Feed Inlet Nozzle Component – Food Manufacturing

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.

Technical Parameters

Diameter 50-200 mm
Flow Rate 5-50 m³/h
Connection Type Flanged (ISO 2852)
Pressure Rating 0.5-2.0 bar
Temperature Range -10°C to 120°C

Standards

ISO 2852, DIN 11851, FDA CFR 21

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the feed inlet nozzle affect starch separation efficiency?

The nozzle controls slurry entry velocity and distribution pattern. Proper design prevents turbulence that could disrupt the centrifugal separation process, ensuring consistent particle separation and higher starch purity.

What maintenance is required for starch feed nozzles?

Regular inspection for wear, cleaning to prevent biofilm formation, and checking for alignment issues. Nozzles should be cleaned with food-grade sanitizers after each production cycle.
