust-binding properties, molasses is also used directly in the feed rations of various animal species and can also be used as an ensiling additive.
We offer several varieties of beet molasses. Depending on what product you use, the molasses will differ in sugar content as well as dry matter content. Depending on your application or requirements, you can choose from the following standard portfolio of molasses:

Packaging, Storage and Shelf Life
Bulk
You should store our Molasses in steel tanks, avoiding temperatures higher than 40 °C and pH values lower than 7 over a longer period to limit the risk of self-heating, foaming and gas (CO2) formation. To prevent crystallization and to ensure the pumpability of the product, it should be stored at around 20-30 °C.
