Old Sugar Mill Model
This Old Sugar Mill Model has been built by the Mauritius Chamber of Agriculture in 1953. It is a replica of early sugar mills with vertical cylinders drawn by oxen. The cane juice accumulated in a pond and led into a set of five caudrons, two of which served to filter off foreign bodies. The juice was then cooked to the consistency of caramel. After setting in a wooden tray it was shaped into wooden moulds. This Old Sugar Mill Model satisfied the needs of its time.
