Maize starch plant machinery
Ⅰ. Maize starch introduction
Maize starch is a product made from corn kernels, which is made by immersing maize kernels with sulfurous acid, crushing, screening, separating, washing, dehydrating and drying. This product is mainly used in the pharmaceutical, food,
chemical, textile and other industries. In recent years, with the development of production in various industries, maize starch has been widely used because of its wide application, excellent performance and moderate price. In addition
to the main products of maize starch, the maize starch plant machinery described in this article can also obtain three by-products of maize oil, protein powder and maize slurry.
Ⅱ. Maize starch plant machinery and process description:

water pump, main centrifuge sieve, reflux rotary filter, washing filter, dilute gluten tank, feed pump, rotary filter, gluten concentrate centrifuge, starch milk tank, gluten storage tank, hydraulic pump, process water pump
Protein dehydration
Objective: The protein concentrated by the protein concentration centrifuge is dehydrated by a vacuum filter, and then sent to a screw conveyor to enter the protein drying system.
Flow chart:
Concentration and centrifugation of concentrated gluten → concentrated gluten storage tank → gluten vacuum filtration → gluten filter cake spiral → gluten dryer
Equipped maize starch plant machinery: vacuum drum feeding pump, vacuum pump, filtrate receiving tank, flushing pump, rotary filter, shell-and-tube heat exchanger, vacuum drum filter, filtrate pump, screw conveyor, discharging shaft,
cooling pump , reflux pump, vacuum pump circulating water tank
Protein drying
