Microtec - Centrifugal Sieve for Modified Starch Processing
Microtec's Centrifugal Sieve is engineered for high-efficiency starch production and processing. Slurry is introduced directly to the center of the conical rotating screen basket where centrifugal force drives the starch through the screen. The design ensures that fibers and pulp are separated effectively, with the starch passing through and exiting the back of the basket. Integrated water spraying nozzles located inside and outside of the basket wash the fiber/pulp and prevent any potential screen blockages, enhancing operational reliability. This system is optimized for applications involving the processing of corn, potato, wheat starch, and the production of sweeteners and bio-plastics. Its technical reliability makes it suitable for industrial-scale starch modification processes where consistent performance and maintenance of screen efficacy are critical.
High-Grade Glucose and Sweeteners Production Machinery
High-grade glucose and sweeteners production machinery typically involve the usage of two primary evaporators to achieve the desired Brix concentration: the Falling Film Evaporator and the Plate Evaporator. The Falling Film Evaporator operates by evenly distributing glucose on the inner surfaces of tubes, creating a thin film from which evaporation occurs due to applied steam heat. This type of evaporator requires minimal temperature differences and ensures short product contact times, making it highly suitable for heat-sensitive substances like glucose, fructose, and maltose. On the other hand, Plate Evaporators work by pumping syrup between thin plates with heating mediums on the mating surfaces. The generated vapor creates a high-velocity core, which subsequently forms a high-velocity thin film on the heat exchange surface, ensuring efficient heat transfer. These evaporators are essential in the production of sweeteners and glucose, providing efficient and effective heat management essential in the crystallization and concentration processes.
