The **Potato Cyclodextrin Pilot Centrifugation Refining Plant** is a specialized, small-scale facility designed to transform potato starch into high-purity cyclodextrins through advanced enzymatic conversion and rigorous refining. This pilot plant serves as a critical bridge between laboratory R&D and full-scale industrial production, allowing for the optimization of complex biochemical processes.
The core of the plant’s efficiency lies in its integrated centrifugation technology. After the enzymatic action of CGTase on the potato starch, high-performance centrifuges are employed to achieve precise solid-liquid separation. This stage is vital for removing unreacted starches, protein residues, and enzymatic impurities, resulting in a clarified solution ready for crystallization.
Engineered for versatility, the plant enables fine-tuning of parameters such as G-force, residence time, and temperature. It provides an essential platform for validating process economics and ensuring the consistent quality of alpha, beta, or gamma-cyclodextrins for use in the pharmaceutical, food, and specialty chemical industries.
