There are lots of sugar refineries in Taiwan.

臺灣有很多的糖廠

But do you know why in Shanhua?

但你知道為什麼善化要設立糖廠嗎？

And besides the sugar, what products do they make now?

除了糖以外，他們現在還有什麼樣的產品呢？

And what we can find only in Shanhua Sugar Refinery?

善化糖廠又有什麼特色呢？

So let's check it out!

就讓我們實地走一趟吧！

Let me introduce my friend here Mr. Hong

跟大家介紹一下 這是我朋友洪先生

and Section Manager Xiao

還有蕭課長

Hi, Mr. Hong. (Hello)

洪先生你好 （你好）

Hi, Xiao Section Manager. (Hello)

蕭課長你好 （你好）

Hello everyone.

大家好

Bei-an, let me take you on a tour. (Alright)

倍安 我帶你去參觀 （好）

We know that sugar was the most important product of Taiwan,

糖曾經是台灣最重要的農產品之一

so what's the reason that sugar refinery

為什麼糖廠

would be constructed in Shanhua?

會蓋在善化呢？

Why the sugar refinery is located in Shanhua

糖廠為什麼會設在善化

can actually be explained like this,

其實可以這麼講

first of all,

第一個

because this factory was established in 1904.

因為我們這一廠是在1904年設立的

1904 is 8 years before the Republic of China,

1904年 民前八年

and that is 114 years of history.

1904年到今年是2018一共有114年的歷史

The sugar industry has a 400 year history of development in Taiwan.

糖業在臺灣發展有四百年的歷史

When establishing a sugar refinery, one must consider water sources.

設立糖廠必須考慮水源地

The process of refining sugar requires large amounts of water.

糖的製作需要使用大量的水

For ease of access, a sugar refinery must be near a river.

為了取水方便必須靠近河流

Tsung-Yeh sugar refinery is close to Zengwun River,

像總爺糖廠靠近曾文溪

and the Xinying sugar refinery is close to Jishui River.

新營糖廠靠近急水溪

The second thing to consider is the accessibility of materials.

第二 要考慮原料取得是否方便

There needs to be a large crop of sugarcane provided

需要種植大量的甘蔗

as material for making sugar.

才能供應糖的製作

Third of all, it should be situated in a densely populated area.

第三 需要在人口密度較高的聚落

In the early days the Siraya Tribe included

早期西拉雅族本族包括─

Soulang (now Jiali District),

蕭壠社（今佳里區）、

Madou (now Madou District), Xinkang (now Sinshih District),

麻豆社（今麻豆區）、新港社（今新市區）、

and Backloun (now Shanhua District).

目加溜灣社（今善化區），

Shanhua was one of the four great communities,

善化是四大社之一，

and at the same time met

同時又具備製糖的

the three basic requirements for a sugar refinery:

三個基本的條件

close to a water source, materials are easy to get,

近水源地、原料取得便利、

and a supply of labor.

人力資源

That is the reason why a sugar refinery was established in Shanhua.

也因此糖廠設立在善化

All the people like the sugar,

糖是大家都喜歡的東西

and we can't live without the sugar now,

我們的生活也離不開糖

so I want to ask for everyone that

我想替觀眾問問

how to make sugar？

糖是怎麼製作的呢？

Sugar is made from sugarcanes.

糖是由甘蔗製成

Sugarcanes are harvested on farms

我們的原料甘蔗在農場上面

by machines and by hand.

有機械採收跟人工採收

It is a bit more efficient to use machines.

機械採收會比較短一點

Sugar refineries used to transport sugarcanes by railroads.

早期糖廠是用火車運送甘蔗

Now we use trucks to transport them.

現在改用貨車運送

After the raw materials have been delivered to the refinery,

原料送到糖廠後

the sugarcanes are first pressed for juices in the pressing room.

首先進入壓制室將甘蔗榨成汁

The sugarcane chaff is then used as fuel in the boiler room.

而蔗渣的部分 則送進鍋爐室當燃料使用

At the same time, the sugarcane juice is sent to the cleaning room

同時將甘蔗汁送進清淨室

to be sterilized through high temperatures.

高溫殺菌

After the process, the moisture is evaporated

殺菌後再將水分蒸發掉

and the concentrate can be made into sugar crystals.

濃縮才能做成糖的結晶

When the concentrations levels are around 64 percent,

等到純度大約64度

it is sent to the crystallization room.

再從清淨室送到結晶室

In the process of crystallization, molasses will be produced,

結晶後會產生糖蜜

so once again the sugar is sent to a molasses separation room.

因此需要再送進分蜜室

Using high pressure and centrifugal force

利用高壓的離心力原理

molasses is separated from sugar.

將糖跟蜜分離

Molasses can then be made into monosodium glutamate(MSG).

分出來的蜜 早期做成味精

Nowadays, molasses is used as fertilizer.

現在用來做肥料

The finished sugar product is sent to be packaged in the packaging room.

而成品的糖則是送到包裝室進行包裝

So can you show us around the heritage museum

那麼我們可以參觀一下

of Shanhua Sugar Refinery?

善化糖廠的文物館嗎？

Bei-an I'll take you for a look

倍安我帶你去看一下

近年來糖廠紛紛

all been changing into alternative spaces

轉型為替代空間

除了保留了糖廠的歷史文物

but also brings life to the space through art.

也透過藝術讓空間活化

Shanhua Sugar Refinery is the only factory still producing.

目前只剩善化糖廠還保留糖的生產

Apart from producing sugar,

善化糖廠除了生產糖以外，

Shanhua Sugar Refinery also preserves many old artifacts and documents,

opened three heritage museums,

Wow! There's actually a hand crank siren.
