- Typical throughput
- For this class of equipment, throughput can range from 500 kg/hr to several tonnes/hr of wet material, depending on the specific press design and material consistency.
- Power supply
- Units of this type commonly require a 3-phase industrial power supply, typically 400V, 50Hz, with motor ratings varying based on capacity.
- Construction material
- Components in contact with product are typically stainless steel (e.g., 304 or 316) to ensure hygiene and corrosion resistance, especially in food processing applications.
- Footprint
- The overall footprint for a waste press with starch recovery can vary significantly, often requiring several square metres, plus space for access and maintenance.
- Starch recovery efficiency
- Starch recovery systems are designed to achieve high recovery rates, typically above 90%, depending on the feed material and system configuration.
- Moisture content of pressed cake
- The dewatered cake typically has a moisture content reduced to 60-80%, significantly lowering disposal costs.
