Starch production begins with a raw slurry which consists of a mixture of solid and liquid. In order to transform the slurry into a usable form, the liquid must be removed. The two main processes for removing moisture are mechanical dewatering and thermal dewatering. To achieve the optimal moisture level of 15%, a combination of both processes is commonly used. Thermal dewatering is an expensive process, so ideally, mechanical watering should remove as much of the moisture as possible to shorten the thermal dewatering phase. This is where Reineveld centrifuges excel. Our centrifuges consistently achieve a moisture content of 32-35% and as such have become an indispensible component in starch production.
