Introduction of wheat starch production
Wheat serves as a crucial source of starch and vital wheat gluten, widely used across food, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors. As a core raw material for large-scale processing, its production traditionally faces challenges of high water and energy consumption.
As China's leading agricultural and food engineering technology provider, COFCO Engineering delivers integrated wheat starch processing solutions that enhance yield, reduce energy consumption, and promote sustainable production.
Wheat Starch Production Process

04
Separation
Separation
After steeping, the flour is separated through centrifugal separation, dividing the bran, germ, and a slurry containing starch and protein.

05
Purification
Purification
The slurry is further purified through high-speed centrifugation to remove impurities and proteins, leaving behind a more refined starch slurry.

06
Drying
Drying
The purified starch slurry is then transferred to drying equipment where high temperatures are used to rapidly evaporate the water, forming refined wheat starch.
