Jaggery Boiling Pan Riveting & Heavy Iron Sheet Patching

Kisan Gur Kadhai Heavy Welding & Riveting Works

Roaring bagasse-fired jaggery furnaces burn at extreme temperatures, thin out the bottom plates of giant iron boiling pans, and cause sudden syrup leaks right into the fire pit. A ruptured boiling pan can dump hundreds of liters of hot, concentrated sugarcane syrup into the furnace flames, halting jaggery production and threatening worker safety. This heavy blacksmith workshop uses heavy pneumatic rivet hammers, oxy-acetylene cutting torches, and thick mild-steel plates to overhaul massive jaggery kadhais spanning several feet in diameter. The boilermaker cuts away heat-thinned bottom sections, hot-rivets overlapping replacement patches with red-hot iron rivets, and seals joint seams with durable high-temperature refractory welds. Jaggery makers transport their giant boiling pans to the yard before the cane crushing season starts, knowing that a sound, heavily patched kadhai withstands months of continuous furnace heat without burning through.
