Engineered for high-throughput starch extraction, precise germ separation, and optimized dewatering performance.
The agricultural processing and bio-refinery sectors in Belgium are undergoing a significant transformation. Driven by stringent European Union environmental regulations, rising energy costs, and the demand for high-purity end products, processors are seeking advanced mechanical solutions. At the heart of wet milling operations is the Degerming Mill, a critical component that determines the efficiency of germ separation and the overall starch yield.
Belgium serves as a vital logistics and processing hub in Western Europe. With major ports like Antwerp-Bruges and a highly integrated transport network, Belgian agro-industrial plants process millions of tons of grain annually. The local market demands machinery that complies with strict CE standards and ATEX directives, given the explosive nature of starch dust and organic processing environments.
Furthermore, Belgian operators are focusing heavily on reducing water and energy footprints. Traditional degerming methods often result in high starch loss or damaged germs, which reduces the value of the co-products (such as corn oil). Modern degerming mills must balance high shearing forces with gentle handling of the kernel structure to release the germ intact.
Global procurement teams face several bottlenecks when sourcing heavy machinery for starch and bio-ethanol plants:
Jiangsu Zongheng addresses these challenges by offering integrated processing lines. A typical setup combines our high-precision Degerming Mill with downstream Starch Washing Cyclones, Single Screw Presses for dewatering, and energy-efficient MVR Evaporation Plants to handle process water concentration.
Our technology roadmap focuses on:
1. Dynamic Gap Control: Automated adjustment of milling plates to adapt to varying grain sizes and moisture levels.
2. Energy Recovery: Integrating waste heat from airflow and tube bundle dryers back into the pre-heating stages of the wet mill.
3. Smart Monitoring: IoT-enabled vibration and temperature sensors to predict maintenance needs before failures occur.

Jiangsu Zongheng's MQG Airflow Dryer employs high-speed hot air to suspend and fluidize the material. By utilizing impulse airflow generated from precisely varied tube diameters, it continuously tumbles the particles while conveying them. This design ensures rapid, uniform, and efficient drying throughout the entire transportation process within the system.

A falling film evaporator efficiently concentrates heat-sensitive liquids. The feed liquid forms a thin film flowing down heated vertical tubes, where it partially evaporates. Vapor generated flows parallel to the liquid, enhancing the process. It ensures a short residence time and low operating temperature, preserving product quality.
