GRANULOMETRY AND ENERGY CONSUMPTION AS INDICATORS OF DISINTEGRATION EFFICIENCY IN A HAMMER MILL ADAPTED TO EXTRACTING ARROWROOT STARCH (Maranta arundinacea) IN COMPARISON TO STARCH EXTRACTION FROM CASSAVA

Abstract: The commercial sector of starch extraction has fully automated plants with a minimum scale of 200 ton.day-1 , which extracts starch from maize and cassava in Brazil. Although these starches are commodities, the market demands starches with special properties obtained without chemical modifications. A higher-priced starch can compensate for small-scale extraction, as in the case of arrowroot starch, which would correspond to an alternative income for the producer. As a small-scale equipment was not available in… Show more

“…Grinding and mechanochemical processes are very energy-intensive, therefore, even minor optimization of these processes may have substantial economic effects [27][28][29][30]. Today, energy efficiency for mechanical disordering of starch is one of relevant questions [31].…”

“…The rotary sieve shown in Figure 1 was mounted in the line with the hammer mill (a) (Branco et al, 2019) just after the disintegration process (b). The sieve consists of a hexagonal frame (c) covered by an 80 mesh (180 µm) nylon mesh that rotates counterclockwise around the axis.…”

“…The raw material was disintegrated in the hammer mill and the mass was loaded at a rate of 0.047 kg.s -1 (2.86 kg.min -1 ) (Branco et al, 2019) at the inlet of the rotating screen. In continuous feeding, the chute collected the water and starch suspension, while the mass extracted by the water jet was loaded as fibrous bagasse residue, as shown in Figure 2A, the outlet chute (a) and Figure 2B.…”
