starch washing & drying centrifuge
The starch washing and drying centrifuge represents a critical piece of equipment in modern starch processing facilities, designed to efficiently separate, wash, and dry starch products in a continuous operation. This sophisticated machine employs high-speed centrifugal force to process starch slurry, effectively removing impurities and reducing moisture content to desired levels. The centrifuge operates through a multi-stage process where the starch slurry is first introduced into a rotating basket, where centrifugal force separates the starch from the liquid phase. The separated starch then undergoes a washing phase where clean water is introduced to remove soluble impurities, followed by a dewatering phase that reduces moisture content. The machine's advanced design includes automated control systems that monitor and adjust operational parameters such as rotation speed, washing intensity, and drying time to ensure optimal product quality. With processing capacities ranging from 1 to 50 tons per hour, these centrifuges can accommodate various production scales and are particularly valuable in industries such as food processing, paper manufacturing, and pharmaceutical production.
