From Native Starch to Finished Product
Explore the engineering behind our fully automated modified starch lines. Every step utilizes precision control to ensure consistent modification and optimal yield.
Flour Mixing
Blends native starch (corn, cassava, potato, or wheat) with water and additives to uniform moisture content. High-speed shearing ensures all particles are evenly hydrated before extrusion.
Acc: ±0.5%Screw Conveying
Feeds mixed material continuously into the extruder at a controlled rate. Ensures steady material flow and prevents bridging or segregation of the starch mixture.
Variable Frequency DriveTwin-Screw Extrusion
Co-rotating screws apply heat, pressure, and shear to modify starch structure. Self-wiping action provides better mixing and more consistent heat transfer than single-screw designs.
Core TechnologyAir Conveying
Transports extruded material pneumatically to the drying stage. Closed system prevents contamination and moisture absorption during transfer between process stages.
Closed SystemMulti-Layer Drying
Reduces moisture to 10–14% using controlled hot air circulation. Multi-layer design maximizes heat transfer efficiency while preserving modified starch functionality.
Moisture Target: 10-14%Cooling & Grinding
Product is cooled to ambient temperature before entering the grinder/pulverizer. Produces fine powder to required mesh size (80–200 mesh) for downstream applications.
80-200 Mesh OutputPackaging
Automatic weighing, filling, and sealing systems package finished modified starch. Seamlessly integrates with bagging equipment for a turnkey finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common queries about modified starch production lines, equipment, costs, and applications.
What is a modified starch production line?
A modified starch production line is an integrated manufacturing system that converts native starch into modified starch through physical, chemical, or enzymatic treatment. It typically includes mixing, extrusion or reaction, drying, grinding, and packaging equipment.
What equipment is needed for modified starch production?
A standard extrusion-based line uses: mixer, screw conveyor, twin-screw extruder, air conveyor, multi-layer dryer, cooling conveyor, grinder or pulverizer, and packaging machine. Chemical modification lines also require reaction tanks, dosing systems, pH control, and washing equipment.
How much does a modified starch production line cost?
Small pilot lines start around $30,000. Mid-size industrial lines range from $100,000 to $350,000. Large production lines cost $350,000 to $800,000, while turnkey plants can exceed $1,500,000 depending on capacity, automation, and configuration.
What raw materials can be used?
Corn, cassava, potato, wheat, and waxy maize starch are the most common. Each source produces different viscosity, gel strength, and solubility characteristics. High-amylopectin cassava starch is often preferred for oil drilling, while oxidized corn starch is widely used in paper coating.
What is the difference between modified starch and pregelatinized starch?
Pregelatinized starch is a type of physically modified starch that dissolves in cold water. Modified starch is a broader category that also includes chemically and enzymatically treated starches with enhanced stability, adhesion, or viscosity properties.
Which certifications should a modified starch production line have?
Look for CE, ISO9001, and food-grade compliance options such as HACCP, FDA 21 CFR, and EU 1935/2004. The right certification set depends on whether you produce food-grade or industrial-grade starch.
