Standard banana and taro starch production line

One Introduction to banana taro:

Bashao taro, also known as dry lotus root, banana lotus root, and ginger taro, is a plant of the genus Musa in the family Fabaceae. Banana taro starch granules have a large particle size, low gelatinization temperature, good paste transparency, high chain starch content, good film-forming properties, and a high molecular weight, making them suitable for practical applications. Banana taro has characteristics such as high fiber content, high pectin content, and fast starch precipitation.

II Processing principle of banana and taro starch:

The production process of banana taro starch is a physical separation process, which separates the starch in banana taro raw materials from substances such as cellulose, protein, and inorganic matter. In the production process, based on the properties of starch being insoluble in cold water and having a specific gravity greater than water, water and mechanical equipment are used to separate starch from the water suspension, thereby achieving the goal of recovering starch.

III Processing process of banana and taro starch:

The starch production line of Gudewei Potato Industry uses wet processing technology for starch production. The entire process is technically mature, with advanced equipment, scientific configuration, and reasonable technology. The starch production process is designed in six stages: cleaning, crushing, screening, concentration and refining, dehydration, and drying. Tebie is a milling machine using Gudewei Potato Industry's curved mesh extrusion type in the crushing and screening section. Through a unique process of multi-stage crushing, multi-stage filtration, and multi-stage extrusion, the crushed and filtered product is in the form of silk, with advantages such as low energy consumption, high starch extraction rate, and good starch quality, which improves the production efficiency and starch extraction rate of the production line.

4 Applicable objects and characteristics:

Suitable for large-scale starch processing manufacturers and customers using banana taro as raw material, this process runs automatically from the entire process of raw material cleaning, crushing, starch extraction, fine filtration, sand removal, concentration, refining, dehydration, drying, etc., with a high degree of equipment automation. The difference between standard banana and taro starch processing equipment and economic type is that: 1. In terms of equipment configuration, the standard type is more complete than the economic type, with higher equipment configuration. The concentration and refining section adopts 19-21 level cyclone flow, and the starch extraction quality is higher; 2. In terms of equipment materials: Standard equipment configurations often use stainless steel materials, which have strong overall integrity; 3. In terms of processing capability, the standard type has stronger processing capability than the economic type and is suitable for standardized starch production and manufacturing enterprises.
