AWEC Series Automatic Wet End Starch Cooker

The AWEC Series Automatic Wet End Starch Cooker from ProFlow Inc represents the ultimate refinement in starch cooking technology. With rugged field-tested components and closed loop controls, the units maintain consistent product delivery despite fluctuations in steam or water supply. This virtually eliminates costly starch overfeeds and underfeeds that can waste other high cost additives downstream. The net result – lower process variability, better quality paper and improved operating costs.

Features and Benefits:

Convenience – operator friendly controls allow direct setting of starch concentrations, eliminating the potential for errors caused by manual calculations and frequent adjustments.

Process Stability – closed loop controls maintain set concentrations throughout the run – lower process variability – regardless of fluctuations in steam or water supply. Uniform starch concentrations allows optimization of application rates.

Control – PLC based control system integrates with the mills DCS. Set starch concentration, monitor and control remotely – or locally from the Operator Interface Terminal.

Dependability – rugged components, proven designs and decades of experience in building critical fluid handling systems for the paper industry ensure trouble free operation and maximum up time. All systems use Waukesha ECP pumps and the Q-JET Dual Control Mixing Jet Cooker.

Starch Options – the system is equally efficient in cooking a variety of starches – corn, potato, as well as tapioca, wheat, waxy maize and others.
