Feed Inlet Nozzle: Temperature Range -10°C to 120°C

Component Specifications

Definition

A precision-engineered component designed to regulate and direct the flow of starch slurry into the centrifugal sieving chamber of industrial starch processing equipment. It ensures uniform distribution, prevents clogging, and maintains optimal pressure for efficient separation of starch granules from impurities through centrifugal force.

Working Principle

Operates by controlling the velocity and direction of starch slurry entry into the rotating sieve basket. The nozzle's geometry creates laminar flow to minimize turbulence, allowing centrifugal force to effectively separate starch particles based on size and density while preventing material buildup or uneven distribution.

Materials

Stainless Steel 316L (food-grade), with optional ceramic or PTFE coatings for wear resistance. Surface finish: Ra ≤ 0.8 μm to prevent bacterial adhesion.
