Processing and production factors
Starch processing operations
Step 5 Settling and Purification of starch
The term "settlings' as used here includes the whole series
of operations for separating the pure starch from soluble contaminants.
The quality of the flour produced depends to a great extent
on the proper performance of these operations, which comprise
settling in successive tanks, settling on flour tables, and
the action of modern separators. Each operation can be used
alone or carried out in different combinations. They all result
in a more or less concentrated suspension of starch in pure
water.
