Our company possesses decades of experience in starch extraction technology. Using raw materials such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and cassava, our production lines process these materials into packaged commercial starch (which can be further extracted and utilized). The entire production process is sealed to ensure the cleanliness of the final product. Customers can freely choose the daily processing capacity, raw materials, whether to use automated or manual production lines, and whether they require turnkey projects. Each production line is customized according to the specific requirements of the customer. We welcome inquiries and visits for further discussion.
