Horizontal peeler centrifuge HX L S-Starch

HX/L/S horizontal peeler centrifuge

The horizontal peeler centrifuge HX/L/S with rotating siphon is designed for production of starch (native and modified). The ability to create vacuum under the filter medium, with the siphon, allows to accelerate the filtration rate, optimizing the work cycle and the residual moisture. The centrifuge HX/L/S is designed for the automatic regeneration of the residual cake (“back wash”)to keep the filtering properties unchanged in time. The use also of the front skimmer allows to remove efficiently the proteins or the fine fibers, which results in a better quality of the produced starch. The cycle (feeding, washing, centrifugation and peeling) can be run at maximum speed, obtaining a high hourly production.
