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
