Wedge screen centrifuge basket is ideal for native and modified starches such as corn, wheat, potato, rice, tapioca, etc. It reduces drying time by achieving the lowest residual moisture, and is ideal for raw and modified starches such as corn, wheat, potato, rice, tapioca, etc. It reduces the water content more than any other type of centrifuge.

The starch is extracted by centrifugal sieving. The pulp is placed on a rotating sieve which is designed in such a way that starch can pass but fibers cannot. During the sieving process, water is added to wash the maximum amount of starch out of the pulp.
