The main potato crop in India is potato, followed by cassava. India has also had a history of starch powder manufacturing for many years. In recent years, starch processing in India has also become industrialized. What is the food grade starch powder machine in India? Henan Jinrui will introduce to you.

Usually, food grade starch powder machines include cleaning part, crushing part, extracting part, and drying parts. The complete machine consists of a dry sieve, paddle washer, cutting machine, milling machine, centrifugal sieve, hydrocyclone unit, vacuum filter, and airflow dryer.

Food grade starch powder machines

First, use a dry sieve to remove the larger impurities, such as small stones and weeds from the raw material, and then use a paddle washer to rinse clean the surface of potato/cassava raw material's impurities such as mud and sand.

Next, use the cutting machine to cut the raw material into small pieces, which are easy to be processed by the milling machine. The amount of crushing rate also determines the amount of starch yield, which is the most important thing.

The crushed cassava/potato powder is a fluid slurry that enters a centrifugal sieve and separates the starch from the fibers: it then passes through a fine residue sieve to remove the coarse fibers, leaving a coarse potato/cassava starch slurry.

Potato/cassava starch processing process

After that, the rough potato/cassava starch slurry is pumped into the hydrocyclone unit using a screw pump to separate the protein and cellular fluid and the starch emulsion is removed from the protein and cellular fluid using the hydrocyclone unit, so that a clean potato/cassava starch emulsion can be obtained.

Finally, the starch emulsion was dehydrated into wet starch with about 40% moisture using a vacuum filter and then put into an airflow dryer for drying to obtain dry potato/cassava starch.

So if you want to start your potato/cassava starch powder machine or choose to set up a starch powder processing plant in India, pls feel free to contact Henan Jinrui company. Our company has done many projects in different countries and will give you more professional suggestions for you.
