Starch separator for starch production
In starch processing industries, achieving high-quality starch separation while minimizing energy use and maintenance is crucial. Traditional separation methods can struggle with high solids loads and continuous discharge requirements, resulting in frequent blockages and inefficiencies.
Optimize starch separation with low energy use
The Merco starch separator from Alfa Laval is specifically designed for the starch industry. Equipped with a motor, self-cleaning strainer, and various sensors, it efficiently handles high solids loads and continuous discharge. Its unique recirculation system allows users to adjust settings without halting operations, providing precise control over the separation process. This centrifuge uses large-diameter nozzles to prevent blockages and is available in two models: the Merco 32 and Merco 38. The Merco 32 features a patented power-saving nozzle design and stable high yield, while the Merco 38 offers a 30% capacity increase and up to 25% power reduction.
Benefits
- Enhanced separation capacity
- Reduced power consumption
- Reduced maintenance and servicing
- Easy to adjust operating parameters
- Handles high solids loads efficiently
