Corn Starch Plant
Corn starch is a fine, odorless, flavorless white powder derived from the endosperm of the corn kernel. Corn starch can be consumed directly as human food as well as an important raw material for producing starch sugar. It is widely used in pharmaceutical, textile, fermentation, chemical and other industries.
We boast over 30 years of corn starch industry experience and technical acumen, backed by a team of professional experts. We offer our clients comprehensive services, including process design, custom equipment design, 3D modeling, automation and electrical engineering, installation and commissioning, as well as training and after-sales support.
