General process description of Corn
glucose production line
(1) Starch milk adjustment Starch
milk coming from starch plant is adjusted to DS****2% and proper PH
and temperature. Or mix the dry starch with water to reach above
condition for next section.
(2) Liquefaction Starch milk is sent
to buffer tank then liquefied by jet cooker with the aid of
enzyme.
(3) Saccharification The liquefied
material is sent to enzyme saccharification tank for reaction.
After being kept in holding tube the required DE value of the
glucose will be reached. Then the material is sent to flash for
cooling then to the neutralization tank for suitable PH
value.
(4) Filtration and decoloring
Glucose is cleaned by removing the protein and other foreign items
in rotary vacuum filter and filter press. Active carbon is needed
for decoloring at proper temperature.
(5) Ion exchange Tiny foreign items
and bad odor is removed via ion exchanger. This equipment is used
for high quality product.
(6) Evaporation The glucose is
totally cleaned through safety filter then sent to evaporator for
concentrating to reach the required DS as final product.
