Potato starch production line is an important processing equipment. The starch grains contained in the potato cells are extracted by crushing the tubers, which releases them from the destroyed cells. The resulted starch is then washed out, dried to powder, and ready to use in either food or various technical applications.
Potato starch has been produced in Denmark on an industrial scale since 1900. Simple enough in theory, the procedures involved in the industrial production of starch escalate in complexity, according to the specific needs of each manufacturer.
75% of the potato crop is grown for industrial processing and the Danes produce per capita more starch than any other nation. The final starch milk is pumped to the filter trough of the rotary vacuum filter. The starch milk is diluted with water. The POTATO STRCH PRODUCTION LINE is sucked against the surface of the rotating drum and is scraped of by a fixed scraper device.
Potato starch production line constitutes the nutritive reserves of many plants. During the growing season, the green leaves collect energy from the sun. In potatoes this energy is transported as a sugar solution down to the tubers, and it is down there that the sugar is converted to starch in the form of tiny granules occupying most of the cell interior. The potatoes will be stored in the day storage after weighed. From the day storage the potatoes will be transported by water stream through a trough into the gravity de-stoner as well as washing without damage and further into the drum washer.
The conversion of sugar to starch takes place by means of enzymes. Then next spring, enzymes are also responsible for the re-conversion of starch to sugar - transported upwards as energy for the growing plant. The washed potatoes will be taken up by an inclined belt conveyor, which transports them into the rasper. Potato starch production line special designed stainless steel rasper is easy to operate. The most effective but simple clamping system guarantees an optimal position of the rasper blades and the clamping working.
