The emphasis of this paper is on the starch plant, in order to indicate how a great portion of the wet‐milling equipment and all the dryers are used for two raw materials. The flowsheet for maize is the standard Dorr Oliver flowsheet. The primary separation of starch and gluten takes place in a merco separator. The same machine is applied for the separation of the effluent from the crude potato starch milk. The maize gluten concentration takes place in a gluten concentrator. The same machine is used for the recovery of the starch from the overflow of the first stage of starch washing when producing potato starch. The 7‐stage fibre washing system is used for both maize starch and potato starch. The starch washing systems is used for both starches too.
