600,000 T/A Wheat Starch Deep Processing Project Successfully Launched
Recently, the 1st phase of Henan Hanyong's 600,000 tons (annual output) wheat starch deep processing project, designed by and installed under the guidance of Myande, has been smoothly commissioned, and contract for the 2nd phase was signed with Myande, marking the further extension of the domestic wheat deep processing industry chain. Henan Hanyong Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is one of the leading enterprises in agricultural industrialization of Henan province. It mainly produces edible alcohol with strong competitiveness and a high reputation in the market. Starch deep processing is one of Myande’s important business segments. After years of technology and experience accumulation in the field of starch deep processing, Myande has formed a complete set of production design system with a high degree of automation, stable operation and high product quality. In recent years, Myande has successfully established long-term strategic cooperative relations with multiple famous domestic and international enterprises. Combining with Hanyong's own industrial advantages, after in-depth research, efficient communication and repeated demonstrations, Myande has designed a set of production plan (as shown in the following figure) specially for the customer, and it can not only produce gluten and wheat starch, but also make better use of the mixed nutrient solution of process water and pentosan to produce alcohol, which will bring considerable economic benefits. The 1st phase project is a 500tpd wheat flour processing project, including a 3tpd gluten drying system and a 12tpd starch drying system. From beginning to end, the whole project lasted for 10 months. During the whole implementation process, from the plant layout planning, process design, intelligent automation design in the early stage, project service in the mid-term, to the installation, commissioning and training in the post stage, Myande’s rigorous, attentive and efficient one-stop service has won the unanimous praise of Hanyong. Through the joint efforts of Myande and Hanyong employees, a brand-new starch deep processing production line was successfully commissioned and started running smoothly, and all indicators were superior to the technical level of the same industry. In view of the pleasant cooperation in the 1st phase, Hanyong decided to cooperate with Myande again to expand its wheat starch deep processing output, and signed the 2nd phase project with Myande resolutely, namely 5t/d gluten drying system and 20t/h starch drying system. After which, Hanyong will become a high-quality gluten high-value conversion base with "the largest scale, the best environment protection and the highest level of research and development" in the industry in Asia.

FAQ
-
Why are more native starch producers investing in modified starch production?
-
For many starch manufacturers, the biggest challenge is not production capacity—it is declining margins in commodity starch markets.
Modified starch enables producers to move beyond selling bulk starch and enter higher-value markets such as food ingredients, paper chemicals, textiles, pharmaceuticals, adhesives, and biodegradable materials.
For many companies, investing in modified starch is a strategic upgrade from commodity manufacturing to specialty ingredient production.
-
-
Should I build a production line for one modified starch grade or multiple grades?
-
In today's market, flexibility is becoming increasingly important.
Many successful producers manufacture multiple modified starches on the same production platform to respond quickly to changing customer demand.
A flexible process can reduce market risk while improving equipment utilization and long-term return on investment.
When evaluating a turnkey solution, ask whether the process can support future product expansion without major modifications.
-
-
Which modified starch products should a new plant be able to manufacture?
-
The answer depends on your target market, but many producers seek the flexibility to manufacture a broad portfolio, including:
- Acetylated starch
- Cross-linked starch
- Acetylated distarch adipate (E1422)
- Hydroxypropyl distarch phosphate (E1442)
- Oxidized starch
- Cationic starch
A plant capable of producing multiple starch grades allows manufacturers to respond more quickly to changing customer demand and reduces dependence on a single product segment.
-
-
What process capabilities have the greatest impact on modified starch quality?
-
Modified starch performance depends on precise control throughout the reaction process.
Critical process parameters include:
- reaction temperature
- pH control
- reagent dosing accuracy
- reaction time
- washing efficiency
- drying conditions
Consistent control of these variables is essential to achieve stable viscosity, substitution level, and application performance from batch to batch.
-
-
What are the biggest technical risks in modified starch production?
-
Common challenges include:
- inconsistent reaction control
- uneven reagent distribution
- product quality variation
- excessive chemical consumption
- inefficient drying
These issues can reduce product consistency and increase manufacturing costs.
An optimized process minimizes these risks through precise automation and integrated process control.
-
-
How can a modified starch plant remain competitive over the next decade?
-
Future competitiveness depends on the ability to continuously develop new products.
Manufacturers should consider whether the plant can:
- support new starch chemistries
- adapt to changing regulations
- produce multiple product grades
- integrate future process upgrades
A flexible turnkey plant provides a stronger foundation for long-term growth than a facility designed for only today's market.
-
-
Why is pilot testing important before commercial investment?
-
Laboratory results do not always translate directly into stable industrial production. Process parameters that perform well at laboratory scale may behave differently when scaled up to continuous manufacturing.
Pilot-scale validation allows manufacturers to verify:
- reaction feasibility
- product performance
- process stability
- raw material suitability
- production economics
Conducting pilot trials before commercial investment helps reduce technical uncertainty, optimize process parameters, and minimize costly modifications after plant commissioning.
To support this process, Myande operates dedicated R&D and pilot testing facilities where customers can validate process routes, evaluate different modified starch grades, optimize formulations, and generate engineering data before full-scale project implementation. This enables more confident investment decisions and a smoother transition from laboratory development to commercial production.
-
-
What should I look for when selecting a modified starch turnkey solution provider?
-
Rather than comparing equipment specifications alone, evaluate whether the supplier can provide:
- process development capability
- pilot testing support
- flexible production design
- industrial project experience
- automation expertise
- long-term technical support
A qualified partner should not simply deliver a production line.
They should help you build a manufacturing platform capable of supporting future product innovation.
