Starch processing separation
Compare cake moisture, washing and product recovery together. The appropriate separation cycle depends on the starch source, concentration, particle distribution and the load that downstream drying can accept.
Define the duty before the model.
- Starch source and solids concentration
- Particle-size distribution
- Wash requirements and product losses
- Dryer inlet moisture target

GKH
Siphon Peeler Centrifuge
A horizontal peeler centrifuge with a siphon liquid-removal arrangement that adds control over the filtration driving force.

The engineering conversation
Cake thickness, distribution and permeability determine how liquid moves through the starch bed. Fine particles and concentration changes can alter the cycle. Washing may be important for removing soluble impurities, but product loss and wastewater volume must be measured. The centrifuge should be considered together with upstream slurry preparation and downstream drying or conveying.
Request a GKH trial using representative slurry and the intended wash liquid. Review the complete cycle, material balance and filter-cloth regeneration over repeated batches. Agree the moisture measurement basis and allowable variations before converting the trial result into a performance commitment.
