Method for obtaining starch and vegetable water from root crops, comprising of grinding or shredding the crops and separating the starch and vegetable water thereby released. Separation takes place in at least three separation stages, namely a first stage to which the ground crops are supplied and fibers and vegetable water are discharged on the one hand and a suspension of starch in substantially vegetable water on the other, a second stage to which are fed the suspension separated in the first stage and a portion of the discharge washing liquid from a third stage, to which third stage are further added a starch suspension coming from the second stage and clean water and wherein the second stage is a displacement stage in which the vegetable water in the added suspension is substantially displaced by discharge washing liquid from the third stage. <IMAGE> |
