Solid-state Fermentation

In July 2016, a soybean meal fermentation line supplied by Myande Group for Zhejiang Cofine Biotech Inc. Ltd was put into production. It is expected that the successful completion of this project will accelerate Cofine’s pace of strategy development and enhance Myande’s market recognition in the solid fermentation engineering industry. It represents one milestone in Myande’s achievements in accelerating sustainable and healthy development of green animal feed industry.   Initiated by Dr. Zhang Tingzhou, Zhejiang Cofine Biotech Inc. Ltd. is a technology-intensive corporation playing a leading role in producing fermented functional protein. Drawing on reliable research results of MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Zhejiang University, and China Academy of Agricultural Sciences, and Institute of Microbiology of China Academy, Cofine has focused on microbial fermentation and bioengineering. The company’s mission is to reduce the cost of feed, advance animal husbandry, and improve the quality of related produces.   Fermentation engineering is an emerging core business of Myande. In recent years, “Myande” has developed into a widely recognized professional brand in the solid fermentation industry in China. Myande fermentation engineering has the following features:   Integrated Solutions With strong integrative engineering capabilities, Myande provides its clients with complete package engineering services that cover site planning, civil design, process design, equipment R&D and supply, installation, commissioning, staff training, and after-sale service.

Myande fermentation equipment include rectangular trough fermentation bed, rectangular fermentation machine with controllable temperature and humidity, circular fermentation tower, and circular fermentation machine. Custom-made drying equipment include tube dryer, live drying tower, and circulation dryer.   Automatic Control System Myande’s fermentation engineering services include design and supply of sophisticated automatic control system that enables precise adjustment of process parameters on the computer screen. Myande control system enables its clients to reduce labor cost and improve productivity.

Recently, a 2,000 t/d rapeseed crushing plant built by Myande Group for Daodaoquan Grain and Oil Co., Ltd. started operation successfully and started to yield qualified rapeseed oil and meal. Daodaoquan Grain and Oil Co., Ltd. is a comprehensive oil processing enterprise integrating production, scientific research, trade, warehousing and logistics of edible vegetable oil and its related by-products.   This new rapeseed crushing plant incorporates a wide range of Myande core equipment possessing independent intellectual property rights, including the E-type extractor, hydraulic flaker, DTDC, conditioner, and other key equipment. To achieve flexible material incoming and discharging, Myande CCJL series sweep auger and CQJL series reclaimer are used. In addition, advanced energy-saving technology, negative pressure draining technology and intelligent safety technology are used to ensure the stable operation of the entire production line and excellent product index. With the concept of "creating the best performance for our customers", Myande cooperates with DaoDaoQuan to build a modern, energy-efficient, and environmentally friendly factory.  

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.
