Nozzle separators for starch recovery
In the industrial starch production process, efficient washing and concentration of crude starch is essential to maintain product quality and process continuity. High energy consumption and extensive maintenance requirements can pose significant challenges.
Efficient starch washing and concentration
The nozzle separators from GEA are designed to optimize the washing and concentration of crude starch, ensuring maximum capacity with minimal energy consumption. These separators feature a closed feed and discharge system, preventing oxidation and maintaining starch quality. The optional direct drive increases capacity without additional energy input, while the compact design reduces noise and service costs. The separators also offer continuous and stable feed to the HC unit for simplified washing and are equipped with CIP (clean-in-place) capabilities that function at operating speed. Replacing nozzles is straightforward due to their accessible design, eliminating the need to dismantle the hood or bowl. These features make the nozzle separators suitable for applications in the food and dairy industries.
