Starch Production Line Limited Space, Vacuum Filter Saves Floor Area

In the planning and retrofitting of potato, cassava, corn and other starch production lines, limited floor space, large equipment footprint and crowded layout are common challenges. Traditional dewatering machines are bulky and scattered, which not only take up too much production area but also increase pipeline difficulty, installation cost and later operation & maintenance pressure. For old line retrofitting, compact plants or high-rent production areas, choosing compact, space-saving and highly integrated dewatering equipment is critical to improving space utilization.

The rotary drum vacuum filter adopts an integrated compact structure, combining filtration, dewatering, discharge and cleaning functions in one unit without extra auxiliary devices, thus greatly reducing floor space. With a fully sealed stainless steel design, it features small size and clean layout, adapting to narrow spaces and modular line arrangements to significantly improve space efficiency.

This machine supports continuous operation, easy control and simple maintenance. Equipped with adjustable drum speed, continuous level control and high-efficiency dewatering system, it maintains stable and high output within a small volume. It also meets food-grade hygiene standards and runs with low energy consumption and no peak current, suitable for new and retrofitted starch lines. It saves space without reducing capacity or product quality.

1. Prioritize vacuum filters with compact and integrated structure to reduce occupied area.
2. Match the model to actual capacity: VF10 (2t/h), VF15 (4t/h), VF20 (5t/h).
3. Choose full stainless steel structure for corrosion resistance, durability and food-grade production.
4. Focus on adjustable speed and continuous level control for small size and high stability.
5. Install before the drying section to form a compact and efficient “dewatering–drying” process.
