The starch milk from the fine extractor is pumped into a two-stage separator for impurity
removal from the protein. After passing to a second dewatering
machine, the starch milk has the starch content up to 18–20_
Baume´ . Then, the concentrated starch milk is pumped into dehydration
horizontal centrifuges (DHC) to remove water before
