The function of potato chopper in starch equipment is to crush potatoes to facilitate the subsequent starch extraction process.
Potato chopper, also called crusher, is a key equipment in potato starch production line. Its main function is to break potatoes into powder to facilitate the extraction of starch. This crushing process is achieved through mechanical force. After the potatoes are fed into the crusher, they are repeatedly struck and collided by the high-speed rotating blades and fixed tooth plates, causing the potatoes to be broken into fine particles. This breaking method helps cells rupture, thereby releasing starch granules, which facilitates subsequent starch extraction.
The design and material selection of the crusher are also very important. For example, the use of high-carbon alloy steel blades ensures the crushing effect and the durability of the equipment. At the same time, the safety device is designed to prevent knife chewing accidents and improve the safety and reliability of the entire equipment. In addition, the crusher is also equipped with a dust suction device, which reduces dust pollution and further optimizes the working environment.
In summary, the potato chopper plays a vital role in the potato starch production process. Through efficient crushing operations, it lays the foundation for subsequent starch extraction and quality assurance.
