The potato starch paste pump is a kind of pump used for transporting potato starch paste. Here is some information about it:
Features:
Adaptability to High Viscosity: Potato starch paste has relatively high viscosity. This pump can effectively transport high-viscosity materials, ensuring the stable flow of materials in the pipeline and being less likely to get clogged or have poor flow conditions.
Gentle Transportation: With a special impeller design and a relatively low rotational speed, it can achieve gentle transportation of the starch paste, reducing the damage to the structure of starch granules and ensuring that the quality of the starch remains unaffected.
Good Sealing Performance: To prevent the leakage of starch paste, the pump body usually has good sealing performance. Mechanical seals or packing seals and other methods are adopted to ensure that there is no leakage during the long-term operation process, reducing material waste and environmental pollution.
Easy to Clean: The internal structure of the pump is relatively simple, and it is easy to disassemble and assemble, which facilitates thorough cleaning of the inside of the pump body after use, avoiding the breeding of bacteria by the residual starch paste or affecting the next use.
Application Scenarios:
Food Processing Industry: In the production process of potato starch, from the extraction and refining of starch to the packaging of finished products, the starch paste pump plays an important role. For example, it transports the starch paste from the extraction equipment to the refining equipment or from the storage tank to the packaging production line. In addition, in some food processing that uses potato starch as a raw material, such as making vermicelli, bean threads, potato chips, etc., the starch paste pump is also needed to transport the raw materials.
Chemical Industry: Besides the food field, the potato starch paste pump also has certain applications in the chemical industry. For example, in the production process of some chemical products with starch as the basic raw material, it is necessary to transport the starch paste to equipment such as reaction kettles and evaporators for further processing.
Pharmaceutical Industry: In the pharmaceutical industry, potato starch is often used as a filler or binder for tablets, capsules and other drugs. The starch paste pump can be used to transport the starch paste to pharmaceutical equipment to ensure the smooth progress of the drug production process.
Common Types:
Screw Pump: The screw pump is a common type of potato starch paste pump. It promotes the flow of starch paste in the pump body through the rotation of the screw. The screw pump has the advantages of stable flow, high pressure and strong self-priming ability, and can adapt to the transportation of materials with relatively high viscosity. Its working principle is to form a sealed cavity by using the gap between the screw and the pump casing. As the screw rotates, the sealed cavity continuously moves forward, thus realizing the continuous transportation of materials.
Gear Pump: The gear pump is also a pump type suitable for transporting potato starch paste. It consists of a pair of intermeshing gears. When the gears rotate, the volume between the gear teeth changes, thus realizing the suction and discharge of the starch paste. The gear pump has the advantages of simple structure, small size and light weight, but its delivery pressure is relatively low and it is suitable for transporting starch paste with medium and low viscosity.
Peristaltic Pump: The peristaltic pump transports materials by squeezing elastic hoses with rollers. When transporting potato starch paste, it has good sealing performance and gentle transportation characteristics, and can avoid the shearing and damage to the starch paste. The advantages of the peristaltic pump are that it can precisely control the flow and is easy to clean and maintain, but its delivery pressure is relatively low and it is suitable for the transportation needs of small flow and low pressure.
