Operation of starch separators

Starch separators are used to separate water from organic starch by means of gravitational forces. Unlike light liquids and organic fats and oils, starch is heavier than water and therefore settles to the bottom of the tank. Separators are used to treat water containing starch produced after peeling potatoes. Water containing dirt (sand, earth) after washing whole potatoes is discharged into the sewerage system via a settling tank only, bypassing the separator.

Our solutions – your benefits – AQUAFIX polyethylene starch separators

Made of polyethylene, the tanks are used for the treatment of organic starch wastewater. They are rectangular in shape with rounded edges. The combination of the high quality of the material, its thickness and optimised manufacturing processes guarantees high stability and durability. Depending on the model, the starch separators have one or two manholes, which, thanks to their diameter, allow easy access to the inside of the tank for cleaning and maintenance. All tanks are fitted with a manhole cover made of polyethylene in class A 15 as standard.

  • Lightweight, monolithic construction and easy installation
  • Durable corrosion-resistant material
  • Manhole extension is possible
  • Wall thickness 10 mm
  • Large manholes – easy maintenance

Construction of AQUAFIX PE starch separators

The starch separators have a deflector on the inlet and a special seal to prevent the tank manhole from leaking and giving off unpleasant odours. All models are designed to be easily transported by forklift truck and can be moved using special handles. 1000 mm high system extensions can be used for the manhole cover of the separator, which can be cut to any desired height.

Application areas of AQUAFIX PE starch separators

Starch separators are lightweight units installed in buildings as free-standing tanks and in floor or underfloor recesses. They are used in areas where one of the by-products of the processing or production process is starch. These include:
