In the demanding world of starch production – whether from corn, tapioca, or potatoes – achieving maximum purity and yield hinges on effective separation technology. Meet the Pressure Arc Screen, a sophisticated solid-liquid separation powerhouse engineered specifically for the challenges of modern starch processing. This advanced equipment utilizes controlled pressure to efficiently screen wet materials, ensuring a high-quality final product.
At its core, the Pressure Arc Screen is a specialized type of wedge wire curved screen, typically featuring a 120° arc renowned for delivering exceptional filtering and separation performance. Its robust design includes a durable screen box, an optimized feeding mechanism, and strategically placed outlets, all working in concert.
However, the true heart of the Pressure Arc Screen system lies in the meticulously crafted screen surface. Constructed from high-grade stainless steel wedge wire, this critical component is engineered for precision and longevity.
Advanced Wedge Wire Design: The surface features triangular-profile wedge wires, precisely spaced and resistance-welded to robust support ribs. This creates specific slot sizes tailored to your process needs.
Optimized Flow Dynamics: This unique construction allows the valuable starch slurry to pass through efficiently while reliably retaining larger solid particles, fiber, and impurities.
Durability and Maintainability: The stainless steel build ensures excellent resistance to corrosion and wear, while the smooth surface profile facilitates easy cleaning, minimizing downtime and maintaining peak operational efficiency.
Pressure Arc Screen-Critical Role in Starch Recovery and Fiber Removal
A key application within starch processing lines is the countercurrent fiber washing stage.
Here, multiple Pressure Arc Screens are often arranged strategically.
Their purpose is crucial: to meticulously wash and separate the free starch from the fibrous material. By leveraging pressure and the precise screen openings, the starch (undersize) is efficiently recovered, while the fiber content in the final starch product is kept to an absolute minimum.
This maximizes your valuable starch yield and ensures product purity.
