Starch Technology
|
Westfalia Separator is a technology leader
in starch recovery and offers environment-friendly process
techniques.
Centrifugal separation technology is of central economic
significance in this field. In close co-operation with the
starch industry Westfalia Separator, a technology leader
in starch recovery, has developed environment-friendly process
techniques that ensure optimum utilisation of the raw materials.
Fields of application include :
- Corn starch / Gluten
- Bean starch / Protein coagulate
- Potato starch / Potato pulp / Grated potato / Potato
protein
- Rice starch
- Soya proteins
- Tapioca starch / Manioc starch
- Wheat starch / Gluten / Brans / Protein coagulate
Starch as a key component of many sustainable
raw materials is becoming increasingly important as a
result of the variety of ways in which it can be modified.
Every year, around 50 million tones of starch are recovered
throughout the world. And demand is increasing everyday.
Starch is now also to be found in applications outside
the food industry. The resultant increase in production
capacities as well as the diversification options of the
end products require the latest production installations.
Westfalia Separator AG has so far managed to defend its
world-wide technology leadership for complete process
lines and installations in the field of starch and protein
recovery.

Decanters and nozzle type separators are used
in a wide range of starch recovery processes and frequently
from the heart of the installations. The company co-operates
closely with the starch industry to constantly develop new
process technologies in order to ensure that the processes
become even more efficient that the processes become even
more efficient, cost-effective and environmentally friendly.
This guarantees that optimum use is made of raw materials.

More and more applications are now being
developed outside the food industry. For instant, for biodegradable
packaging or the extraction of technical alcohol, ethanol
from fermentation to be used as an additive in patrol. This
environmentally friendly nature is a major advantage of
starch in native or modified form compared with synthetic
products which are based crude oil
