POTATO STARCH PRODUCTION LINE MACHINE DESCRIPTION:
The production of potato starch comprises the machines such as
potato washing machine, crushing machine, fine fiber sieve,
desander and desilter, starch hydrocyclone, vacuum filter, airflow
flash dryer and packaging machine. We have provided below a brief
description on the main steps of the potato starch production
process.
1. POTATO WASHING MACHINE: wash the fresh potato roots in clean water to remove mud, sand and
other impurities. NOTE: The water source should be checked regularly to ensure it is not
dirty or contaminated.
2. POTATO CRUSHING MACHINE(STARCH EXTRACTION MACHINE): load the crusher with washed potato roots while the engine is
running to crush the potato roots into the potato slurry, and
separate to remove the potato residues, to obtain uniformly smooth
potato slurry. NOTE: The crushing drum and all food contact areas should be made from
stainless steel.
3. FINE FIBER SIEVE(POTATO SIEVING MACHINE): commonly physical operation which is used for the separation of
potato residues from potato slurry by interposing a medium(filter)
through which only the raw starch milk can pass (depending on the
pore size and filter thickness).
4. DESANDER AND DESILTER: solid control equipment that separate sand and silt from the raw
starch milk. Desander is installed before the desilter and normally
the solids diameter for desander to be separated would be larger
than for desilter.
5. STARCH HYDROCYCLONE: classify, separate or sort particles in a liquid suspension based
on the ratio of their centripetal force to fluid resistance, this
ratio is high for dense and coarse particles, and low for light and
fine particles.
6. VACUUM FILTER(POTATO STARCH DEWATERING MACHINE): it's considered a proven technique for separating fines from
liquids to realize the starch water content up to 35-40% for the
next starch drying.
7. AIRFLOW FLASH DRYER(POTATO STARCH DRYING MACHINE): effectively dry the wet starch to low moisture content by
principle of heat transfer exchange, and sieve to obtain fine
granules of uniform size, larger particles of starch that are
separated should be broken again.
8. STARCH PACKAGING MACHINE: pack desired quantities into a woven polythene sack with a plastic
lining, seal or stitch the sack to keep the starch clean and fresh
during storage. Properly label the packages according to the
standards of national regulatory agencies.
