A typical hydrocyclone Starch Washing System consists of batteries of cyclones in completely unitized and enclosed housings, arranged for efficient counter current washing. The centrifugal forces needed to make the Separation are derived from energy supplied by pumps. The high rotational velocities in the individual cyclones cause the starch to concentrate in the underflow while the suspended gluten follows the overflow wash water stream. The multistage systems provide easy and precise control of the process, resulting in the uniform, high quality starch required in today highly demanding marketplace.

Applications:

Starch washing, refining and protein separation

Starch concentration

A-starch and B-starch separation

A-starch, B-starch and gluten separation (Hydrocyclone method)

Starch recovery
