Method for continuous recovery of starch from grain wherein the grain is dry milled and the flour obtained after separation of husk is mixed with water and the mixture obtained is homogenized. Directly after homogenization without intervening treatment steps the homogenized suspension is separated in a first decanter centrifugal step into a lighter fraction containing in additon to grains, solids, and fat also minor starch particles, which is removed from the process for use as feed and a heavier fraction comprising major starch particles. Said latter fraction is concentrated in a second decanter centrifugal step to a suspension having a solids content ranging from 40 to 60 %, which constitutes the final product of the process. |
