TY - JOUR ID - TI - Effect of Feed Concentration on the Production of PregelatinizedStarch in a Double Drum Dryer AU - Riyadh S. Al-Mukhtar PY - 2007 VL - 8 IS - 4 SP - 13 EP - 17 JO - Iraqi Journal of Chemical and Petroleum Engineering المجلة العراقية للهندسة الكيمياوية وهندسة النفط SN - 19974884 26180707 AB - Double drum dryer is operated for producing pregelatinized maize starches using feed starch slurries of different solids(7, 10 and13 g/100 g )content . Steam pressure (2,3,and 4 bar), the level of pool between the drums (4,7,and 10cm) , and speed of drums rotation (3,4,and 6 rpm) are varied together with the feed solids content in a practical range of values. The response of the dryer is registered by measuring several output variables, i.e. external drum temperature,product moisture content, mass flow rate.
