After the sugar beet harvest was completed, the sugar factory's carriage carried a cart full of roots and returned to the factory on the south bank of Xingkai Lake.

The rear end of the percolator enters, and flows in reverse direction with the vegetable shreds depending on the position difference. The steam jackets on the bottom and sides are passed through the steam jackets from the evaporator to heat the vegetable water mixture to the required temperature. The water temperature is very critical in this step.
