FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to separation of a suspension with washing of heavy component and can be used in food, chemical and other industries. Multi-cyclone apparatus consists of multi-cyclones with pipes for discharging liquid and condensed products, forming separation stage for initial product - suspension into condensed product, containing mainly a heavy component, and liquid product, mainly containing a light component - impurities, pumps, connecting pipelines, forming with multi-cyclones and pumps a single structure, pipe for feeding clean water required for washing heavy component. Each separation stage consists of three multi-cyclones with cross circuit for separating product into liquid and dense products. Upper product of third stage at counterflow circuit is supplied to input of second stage. Upper product of second stage is supplied to input of first stage, and upper product of first stage is output product containing light impurities and soluble substances. Dense product of third stage is output product containing heavy component - washed starch.

EFFECT: high quality of heavy component.
