Abstract of the Disclosure An improved system is described for separating and recovering starch and gluten from wheat flour dough. It includes a known trough-like vessel having a semicircular, at least partly perforated bottom, dough treatment members mounted on a rotatable shaft extending longitudinally within the vessel, means for adding wash liquid to the vessel, means for withdrawing this wash liquid together with extrac- ted starch via the perforations, means for introducing dough at one end of the vessel and means for discharging gluten at the opposite end. The novel feature relates to the treat- ment members which are in the form of rotatable radial blades having angularly inclined faces adapted to lift and advance the dough along the vessel while substantially avoiding pressing the dough against the perforated bottom. The blades also have sharpened leading edges adapted to co-operate with fixed cutter bars extending transversely across the vessel. These rotatable blades lift the dough which is cut both by a scissors action between the rotatable and fixed blades and by a single knife action involving only the rotating blade to expose a fresh surface for contact with the wash liquid.
