Starch

Innovative centrifugal technology for wheat starch production

Starch has been produced from various feedstocks for quite some time. The desire for a broad range of end products coupled with stronger environmental regulations, forces producers to look for most effective and economic processing equipment available. Utilizing the FLOTTWEG TRICANTER® to separate A-starch, pentosans, and gluten/B-Starch into 3 distinct fractions is the most effective and economic way to process wheat flour into its by-products.

Benefits of FLOTTWEG TRICANTER® for wheat starch
  • Better separation efficiency. A good starch split makes downstream processing easier and improves product quality and yield.
  • Easier and more flexible to operate. Allows the end user to produce high quality end products from changing feed materials.
  • Minimal fresh water consumption.
  • Waste water reduction with minimal solids content.
