Cassava Starch Vacuum Filter Operation Instructions

Cassava starch vacuum dehydration equipment is a relatively reliable, continuously operating solid-liquid separation device developed in recent years. It is widely used in the dehydration of starch slurries during the production of potato, sweet potato, corn, and other starches.

 

1. During operation, the filter cloth must be regularly and rigorously cleaned according to actual conditions to maintain proper filtration performance. If the machine is shut down, the filter cloth must be cleaned and inspected for damage, as this can result in incomplete filtration and separation or allow powder to enter other parts, causing blockage.

 

2. After each operation, the machine must be shut down, the vacuum pump turned off, and any remaining starch on the drum must be cleaned to prevent the scraper from dragging the filter cloth downward and scratching it. After cleaning the drum, the starch slurry should be properly placed in the storage hopper to prevent starch sedimentation and damage to the agitator, ensuring ease of use for the next production run.

 

3. The seal of the drum shaft of the cassava starch vacuum dehydrator should be lubricated daily to maintain proper sealing and lubrication.

 

4. When starting the cassava starch vacuum dehydrator, always separate the main motor and vacuum pump motor. Pay attention to the starting sequence and avoid reverse operation. Reversing the start sequence may cause starch to be sucked into the motor, causing damage to the equipment.

 

5. The mechanical oil level in the reducer of the cassava starch vacuum dehydrator should not be too high. New equipment should have the internal oil drained and cleaned with diesel within one week of use. After replacing the new oil, the oil and cleaning frequency should be maintained every six months.
