APPARATUS FOR THE CONTINUOUS PREPARATION OF A STARCH SLURRY

摘要

An apparatus for continuously preparing starch milk is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a dosing means for supplying starch to a homogenizing tank. The homogenizing tank has an upper in-flow hopper provided with a flushing means, an agitating means, and a lower section. The dosing means has an outlet that opens into the upper in-flow hopper. A fall pipe is disposed between the outlet of the upper in-flow hopper and the lower section. The apparatus requires less energy than prior art apparatus and is not prone to operational disruptions as a result of variations in the starch milk concentration.
