Innovations in Potato Starch Separation: Boosting Yield and Quality with Centrifuge Sieve

The separation process is an important step in potato starch processing, which determines the high quality of potato starch. The use of modern equipment, such as centrifuge sieve, can improve the yield and quality of potato starch separation. Today, Henan Jinrui will explore how centrifuge sieve can improve potato starch separation, increase yield and quality by introducing the working principle of centrifuge sieve in the potato starch separation process and the innovation of the equipment.

Working principle of centrifuge sieve in potato starch separation

After the potatoes are crushed, they enter the separation stage. The separation process is mainly to separate the fiber impurities in the potato starch. Therefore, the selection of suitable potato starch separation equipment determines the final quality of the potato starch. Centrifuge sieve, the modern equipment, is very popular in the starch processing industry and is used to separate potato starch. The working principle of the centrifuge sieve in the potato starch separation process is mainly to separate the fiber impurities with greater gravity through high-speed operation under the action of centrifugal force, so as to obtain high-quality potato starch slurry.

Impact of innovation of centrifuge sieve on the yield and quality

One of the reasons why centrifuge sieve are popular in the starch processing industry is that modern centrifuge sieve adopts some innovative designs, which can greatly promote the yield and quality of potato starch separation. Below we take the centrifuge sieve designed by Henan Jinrui as an example to introduce in detail the innovation of centrifuge sieve and their impact on the yield and quality of potato starch separation.

One of the innovations of the centrifuge sieve manufactured by Henan Jinrui is the horizontal design. The traditional vertical centrifuge sieve has a maximum speed of 600~800rpm. If the speed is higher, the material is easily thrown out, the sieving distance is relatively short, and the separation effect will naturally not be very good. On the contrary, the horizontal centrifuge sieve provided by Henan Jinrui can rotate up to 1200rpm in potato starch separation. The mixture of starch granules and fibers makes a spiral motion on the high-speed rotating sieve basket, so as to achieve a better separation effect and increase starch yield.

Innovation of centrifuge sieve

Henan Jinrui's centrifuge sieve adopts 4-5 stages sieving design, which is also the biggest innovation of potato starch separation equipment. In the process of potato starch separation, potato starch slurry is first screened in the first stage, and the separated slurry can be directly discharged to the next process. The separated fiber is sent to the second stage for sieving again, and the slurry is discharged. The fiber enters the third stage sieving. At this time, the recovered slurry enters the first two stages for further sieving, and the fiber enters the fourth stage for sieving again. Finally, the screened fiber is directly discharged for dehydration, and the slurry of the last stage is returned to the previous stages for sieving. There is a backwash system in the centrifuge sieve. Clean water is added from the last stage to form a countercurrent washing, which ensures the quality of potato starch while reducing the loss of starch.

The technological progress of potato starch separation, led by the use of centrifuge sieve equipment, has far-reaching influence. The innovation of centrifuge sieve makes the potato starch separation process more efficient and promotes the quality and yield of starch separation.
