Abstract
Surface water, potato pieces and starch particles are removed from raw potato slices as they are transferred from a water bath to a cooker on a perforate conveyor belt. Streams of air against the topside of the belt place the slices in turbulent motion and air suction through a grid on the bottom side of the belt extracts water and starch particles into a suction stream from which the particles are separated.
