Abstract:
     A process for producing various sugar materials usable in fermentation from various starch materials while minimizing the amount of water employed and thus being substantially free from waste water or waste matters. The starch materials are ground and then divided into the light upper fraction and the heavy lower fraction by separation procedures such as pressure floatation. Then the lower fraction is repeatedly ground and separated and the sugar materials for fermentation are obtained by hydrolyzing the finally separated lower fraction. The separated upper fractions are usable as feeds or fertilizers. The filtrates and supernatants formed by the separation procedures are fed back into the separation step or grinding step immediately before the same and reused.
