Evaporator Equipment Successfully Shipped for Zhoushan Large-Scale Starch Production Project
Project Overview: Custom Evaporation Solution for Zhoushan Starch Factory
Jiangsu Zongheng Concentrating and Drying Equipment Co., Ltd, a professional manufacturer of industrial concentrating and drying systems, recently finished manufacturing and shipment of a full set of evaporator equipment for a large starch processing project located in Zhoushan, Zhejiang Province.
This starch project focuses on deep processing of raw starch to produce high-purity starch syrup, maltodextrin and by-product protein concentrate. The whole production line requires stable, low-temperature vacuum concentration to retain the natural flavor and nutrients of starch materials, which puts forward strict standards on energy consumption, anti-scaling performance and automatic operation of evaporation equipment.
After in-depth communication with the project owner’s technical team, our R&D and engineering department customized a matched multi-effect falling film evaporator system tailored to the viscosity, solid content and daily processing capacity of Zhoushan starch feed liquid.
Core Advantages of Our Evaporator for Starch Processing
Starch syrup and starch by-products are typical heat-sensitive, medium-viscosity materials, so our evaporator series adopts targeted structural optimization to solve common pain points in starch factories:
Short material residence time & low vacuum evaporation temperature
Materials flow down heating tubes in uniform thin film, with heating time controlled within dozens of seconds under 40–60℃ vacuum environment, effectively preventing starch browning, denaturation and flavor loss.
High energy efficiency to cut long-term production cost
The system supports multi-effect heat recovery and optional MVR mechanical vapor recompression module. Secondary steam is fully recycled as heating source, reducing raw steam consumption by over 60% compared with traditional single-effect evaporators, lowering electricity and boiler operating expenses for the Zhoushan plant.
Anti-blocking stainless steel flow channel
All material contact parts adopt food-grade 304 stainless steel. Optimized tube layout and circulation pump design avoid tube blockage caused by starch sediment and protein scaling, extending continuous running cycle and lowering maintenance frequency.
Full automatic PLC intelligent control
Equipped with real-time monitoring of temperature, vacuum, feed flow and outlet concentration, with automatic adjustment and safety interlock alarms. Operators can monitor the whole evaporation process on one control panel, greatly reducing manual intervention.
Customized Design Matching Zhoushan Local Production Conditions
Zhoushan coastal factories face high humidity and limited factory building height. Our engineering team adjusted the overall layout of the evaporator unit during design:
- Compact integrated structure to save workshop floor space, adapting to the existing plant layout of the starch project;
- Complete anti-corrosion and anti-rust treatment for all outdoor pipelines and frames to cope with coastal salt fog environment;
- Supporting complete condensate recovery system, recycled water can be reused in starch pre-washing procedures to realize water saving and environmental compliance.
Before delivery, all evaporator units passed strict factory pressure test, heat exchange efficiency test and continuous running simulation test. Our after-sales technical team will arrange on-site installation guidance, system commissioning and operator training after the equipment arrives at the Zhoushan project site, to ensure smooth official production.
Why Starch Processing Plants Choose Jiangsu Zongheng Evaporators
We have accumulated rich engineering experience in starch, starch sugar, corn syrup and grain by-product concentration industries. Our evaporator systems have been applied in dozens of domestic starch production lines, covering small, medium and large-scale industrial projects.
Different from general-purpose evaporation equipment suppliers, we provide one-stop service: process scheme design, customized equipment manufacturing, whole-set pipeline matching, on-site installation guidance and long-term after-sales maintenance. We do not only sell evaporators, but deliver complete concentration solutions matching different starch production crafts.
Wide Application Range of Our Evaporator Series
Except starch and starch sugar processing, our evaporator products can also be widely used in:
Food industry: fruit juice, dairy liquid, sweetener concentration;
Bio-fermentation: amino acid, glucose, enzyme liquid evaporation;
Environmental protection: industrial wastewater, protein waste liquid recycling concentration;
Chemical & pharmaceutical: low-temperature concentration of heat-sensitive liquid materials.
We support non-standard customization according to customers’ daily processing volume, heat source conditions, workshop space and local environmental protection standards, including single-effect, multi-effect, falling film, forced circulation and MVR evaporator models.
