STEADO Agitators for Starch Industry Applications
STEADO offers a range of precision-engineered agitators designed specifically for the starch industry, optimizing processes such as fiber washing, germ separation, and gluten recovery from raw materials like maize, wheat, and potatoes. Our agitators ensure efficient mixing, consistent product quality, and operational energy savings.

Key Features

Tailored Design for Starch Applications

Each agitator is custom-built to match the unique geometry and processing demands of individual tanks, ensuring optimal mixing and homogenization at every stage.
Variable speed drives enable precise control of agitation intensity based on viscosity and material behavior during the starch extraction process.

Material of Construction

Constructed using high-quality stainless steel (SS304/SS316), STEADO agitators offer durability, corrosion resistance, and compatibility with food-grade operations.
Optional special surface finishes and internal polishing are available to meet stringent hygiene standards in food processing.

Energy-Efficient Agitation

Hydrofoil impellers are used to promote low-turbulence, high-flow mixing with minimal power consumption—ideal for delicate starch suspensions.
These impellers optimize energy usage while maintaining gentle, uniform flow patterns to protect product integrity.

Process-Specific Configurations

Our agitators feature impeller designs tailored to the demands of each process stage, ensuring efficient slurry homogenization, suspension of solids, and prevention of sedimentation.
They are engineered to eliminate dead zones and maintain stable, consistent mixing throughout the tank, especially in large-capacity operations.

High-Capacity Mixing Capabilities

STEADO agitators support both batch and continuous production systems and are suitable for various tank sizes, from small process vessels to large fermentation and wash tanks.
Optional features include heating or cooling jackets to maintain ideal process temperatures for enzyme reactions and other sensitive stages in starch production.

With STEADO’s advanced agitator technology, starch manufacturers benefit from precision, efficiency, and consistency, backed by years of engineering excellence and proven industry results.

Applications & Process Aspects

Agitator Solutions by STEADO for Starch Processing Stages

Fiber Wash Tank: The fiber wash tank plays a vital role in separating fibrous material from the starch slurry. STEADO agitators ensure consistent, gentle mixing that keeps fibers suspended, preventing settling and clogging. Equipped with high-flow, low-shear impellers, our agitators provide uniform flow throughout the tank, delivering effective washing while preserving starch integrity.

Pinmill Intermediate Tank: Following the milling process, starch slurry enters the pinmill intermediate tank for stabilization. STEADO agitators maintain homogeneous mixing to prevent sedimentation and ensure slurry consistency for the next separation phase. Our agitators offer controlled, gentle agitation that prepares the slurry efficiently for downstream processing.

Germ Wash Tank: Germ separation requires the mixture to remain well-suspended for optimal efficiency. STEADO employs axial flow impellers that create strong, yet gentle mixing, ensuring germs stay suspended without compromising starch quality. This design improves separation performance, reduces process times, and increases product purity.

Grinder Tank: The grinder tank is responsible for refining starch slurry. Consistent mixing is crucial to support the grinding process. STEADO agitators feature multi-stage mixing components that promote continuous suspension, preventing lump formation and ensuring uniform particle distribution.

Light Gluten Tank:  In the light gluten tank, separating gluten from starch requires controlled, laminar flow. STEADO agitators use low-shear impellers that minimize product damage while keeping both gluten and starch in suspension. This results in higher recovery efficiency and maintains the quality of both components.

STEADO’s application-specific agitators are engineered to enhance every stage of the starch production process—from separation and homogenization to product refinement and recovery—ensuring process reliability, consistency, and energy efficiency.

Benefits of STEADO Agitators for Starch Processing

Optimal Process Control: STEADO agitators are engineered to offer precise mixing control, ensuring accuracy and efficiency across all stages of starch processing—from fiber washing to gluten recovery.

Reduced Energy Consumption: Our high-efficiency impellers combined with variable speed drives significantly lower power usage without compromising mixing performance, resulting in reduced operational costs.

Consistent Product Quality: By enabling uniform slurry mixing, STEADO agitators ensure that starch, fiber, germ, and gluten are processed evenly—delivering consistent and high-quality output.

Durability & Hygiene: Constructed from food-grade stainless steel (SS304/SS316), our agitators are built for long-term performance and compliance with stringent hygiene standards essential for the starch industry.
