Efficiency and Precision in Starch Paste Production
Our Starch Jet Cooker represents the state-of-the-art for preparing high-concentration starch paste and colloidal solutions. Designed for continuous flow operation, the system ensures complete and uniform gelatinization of starch granules, eliminating the risk of “fish eyes” or inconsistency in the final product.
Optimized Conversion Process
The quality of the starch paste is critical for Sizing and Coating processes in the paper industry. Our technology ensures superior paste characteristics through:
- Thermochemical Conversion: Controlled reaction between starch and oxidants at high temperatures to produce starch paste with calibrated and stable viscosity.
- Enzymatic Conversion: A bio-technical process where alpha-amylase action is modulated with extreme thermal precision, transforming the slurry into a high-quality starch paste while reducing chemical costs.
Exclusive Benefits of the Starch Engineering System
- Superior Starch Paste Quality: The feedback control system constantly monitors Brix concentration, ensuring the starch paste meets exact specifications for downstream applications.
- Instantaneous Gelatinization: Direct steam injection guarantees that every granule is cooked evenly, resulting in a clear, lump-free, and stable starch paste.
- Raw Material Versatility: Ideal for producing high-grade paste from corn (maize), wheat, potato (tuber), and tapioca starch.
Integration and Automation
Each unit is designed for autonomous starch paste production, featuring integrated Cleaning-In-Place (CIP) cycles to prevent deposits and maintain maximum heat transfer efficiency in the jet cooker head.
