ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for cooking a starch solution and then dispensing that cooked starch solution to a commercial laundry washer provides a vessel with an interior surrounded by a wall for holding a volume of liquid, a water supply inlet for supplying water to the vessel interior, an opening for adding dry starch to the vessel interior, and a steam supply inlet for adding steam to the vessel interior so that the volume of liquid within the vessel can be heated. A level controller controls the level of fluid within the vessel in between the minimum and maximum levels. A recirculation flow line has an inlet and outlet that each communicate with the vessel interior. A gear pump mounted in the recirculation flow line pumps fluid from the inlet to the outlet in a recirculating fashion, the pump having a geared portion that breaks up starch lumps flowing in the recirculation flow line. A discharge flow line transmits the heated starch solution from the vessel interior to the commercial laundry washer and likewise provides a gear pump for breaking up starch lumps that flow through the discharge flow line.
