Hi Andrea:

I make up sugar syrup in a 45 gallon bbl. I take a hose from the hot water
connector to my washing machine and put 70 kg of hot water ( about 130 deg 
F) into the bbl. I then add 120 kg of sugar.

I have a fairly good mixer which I run for about an hour. There is almost no 
solid sugar left at the end of the hour. I find that making the proportions 
slightly less than 2 to 1 eliminates most of the granulation.

You might be able to filter your syrup through a bag as used for making 
jelly to get rid of the unwanted sugar crystals.  They will plug up the bag 
fairly quickly, but you can use a hose to wash them off.

             Best regards
