To feed the rasps properly the roots are chopped into pieces
of 3 - 5cm. The rasps are fed evenly for steady flow throughout the rest of the plant. With our high-speed rashers, rasping is a one-pass operation for us. All the tuber cells are well opened to release the starch granules.

Food Grade sulphur dioxide

We use high quality food grade sulphur dioxide gas to prevent discoloration and also to retard bacterial growth. Sufficient sulpher is added to keep the slurry and pulp a light color. 2/3rd is added during extraction and 1/3rd in the refining station. The dosage depends on actual conditions. Proper dosage applied by us leaves a few ppm residual SO2 in the starch.The secondary pipes are made of copper and they restrict bacterial growth. Since the diluted slurry is an excellent substrate for most microbes colonising the interior walls of pipes and machines, our well trained operators and supervisors ensure that this does not happen and ensure nozzles are not clogged. They also make sure that no change occurs in flow resistance and design values are sustained through out.
