The Decanter Centrifuge for Wheat Corn Starch Separation continuously separates starch solids from process water in wheat starch and corn starch production.

It is suitable for starch slurry thickening, gluten separation, starch recovery, process water clarification, and wet starch dewatering applications.

The decanter centrifuge provides continuous solid-liquid separation with high throughput, helping starch plants improve recovery efficiency and reduce downstream drying load.

Fine Starch Particle Loss

Starch particles are usually very fine and can easily remain suspended in water, causing product loss and reducing recovery rate.

High Moisture Content

Wet starch cake contains a large amount of free water, increasing energy consumption during drying.

Variable Slurry Concentration

Raw material quality, grinding conditions, and process flow can cause unstable feed concentration.

Difficult Solid-Liquid Separation

Starch slurry has low-density solids that require suitable centrifugal force and differential speed control.

Product Quality Requirements

Excessive shear or improper separation conditions may affect starch purity and particle characteristics.

Continuous Production Demand

Large starch plants require stable long-term operation with minimal downtime.

Wheat / Corn Starch Slurry
→ Pretreatment
→ Feed Tank
→ Decanter Centrifuge
→ Concentrated Starch Cake + Clarified Process Water

Recovered Starch Cake → Drying / Packaging / Further Processing

Separated Gluten & Solid Residue → Recovery / Further Processing

Clarified Water → Process Recycling / Treatment
