A New Method For Sago/Starch Processing Technology In Wet Processes

Abstract: ABSTRACT The developed system can perform in extraction of starch from starch food like tapioca and potato without using of input water. The minimum requirement of water for processing, is getting from starch raw material its self. The system has 100% pollution free operation and 2/3 power saving equipment compare with the existing plants. The process as follows, The tuBers are feed in ETP Plant bed, here the washing process start, then tubers are carried by screw conveyer to skin removing zone, here scraping the outer layer(skin) of tuber by rollers in the peeling machine. The peeled tubers are conveyed by the pipe conveyer to the Grinding Machine. Uncut peeled tubers are entered into the entry portion of Grinding IVIachine ,then its getting a grinding, which convert into slurry form. The slurry flows to the vibration chamber .here the milk and bulb are separated by different type of screens .The milk is feed into settling tank, after sedimentation process, starch and effluent are separated.

Specification

FIELD OF THE INVENTION:
The invention relates to extraction of starch (particles/materials) from such as tapioca, Potato, Wheat, Maize, etc without adding/input of water.
The developed system can perform in extraction of starch from starch food like tapioca and potato without using of input water for extraction. The minimum requirement of water for processing, is getting from starch raw material its self. The system has 100% pollution free operation and 2/3 power saving equipment in the existing plants. The existing SAGO/Starch units are required water is (1:5.5) to (grind) the raw material. One ton of SAGO/Starch to produce more than 40,000 liters of effluents
The waste water is highly. pollutant and they are posing problems to environment. The newly developed system will solve the problem of pollution as it does not use water form outside input.
This will completely replace the present technology equipment..
STATE OF THE ART:
The present methods of starch processing technology consists as following equipments.
A. Washing Machine.
B. Peeling Machine.
0. Rasping Machine.
D. Starch extraction by shaking kettle.
E. Cyclone separation/drying unit.
F. Drying Yard.
The above systems/machines are using huge quantity of water from beginning to end of each processes /operation. Present development are based on this technology for improvement on this structures/process.
OBJECT OF THE INVENTION
The above systems-operations generate huge quantity of effluent for the process of starch extraction and it exist huge pollution to environment and very big problem to governing bodies/ societies / Govt.
The newly developed system will solve the problem of pollution as it does not use water from outside input.

DESCRIPTION:
Now the invention/process will be described with reference to the Accompanying
drawing sheets-1,2,3,4 .
Reference to the drawing sheet - 1.
The tubers are feed in ETP(11) Plant bed(12), here the washing process start, then tuber(T) are carried by screw conveyer to skin removing zone, here scraping the outer layer of tuber has been removed by rollers(e) in the peeling machine(13).
The peeled tuber are conveyed by shacking the pipe{14) to the Grinding l\/lachine(15). Uncut tubers are entered into the entry portion ,then its getting in grinding into slurry form. The slurry(16) flows to the vibration chamber{17) ,here the milk(23) and bulb(19) are separated by different type screen(18).
The milk(23) feed into settling tank{22), after the sedimentation process, starch and effluent are separated. Input size of material may be as natural (1.5 inch-2.0 inch dia and length may vary 4.5inch to Q.Oinch)
Reference to the drawing sheet - 2.
The tubers(T) are put into water,in front of screw conveyer, here the tubers are stirred by screw and carry forward, in upward to skin removing zone, where rough surfaced rollers(e) are scarping the skin surface of tubers(T).
The tubers reach the top end of the peeling machine(13), its come out to the pipe conveyer(14) inlet/entry port. The pipe conveyer transport the peeled tubers to grinding machine(15) inlet port.
Reference to the drawing sheet - 3.
The figure.3 shows the arrangement of the two threaded different dia cylinders, (a) is the larger Dia Cylinder which is positioned in outer with the thread inside and (b) is the smaller Dia Cylinder is positioned inside in the larger Dia Cylinder with outer surface .

1
Both the cylinders are meshed in threaded portion with minimum clearance for fine grinding operations.
For grinding operation ,both the cylinders are uniformly rotated. The materials are fed in to inlet section in between these threaded cylinder portion(c ).
Inlet/input material gets first crushing with very heavy pressure due to size of the material. Afterwards the crushing actions are uniform in sequential manner. In second rotation, the first crushed particle goes to second crushing point. Then the second crushed particle goes third crushing point in third rotation. The first crushed particle comes to the second crushing point.
These cycle/process/mechanism is happened up to the outlet of the cylinder. The direction of the rotation of the cylinders may change the material flow inlet and outlet. Material flow speed will be decided by the difference between the larger and smaller dia cylinders threaded surface speeds. Reference to the drawing sheet - 4.
The grinded tapioca slurry(16) are feed into the (±)200/250/350 micron nylon mesh screen(18) with V. $1 ratio of water in vibrating condition of the chamber(17). Normally the starch particles are soluble in water. Most ofthe starch cells are disturbed in heavy vibration. The 99% of starch, has removed by this system.
The starch removed slurry(waste)(19) are feed into the vacuum bed(20), the vacuum system, suck the moisture from slurry(19) . The moisture( starch milk/water) is retained in the separation tank(21). The retained milk / water is drained to collecting tank.
