How is potato starch made?

Potato starch processing line adopts the wet processing technology of starch production, and no additives are added in the whole production process. As a professional complete set equipment manufacturer, the whole processing line for how is potato starch made has the features with matured technology, advanced equipment, scientific configuration and reasonable technology.

The process for how is potato starch made is designed in the folowing steps:
Potato choosing and weighting-cleaning and washing-crushing-separating and desanding-concentrating and refining-dewatering-drying and packing

Potato cleaning machine

1.Cleaning: In the process of how is potato starch made, the first step is cleaning the raw material. The cleaning machine is dry sieve which can effectively remove the small stones, dirt, sand and other impurities out of potato in potato starch factory. With the help of the inner spirals, the potato move steady forward without damage the raw material.

2.Washing: Rotary washing machine is a widely used potato washing machine for how is potato starch made. It adopts countercurrent washing principle which has a better washing effect. On the one hand, fresh potato in the rotary washing machine moves in a circular motion along the drum wall, and on the other hand, moves in a straight line along the axis. In this way, fresh potatoes are well washed.  Reasonable feeding ensures low breakage rate of raw material and high starch extraction rate. The breakage rate is lower than 1%.

3.Grating: fter washing, the potato stays in the clean silo to drain the water, then it is transported into the rasper by screw feeder. The crushing process is an important process for how is potato starch made which determines the starch yield. Therefore it will be better to choose a machine with high crushing coefficiency and high starch extration rate. DOING rasper is such a machine to satisfy your need. By fully introduces advanced technology from home and abroad,the starch breaking rate of the rasper is above 94%.

4.Separating: The starch slurry contains protein, fiber, cell sap and other impurities. Therefore it is necessary to separate these from starch to produce high quality starch. In this process of how is potato starch made, the centrifuge sieve is the mainly used potato starch processing machine. The purpose of centrifuge sieve is to separating the fiber from the starch slurry. This machine has two important features, the stainless steel structure and the titanium plate material for the screen mesh. Compared with other material, the titanium plate allows thinner screen mesh pore which result in better separation effect.

5.Desanding: Due to the high sand content in starch, the desander is needed to remove sand form the starch slurry for how is potato starch made. The desander can remove sand from starch at one time and improve the product quality to a higher level. The desander separates sand from starch by using different densities of sand and starch.

6. Concentration and refining:  Hydrocyclone station is widely used for this process for how is potato starch made. The hydrocyclone station is composed of multistage cyclone in a certain way. According to the processing function of each stage cyclone in the cyclone station, different number of cyclone pipes and a feed pump need to be installed. The whole unit is independent in the process, compact in structure and convenient in installation.

7.Dewatering: The water content of starch milk coming out of hydrocyclone station is too large to dry directly for how is potato starch made. Therefore, it is necessary to dehydrate starch milk first to make sure the water content of starch is about 40%. Then the starch goes into the air dryer feed hopper by cleaning conveyor belt.

8.Drying: After dewatering, the water content in starch is still high so it need the drying process for how is potato starch made. The potato starch manufacturing machine used in this process is flash dryer. The flash dryer adopts the negative pressure drying system which can effectively reduces the loss of the starch and meanwhile purifies the working environment. The high speed hot air dry the starch just in 2-3 seconds which has an significant energy saving effect.
