Sweet Potato Starch Refining Process Complicated, Multicyclone Simplifies Washing Procedures

In the overseas wet processing of sweet potato starch, the complicated process of the refining section is a typical problem restricting the production efficiency of the production line. The traditional refining process needs to complete washing, separation, concentration, purification and other processes step by step, and each link needs to be equipped with special equipment, which not only increases the equipment investment cost, but also reduces the overall refining efficiency due to waiting time in process connection. At the same time, the operation mode of multiple equipment and multiple processes has high requirements for manual control, which is prone to starch quality fluctuations due to process connection problems, and there are many equipment operation and maintenance points, increasing the time and labor costs of daily maintenance.

Sweet potato starch refining is a key link for upgrading crude starch to finished products. The complicated process directly affects the efficiency and economy of large-scale production. Simplifying the refining process and realizing integrated processing of multiple processes has become a core demand for sweet potato starch plants to optimize production layout. As a starch refining equipment integrating multiple functions, the Multicyclone can realize the simultaneous completion of multiple processes and is the core selection equipment to solve the problem of complicated processes.

Targeting the pain point of complicated sweet potato starch refining process, the Multicyclone relies on multi-functional integrated design and integrated process layout, integrating multiple refining processes such as washing, separation, concentration and purification into a single equipment to complete synchronously, greatly simplifying the process flow, and ensuring the refining effect at the same time, adapting to the needs of large-scale sweet potato starch processing.

This Multicyclone has the integrated function of concentration, recovery, washing and separation. After the sweet potato crude starch emulsion enters the equipment, it completes the separation of impurities such as fine slag and protein, deep starch washing, and efficient emulsion concentration at one time through cyclone centrifugal force, without step-by-step treatment by multiple sets of equipment, and directly outputs high-purity and high-concentration refined starch emulsion. It streamlines multiple processes into a single link, greatly shortening the refining cycle; the equipment pipeline is designed through computer optimization, adopting a compact structure of serial stacking, with integrated connection without additional transfer links, allowing the starch emulsion to complete the whole refining process in a closed pipeline, simplifying the process layout of the production line structurally and reducing the equipment occupation space.

Meanwhile, the equipment is equipped with a self-developed centrifugal pump with shrouded impeller and an exclusive feeding system, which can realize continuous and automatic transportation and processing of raw materials without frequent manual intervention in the connection of various processes, further simplifying the operation process; all models are designed with gradient capacity (10t/h-30t/h and above), which can be seamlessly connected with the preceding crushing and subsequent drying sections, realizing the process connection optimization of the entire production line and making the sweet potato starch processing process smoother.

In the equipment selection of overseas sweet potato starch plants, to simplify the washing and refining process and improve production efficiency through the Multicyclone, two core selection points need to be grasped to adapt to the wet processing technology and capacity demand of sweet potato starch:

1. Prioritize the Multicyclone with integrated functions of washing + separation + concentration. The integrated function is the core to simplify the process flow, which can directly replace multiple special equipment, realize the completion of multiple refining processes with a single equipment, and take into account process simplification and refining efficiency;
2. Combine the actual processing scale of the production line to match the Multicyclone model with corresponding gradient capacity. Small and medium-capacity production lines can choose MC445/MC500, and large-scale production lines prefer MC550/MC600 to ensure that the refining capacity of the equipment matches the output of the preceding crude starch and the processing capacity of the subsequent sections, realizing seamless process connection of the production line.

At the same time, select the model with the whole machine made of food-grade stainless steel and supporting CIP cleaning in place. While simplifying the process, it realizes rapid cleaning and convenient maintenance of the equipment, reduces subsequent operation and maintenance processes, further improves the overall efficiency of sweet potato starch processing, and conforms to the operation and maintenance needs of overseas large-scale production.

This Multicyclone has become the preferred equipment for overseas sweet potato starch processing enterprises to solve the complicated refining process. Through multi-functional integration and integrated process design, it greatly simplifies the washing and refining process, reduces equipment investment and manual control costs, and at the same time improves the refining efficiency and quality stability, adapting to the large-scale and high-efficiency processing needs of overseas sweet potato starch.
