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, patatoes, 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 accroding 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 applible 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 clients's specific requirement by
developing custom design machinery. we also excel in
establishing of complete plants for starch extraction &
execute turnkey projects.
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:-
- Ceramic Industry : Binder.
- Food Industries : Glucose, Dextrose, Fructose,
Sweetener.
- Paper Industry : Sizing, Pulp Making &
Surfacing.
- Textile Industry : Pointing & Finishing.
- Adhesive & Abrasive Industry : Important
Ingredient.
- Rubber Industry : Filler.
