Nozzle Separators for Starch Recovery
Nozzle separators are used for washing and concentrating the crude starch as well as for gluten thickening.
Our nozzle separators are of course CIP-capable, on-top they are designed for maximum capacity, lowest energy consumption and maximum availability. The optional direct drive makes for higher capacities with the same energy input, lower noise level, smaller footprint as well as reduced service costs due to less parts and easy maintenance.
Furthermore, replacing a nozzle is only a matter of minutes as they are easily accessible and replaceable through a duct from the outside: a dismantling of the hood or the bowl is not necessary.
Features & Benefits
- Excellent process water minimizing fresh water consumption
- Continuous and stable feed to the HC unit for uncomplicated washing
- Maximum performance with minimum maintenance
- No starch quality loss because of closed feed and discharge (no oxidation of starch possible)
- Low energy consumption because of modern drive concepts and special nozzle configuration
- CIP cleaning at operating speed
- No additional pumps for the liquid phase because of internal centripetal pump
- Fast and easy maintenance due to excellent access to the nozzles
Extra advantages of separators with direct drive:
- Higher capacity with same energy input
- Reduced service costs (no gearbox, coupling replacement is direct and simple)
- Noise level is comparably low
- Motor or coupling failure cannot cause damage
- No belt tensioning
- Only very little space required due to small footprint
Capacity
Rated capacity feed: from 40 up to 500 m³/hDownloads

A new recipe for indulgence
What if your favorite chocolate didn’t require cocoa beans and your coffee was locally produced? As climate disruption, price hikes and ethical concerns hit two of our most beloved indulgences, scientists are reimagining how we produce them – using microbes, not monocultures. The goal: preserve the flavor and properties of coffee and chocolate while minimizing carbon emissions and improving food resilience.
Fueling the circular economy in shipping
Ports now compete not just on logistics, but on sustainability. At Greece’s Piraeus port, an advanced processing and recovery facility recycles ship waste oil into fuel.

Closing the loop: key lessons for breweries from OeTTINGER
The 2022 CO2 shortage forced breweries to review their dependency on global supply chains. Many were forced to close, unable to carbonate their products. At its breweries in Germany, OeTTINGER GETRÄNKE is turning its own CO2 into a powerful lever for independence and sustainability – with the help of CO2 recovery technology from GEA.
