Corn starch drying solutions
Producing high-quality corn starch for various applications demands precise drying techniques. Improper drying can lead to contamination, discoloration, and unwanted denaturation, affecting the starch’s functionality.
Enhance drying efficiency with specialized configurations.
The corn starch drying solutions from Dedert involve using either flash dryers or ring dryers, depending on the application needs. Flash dryers are ideal for native corn starch due to their ability to maintain a low-heat environment and short residence time, minimizing thermal and mechanical stress on the product. For modified corn starch, Dedert employs P-Type Ring Dryers, which extend drying time through internal circulation of semi-dry solids, allowing for thorough drying without high-heat exposure. These systems are designed to prevent product contamination and discoloration, using an open-circuit configuration with indirect heat sources such as steam-heating. Dedert’s robust designs ensure safety during operation, particularly for the highly combustible nature of corn starch.
