PerMix high shear mixers are an excellent solution for capturing potato byproducts and maximizing starch release from fines. These mixers are designed to create intense shear forces that break down particles, enhance surface area, and facilitate the release of starch granules effectively. Here’s how they can help in your reclaim system:

1. Enhanced Starch Recovery

PerMix high shear mixers can process potato fines by subjecting them to intense mixing and particle size reduction. This action dislodges and releases starch that might still be trapped in the fine particles, increasing the overall starch yield.

2. Efficient Mixing & Homogenization

The high-speed rotor-stator design ensures that the fines are uniformly processed, preventing clumping or uneven treatment. This results in a consistent flow of starch-rich slurry that can be seamlessly integrated back into your reclaim system.

3. Customizable Shear Levels

PerMix high shear mixers allow for adjustable shear intensity, ensuring the optimal level of force is applied to extract starch without over-processing the product or damaging its quality.

4. Continuous Operation

For reclaim systems that require high throughput, PerMix offers inline high shear mixers that can operate continuously, allowing the processed slurry to be directly pumped back into the system without the need for batch processing. This improves process efficiency and reduces downtime.

5. Sanitary Design

PerMix high shear mixers are constructed with sanitary, food-grade materials like 316L stainless steel, making them ideal for applications in food production. They are easy to clean, maintain, and comply with strict food safety standards.

6. Integration into Reclaim Systems

PerMix high shear mixers are versatile and can be integrated with existing reclaim systems. They can be installed inline with your piping to process fines directly as they flow, or as part of a batch setup if preferred.

7. Cost-Effective Solution

Using a PerMix high shear mixer to recover additional starch can significantly reduce waste, improve efficiency, and enhance profitability. By reclaiming starch from byproducts, you reduce the need for additional raw material and improve resource utilization.

Optional Features

  • CIP (Clean-in-Place) Systems: For easy cleaning and maintenance.
  • Temperature Control: Ensures optimal processing conditions for starch release.
  • Vacuum Integration: If required for specific applications, vacuum can assist in the process.
