This invention relates to a diffuser and more particularly to a chain diffuser for use in a sugar extraction process. The diffuser includes a diffuser floor, and a plurality of chain ladder assemblies being displaceable relative to the diffuser floor. Each of the chain ladder assemblies comprise two opposing chains being driven by drive sprockets, with the drive sprockets located on a drive shaft arrangement. The drive shaft arrangement includes at least two independent drive shafts located end to end, with each drive shaft driven by its own dedicated driving means. The diffuser is characterized in that the drive shaft arrangement includes synchronization means for ensuring that the two drive shafts rotate at the same speed. |
