Sug′ar-press.

A machine for expediting the drainage of the molasses from the sugar.

The box has perforated sides, so that the molasses expressed from the crude sugar may escape and be collected outside. After the pressure has been carried to a sufficient extent, a wedge in the platform, upon which the press-box stands, directly beneath the box, is withdrawn, and the dry sugar falls through the opening into a box below.
