6 tips for starting a potato starch processing plant
Potato starch is cleaned and peeled from potatoes, crushed to extract the slurry inside, and then dried and crushed to obtain delicate potato starch. If you start a potato starch factory, here are 6 points that we need to know in advance.
1. potato starch extraction process
Weighing → stone removal → potato washing → crushing → slag slurry separation → sand removal → dehydration → refining → dehydration → drying → packaging → storage
To start the potato starch business, you must first be familiar with the starch extraction process in order to better screen equipment. （reading more: potato starch processing）
2. potato starch application
Starch can be directly used in the textile industry, paper industry, and food processing industry. Potato starch as an adhesive, texturing agent and filler is also widely used in the pharmaceutical, textile, wood processing and paper industries, and oil drilling companies also use it to clean boreholes.
Determine the market that potato starch will face, we can pay extra attention to the material of the equipment when choosing starch processing equipment, whether it is necessary to use food-grade stainless steel materials.
3. potato starch production line
The construction of potato starch production line needs to be based on the size of our plant and land. It is necessary to find a professional engineer to design the production line, so as to meet our product requirements and make full use of our existing factory buildings or land.
4. Potato processing waste disposal
Waste water and potato skins are the main waste generated during the processing of potato starch.
Potato skins and other "zero-value" waste generated during processing are rich in starch, which can be dissolved and fermented to produce fuel-grade ethanol. 44,000 tons of processing waste can produce 4-5 million liters of ethanol, which is a good thing.
If the wastewater discharge requirements are not high, it can be discharged directly. However, in order to protect the environment, the wastewater from potato starch processing should be treated by sedimentation, neutralization and adsorption, and more than 80% of the nutrients in the wastewater should be intercepted for the production of animal feed additives or fermentation to produce biogas, turning harm into profit and comprehensive utilization.
5. potato starch processing machine
The potato starch processing equipment can be selected according to what we have said above, one can be selected according to the design, and at the same time we can also choose the material of the equipment, you can choose stainless steel or stainless iron. In this way, we can manage the budget reasonably.
6. Starch processing equipment manufacturers
How to choose a reliable starch equipment manufacturer? First of all, the manufacturer should have the ability to design a starch factory, and secondly, it can provide a variety of equipment for us to choose from, and have high-quality after-sales service.
Henan Yide, with the most advanced design qualification in China, has customers all over the world, and is a leading manufacturer of milling equipment processing in China.
