Starch is a polymer of
glucose found in most plants. Starch is
organised in 1-140 µm granules in
plants. Starch is produced from various
raw materials like maize, cassava/tapioca
roots, potatoes, wheat, rice etc. The technology
or the manufacturing process of starch differs
according to the raw material used. One
of the highlighted aspect of starch processing
/ extraction is that starch is produced
according to the requirement of the end
users depending upon changing reaction condition
(Temp, pH2 additives) and strict process
control methods. Customized or specially
developed starch is popularly known as Modified
starch. This is superior quality starch
applicable for varied industrial usages.

To facilitate these
aspects of starch extraction or processing,
we design & develop starch processing
equipment & starch processing
plants that meet varied requirements
in starch & it's derivative manufacturing
units. Our advance fabrication facilities,
team of industry professionals &
technical know how enable us to meet
client's specific requirement by developing
custom design machinery. we also excel
in establishing of complete plants
for starch extraction & execute
turnkey projects. |

Starch Manufacturing
Process:
Starch manufacturing process can be schematically
represent as follows: |
 |
| Usage
of Starch
As a pure & renewable natural polymer starch
caters to multiple usage. Its significance as
a polysacloride (being able to breakdown into
their monomeric and or oligomeric components)
leads to production of Dextrose, glucose, fructose,
maltose & sorbitol. Furthermore, starch is
also an important ingredient for the sugar industry,
which was otherwise relying upon sugar cane and
beet sugar.
Some of most common industrial
uses of starch is as follows:- |
| |
 |
Ceramics |
| |
Starch
is also used to make some packing peanuts,
and some dropped ceiling tiles. |
|
Textile chemicals |
| |
To reduce breaking
of yarns during weaving, the warp yarns are
sized. Starch is one of the main agents used
for cotton sizing. Starch is also used as
printing thickener. |
|
Printing
industry |
| |
in the printing
industry food grade starch is used in the
manufacture of anti-set-off spray powder used
to separate printed sheets of paper to avoid
wet ink being set off. |
|
|
Bioplastics |
| |
starch
is used to produce various bioplastics,
synthetic polymers that are biodegradable.
An example is polylactic acid. |
|
Body
powder |
| |
Powdered
corn starch is used as a substitute
for talcum powder in many health and
beauty products. |
|
Oil
exploration |
| |
starch
is used to adjust the viscosity of drilling
fluid which is used to lubricate the
drill head in (mineral) oil extraction. |
|
Bio-ethanol |
| |
Glucose
from starch can be further fermented
to ethanol.
Hydrogen production - Starch can be
used to produce hydrogen, using enzymes. |
|
Papermaking
|
|
Adhesives
