Corn starch processing

Corn Starch Process Design

Corn Steeping Section
Corn Steeping Section generally adopts semi-continuous counter-current steeping process with 8-12 tanks. Steeping time would be last about 48 to 56 hours according to the contents of corn varieties, quality and moisture.
Corn Degerming Section
Corn Degerming section adopts two-stages DEGERMING MILL to break and two-stages cyclone to degerm.
Fine Mill and Fibre Separation Section
Fine Mill adopts PIN MILL to separate the starch from the fibre.
Starch Separation and Gluten Concentration Section
Huatai Centrifugal Separator can be used in this section according to different capacities to separate the starch and gluten, also you can adopt the process method such as first preconcentration, then separation and later middle concentration. Also about the refined starch section, we use MULTI-STAGES WASHING CYCLONE. In gluten concentration section. CENTRIFUGAL SEPARATOR can be used according to different capacities. Usually, for gluten dewatering, we use VACUUM FILTER or frame type filter in the section.
 Starch Dewatering and Drying Section
First, we use siphon type scrape centrifuge for dewatering and then use NEGATIVE PRESSURE FLASH DRYER to control the moisture of the final product automatically.
Corn Steeping Solution Evaporating Section
We would like to use fresh steam or waste heating as heating energy in the corn steeping solution evaporation section. Then make use of MULTI-EFFECT EVAPORATOR to evaporate. All these can be designed differently depends on the customers' requirement. The steeping solution after concentration can be offered for sale directly, if not, it also can be mixed into the fiber to be dried as fiber feed with protein.
Drying and Packing Section
In this section, usually, we take the TUBULAR BUNDLE DRYER to dewater the moisture in fiber, germ and protein powder.

Best Sales Service

Before sales, we can help the buyers in planning the general plan.
Generally, we guarantee all equipment are completely new and unsed, and under normal operating conditions the warranty period would be 12 months after installation or 18 months from the date of shipments whichever comes first.
Our equipment would be shipped in containers. Equipment with too large size for containerized shipment would be covered and protected from seawater damage.
We can send experienced and qualified engineers to the buyers site for the supervision of equipment installation and commissioning. And after the plant had been successfully commissioned, our engineer will stay to train the buyers plant personnel in process operations and equipment maintenance by buyers request.
