Skip′ping-teache.


Sugar-making.) A dipping-pan used in a sugar-boiling house for lifting the concentrated saccharine solution from the open evaporating-pan and conveying it to the cooler.

It is a pan-shaped vessel with a valve in the bottom, worked by a handle. It is lowered by a crane into the pan, the bottom being open; the valve is then closed, the vessel raised, and with its contents removed to the coolers, where the sirup is discharged by moving the handle of the valve.
