Both potato starch and cassava starch are valued for their unique properties:

• Potato Starch: High viscosity, neutral taste, and strong binding capabilities make it ideal for food applications such as soups, sauces, and baking, as well as industrial uses like adhesives and textiles.
• Cassava Starch: Known for its superior gel formation and high carbohydrate content, cassava starch is widely used in food production, paper manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and even biodegradable plastics.

Comprehensive Potato Starch Processing Solutions

Potato starch is one of the most sought-after starches due to its exceptional binding and thickening properties. However, efficient extraction requires advanced technology and precision machinery. Our cutting-edge potato starch processing solutions include:

• Washing & Peeling Systems – Ensuring raw potatoes are thoroughly cleaned and prepared for further processing, reducing contamination and improving final product quality.
• Crushing & Pulping Machines – Breaking down the potatoes efficiently to extract maximum starch content with minimal raw material loss.
• Slurry Separation Units – Utilizing centrifugal separation technology to remove fibers and proteins, ensuring high-purity starch output.
• Dewatering Systems – Optimizing moisture removal for easier drying and improved processing efficiency.
• Drying & Packaging Systems – Designed to maintain starch quality, extend shelf life, and ensure safe transportation to various industries.
