Maize (corn) is commonly used as the source of the starch , in which case the syrup is called "maize syrup", but glucose syrup is also can be produced from potatoes starch , wheat starch ,  rice starch and cassava starch.
The traditional method in glucose syrup production plant is producing glucose syrup from the starch.Now my company has the new technology,we can produce glucose syrup from maize (corn) or broken rice directly in glucose syrup production plant . It does not need making the starch first. Then it can save the starch processing cost and get more profit from maize syrup production .

Maize glucose syrup production plant

My company technology for the maize glucose syrup production plant is as below:
1. Maize powder making process in  glucose syrup production plant
The maize after cleaning will be separated the germ first, then mill the maize meal into maize powder by dry milling method .  After milling and sieving several times to get the required size maize powder for producing the glucose syrup .

2. Maize powder slurry making process in glucose syrup production plant
Mixing the rice powder and water to get the right density slurry. Then add the amylase and keep on the temperature for particular time to make rice powder absorbing enough water  .
3. Liquefaction process in glucose syrup production plant
The liquefaction process is convert the starch which contented inside of the rice 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 in corn glucose syrup production plant
The deproteinization process is separate the rice protein and other solid impurity from liquid dextrin by filter press. The liquid dextrin will be pumped to next process, the rice protein will be left for sale. .
The by product rice protein ( feed grade) is top grade protein additives for making animal feed .
5. Saccharification process in maize glucose syrup production plant
The saccharification process is convert the liquid dextrin into required DE value glucose 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 glucose syrup.

6. Decolorization process  in maize glucose syrup production plant
The decolorization process is  removing the color of the glucose syrup by activated carbon. The glucose 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 in maize  glucose syrup production plant
The decarburization process is separating the activated carbon from the glucose syrup by filter press to get clear glucose syrup.
The glucose syrup will flow into the slot and the transfer tank for next step. The activated carbon will be left.

8. Ion exchange process in  maize glucose syrup production plant
The Ion exchange process is using the resin to remove the tiny foreign items and bad odor to get high quality pure glucose syrup.
The resin need regeneration by acid and alkali washing after working for some days

9. Evaporation process in maize glucose syrup production plant
The evaporation process is evaporate the water inside the glucose syrup to increase the DS of glucose syrup.
Usually it need multi-effect evaporator work together with the single effect evaporator for producing high DS glucose syrup.
10. Final product storage in  maize  glucose syrup production plant
The glucose 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 glucose syrup purity before transportation.
