Agitators for Starch Processing Tanks

Tailored Design for Starch Applications:

• Each agitator is custom-built to suit the specific requirements of individual process tanks used in starch production, ensuring optimal mixing and homogenization at every stage.
• Each agitator is custom-built to suit the specific requirements of individual process tanks used in starch production, ensuring optimal mixing and homogenization at every stage.
• The agitators are equipped with variable speed drives, allowing for precise control of agitation intensity based on the viscosity and behavior of the material being processed.

Material of Construction:

• Our agitators are constructed from high-quality stainless steel (SS304/SS316), ensuring durability, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with the processing of food-grade products such as starch.
• Special surface finishes and polishing options are available to meet hygiene standards required in food processing.

Energy Efficient Agitation:

• Hydrofoil Impellers are employed in various tanks to ensure energy-efficient, low-turbulence mixing, which is critical for handling delicate starch suspensions without damaging product quality.
• The impellers are designed for maximum flow at minimum power consumption, optimizing the entire production process.

Process-Specific Agitator Configurations:

• Our agitators are designed with process-specific impeller configurations to ensure thorough mixing, slurry homogenization, and sediment suspension, particularly in fiber wash, germ separation, and gluten recovery processes.
• The design of each agitator focuses on preventing dead zones, ensuring uniform distribution, and maintaining stable flow patterns, even in large-capacity tanks.

High-Capacity Mixing:

• Suitable for both batch and continuous production systems, our agitators are designed to handle varying tank sizes, from small intermediate storage tanks to large capacity fermentation and washing tanks.
• Our agitators are available with optional features like heating/cooling jackets for temperature control, critical in starch production when enzymatic processes are involved.

Fiber Wash Tank:

• The fiber wash tank is a critical stage in separating fibrous material from starch slurry. Verito’s agitators ensure effective washing and separation by providing gentle yet consistent mixing that keeps fibers in suspension without allowing settling or clogging.
• The design includes high-flow, low-shear impellers that provide uniform flow throughout the tank, ensuring that fibers are thoroughly washed while maintaining starch integrity.

Pinmill Intermediate Tank:

• After the milling process, starch slurry is transferred to the pinmill intermediate tank. The agitator’s role here is to ensure proper mixing and stabilization of the slurry while maintaining consistency for further separation stages.
• Verito’s agitators provide gentle agitation to maintain slurry homogeneity, avoiding sedimentation and ensuring that all material is well-prepared for the next processing step.

Germ Wash Tank:

• Germ washing is essential for separating germ from starch. The agitator must ensure that the mixture remains well-suspended for effective separation. Verito’s agitators utilize efficient axial flow impellers that provide strong flow and gentle mixing to suspend germs without damaging the starch content.
• By optimizing the flow rate and turbulence, Verito’s agitators enhance germ separation efficiency, reducing process times and improving product purity.

Grinder Tank:

• The grinder tank is used to prepare starch slurry for further refinement. Agitators for this tank need to ensure uniform grinding by maintaining the consistency of the starch slurry.
• Verito’s agitators incorporate multi-stage mixing elements to provide continuous suspension of starch particles, ensuring uniform particle size distribution and preventing lump formation.

Light Gluten Tank:

• In the light gluten tank, proper separation of gluten from starch is vital. Verito’s agitators provide gentle, laminar flow to keep gluten and starch in suspension, preventing gluten from settling and improving recovery efficiency.
• The agitators are designed with low-shear impellers to minimize product damage, ensuring that gluten is efficiently recovered while starch remains intact.

Optimal Process Control:

• Our agitators are designed to provide precise control over mixing, ensuring that each stage of starch processing, from fiber washing to gluten recovery, is handled with accuracy and efficiency.

Reduced Energy Consumption:

• By using high-efficiency impellers and variable speed control, Verito’s agitators reduce power consumption without compromising on mixing performance.

Consistent Product Quality:

• Agitators are designed to provide uniform mixing, ensuring that starch slurry, fiber, germ, and gluten are processed evenly, resulting in consistent product quality.

Durability and Hygiene:

• Built with food-grade stainless steel, our agitators meet the strict hygiene requirements of the starch industry while offering long-lasting durability, even in continuous operations.
