Corn syrup processing plant

Glucose syrup, also known as confectioner's glucose, is a syrup made from the hydrolysis of starch. Maize (corn) is commonly used as the source of the starch, in which case the syrup is called "corn syrup". Corn syrup is widely used in the manufacture of a variety of candy products.

The traditional method produce corn syrup from corn , it must produce corn starch from corn first . Now our company has the new technology , we can produce corn syrup from corn/maize directly . It does not need making the corn starch first.

Our company new technology for the corn syrup processing plant is as below :

1. Corn powder making process

The corn must be cleaned to ensure the corn without any purity before enter into the corn powder processing line . Different with the normal corn powder processing , it need separate the corn germ from corn first, then milling the peeled corn to powder form, after sieving and milling some times to get the required corn powder for making corn syrup.

2. Corn power slurry making process

Mixing the corn powder and water to get the right density slurry. Then add the amylase and keep on the temperature for particular time to make corn powder absorbing enough water .

3. Liquefaction process

The liquefaction process is convert the starch which contented inside of the corn powder into liquid dextrin. The material will be sprayed at high temperature by jet cooker . With the aid of amylase and steam , the starch will be converted into liquid dextrin quickly.

4. Deproteinization process

The deproteinization process is separate the corn protein and other solid impurity from liquid dextrin by filter press. The liquid dextrin will be pumped to next process, the corn protein will be left for sale. .

The by product corn protein ( feed grade) is top grade protein additives for making animal feed .

5. Saccharification process

The saccharification process is convert the liquid dextrin into required DE value corn syrup with the aid of gluco-amylase in the tank . This process should be run under specific temperature for some hours . This process is get the crude and yellow color corn syrup.

6. Decolorization process

The decolorization process is removing the color of the corn syrup by activated carbon. The corn syrup which reached required DE will be pumped from saccharification tank into the decolorization tank , mixed with activated carbon at proper temperature .

7.Decarburization process

The decarburization process is separating the activated carbon from the corn syrup by filter press to get clear corn syrup.

The corn syrup will flow into the slot and the transfer tank for next step. The activated carbon will be left.

8. Ion exchange process

The Ion exchange process is using the resin to remove the tiny foreign items and bad odor to get high quality pure corn syrup.

The resin need regeneration by acid and alkali washing after working for some days

9. Evaporation process

The evaporation process is evaporate the water inside the corn syrup to increase the DS of corn syrup.

Usually it need multi-effect evaporator work together with the single effect evaporator for producing high DS corn syrup.

10. Final product storage

The corn syrup which reach the required DS in the evaporation process will be pumped into final product storage tanks for storage.

The final product tank can keep the corn syrup purity before transportation.
