Product Description
Process flow

Adopting advanced three-phase conch separation process, it can produce wheat starch and gluten by using back-road flour or through-flour from flourmills. Its main production equipment are followings: pasta machine, three-phase decanter, gravity-curved sieve, spiral extruder, annular air dryer, centrifugal sieve, cyclone station and airflow dryer.
Kneading dough & Separation:
The flour mixed with a certain percentage of water and turned into a dough. The dough is processed by the homogenizer .Then it is sent to the three-phase decanter for separation. The heavy phase material A starch/fiber, the medium phase material B starch/gluten and the light phase pentosane were then separated.
Gluten washing and dewatering:
The gluten obtained after separation separates the B starch through sieving. The separated gluten is washed several times. Then it dewatered in a screw extruder to prepare for the subsequent drying of gluten.
Gluten drying:
Dewatered gluten is dried in an annular air dryer. After the ultra-micro-mill grinding, to reach the national standards of fineness. The finished product is gluten powder.
First, the heavy phase separated by the three-phase decanter is mixed with the sieved material after separating the gluten. After sieving to remove fibers, a mixture of A starch, B starch and a small amount of C starch is obtained. It is then separated by a disk centrifuge to obtain A starch and large particles of B starch from the underflow. Finally, after washing and refining in the cyclone station and centrifugal dehydration. It enters into the airflow dryer for drying to get the commodity A starch.
The top stream separated by the disk centrifuge was small particles of B starch and a small amount of C starch. Depending on customer’s requirements, it could be washed, dehydrated and dried to obtain the finished product of B starch. Alternatively, it is mixed with pentosan, the light phase of the three-phase reclining snail for producing alcohol by fermentation.
