Savings of starch with GAW starch preparation
Rising costs for starch are a growing issue and cost factor for paper and board manufacturers worldwide.
The proven system for the preparation of starch from GAW technologies helps to save costs. It scores with its small and compact design. The continuous mode of operation guarantees stable operating conditions compared to batch production by avoiding permanent sequences of starting and emptying. The system is also characterized by the continuous steam & hot water demand without peaks, offering another benefit.
The classic enzymatic process has been tested and proven in hundreds of references and scores with rock-solid technology and as the most sustainable and economical solution. This is particularly important in times of rising raw material prices.
Due to the special process design a customized starch size with the required viscosity and molar mass distribution can be created with minimum waste water and starch losses. Ongoing R&D will provide an option to upgrade to a new, promising cavitation process in the near future. A team of technology experts cares for worldwide design and realization of greenfield and advanced retrofit projects.
Advantages include:
- Fast ROI
- Most sustainable concept
- No starch losses during the process
- Wastewater-free operation through the circuit line
- Adjustable parameters und possibilities to influence the starch quality
- Constant starch quality, solid content and viscosity
- The system fully automatically adapts to the starch consumption (avoiding stop & go operation)
- Optional heat recovery system to save 50% of steam in the cooking step
- A mobile rental unit is available for industrial scale trial runs
