ASLC Series Automated Slurry Cooker

The ASLC Series Automated Slurry Cooker combines proven technologies in the preparation and cooking of starch slurries. The system is ideal for plant trials, since it incorporates both slurry preparation components as well as the cooking and dilution system. The system is easy to install: required connections include electric, water supply, steam, mill air, cooked starch storage and drain. Dry starch can be fed from bags or super-sacks. In a single module, dry starch is suspended in water to provide a slurry of uniform and consistent concentration. The resulting slurry is fed to a Q-Jet DSI Dual Control Mixing Jet Cooker, where steam is introduced to initiate the cooking process. The slurry is held in the retention coil for sufficient time to complete the cooking process. The slurry is cooled by the addition of dilution water which effectively lowers the slurry temperature and brings the starch concentration in to the desired final range. The module, including frame work, is constructed of stainless steel. All components have been selected based on their rugged design and proven experience in the field. The system is PLC controlled and includes an interactive Operator Interface Terminal.
