Starch

High quality thanks to Siempelkamp Energy & Drying Solutions flash tube dryer technology

Starch is a carbohydrate extracted from agricultural raw materials, which is present in thousands of everyday food and non-food applications. It is the most important carbohydrate in the human diet.

The starch industry extracts and refines starches from seeds, roots and tubers, by wet grinding, washing, sieving and drying. Starch is mainly produced from corn, tapioca, wheat or potato.

The starch industry provides their customers with a broad portfolio of products ranging from native starches, modified starches, liquid and solid sweeteners to oils, proteins and fibers. Next to the food and feed industry papermaking is the largest industrial application for starches globally.

Siempelkamp Energy & Drying Solutions flash tube dryers are well suited to dry native or modified starch and certain co-products of the starch production.
