Component Specifications

Definition
A precision-engineered conical body component that forms the core separation chamber in starch hydrocyclone systems. This component utilizes centrifugal forces to separate starch granules from process water based on density differences, with the conical geometry creating controlled vortex flow patterns that facilitate efficient separation of fine starch particles from liquid media in industrial starch processing operations.
Working Principle
Operates on centrifugal separation principles where starch slurry enters tangentially, creating a vortex flow. Heavier starch particles migrate toward the conical wall and descend through the apex outlet, while lighter water and fine particles ascend through the central vortex finder. The conical geometry accelerates particles downward while maintaining stable vortex patterns for consistent separation efficiency.
Materials
Food-grade 316L stainless steel (1.4404) or polyurethane with FDA/EC1935/2004 compliance. Surface finish: Ra ≤ 0.8 μm for stainless steel, hardness 90-95 Shore A for polyurethane. Corrosion resistance: withstands pH 3-11, temperatures 5-95°C.

Frequently Asked Questions

What maintenance is required for conical bodies in starch hydrocyclones?

Regular inspection for wear, cleaning with CIP systems using food-grade cleaners, and checking for erosion at the apex. Replacement typically needed after 2-5 years depending on abrasive starch content.

How does cone angle affect starch separation performance?

Smaller angles (10-15°) provide finer separation for small particles but higher pressure drops. Larger angles (15-20°) handle higher flow rates with slightly reduced fine particle efficiency.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
