View Details ➔The Seoul metropolitan region, which includes the massive industrial corridors of Gyeonggi province and Incheon port infrastructure, stands as South Korea's main consumer center and chemical processing hub. Although Seoul itself is a dense urban center, the surrounding agricultural processing facilities, ingredient refineries, and bio-industrial parks supply crucial raw materials to the domestic food, fermentation, and pharmaceutical sectors. Major South Korean conglomerates (such as CJ CheilJedang, Daesang, and Samyang Genex) rely heavily on advanced wet milling infrastructure to process imported yellow corn into high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS), food-grade starches, modified starch for packaging materials, and critical bio-chemicals.
Implementing high-precision Degerming Mills is critical to optimizing grain-yield dynamics in this demanding landscape. A mill must provide rapid impact shearing to free the germ from the endosperm and hull without cracking the germ itself. Oil content in the corn germ can exceed 40%; thus, keeping the germ intact is essential for clean floatation and extraction. If the germ is crushed during milling, oil migrates into the starch slurry, leading to foaming, filter clogging, and contamination that degrades starch quality.
Maize wet milling starts with precise grain steeping, followed by the crucial first-break degerming step. Operating a modern degerming mill in high-throughput facilities requires an understanding of fluid dynamics, mechanical shear forces, and material physics. Here is a breakdown of our advanced design approach:
Utilizing adjustable rotor-stator clearances to handle varying corn hybrids imported through Incheon port. Precise adjustments protect the germ while releasing maximum endosperm.
Dynamically balanced heavy cast iron frames reduce vibration. This extends bearing life and prevents unplanned maintenance in continuous 24/7 operations.
Optimized internal rotor geometry minimizes hydraulic resistance. This design lowers kilowatt-per-ton power consumption to align with Korea's high industrial electricity rates.
The processing cycle does not end at the mill outlet. The resulting slurry must immediately pass to downstream hydrocyclones and dryers to prevent bacterial activity and starch degradation. We provide complete solutions that connect our degerming mills directly to multi-stage starch washing cyclones, high-pressure single screw presses for fiber dewatering, and thermal dryers.
Jiangsu Zongheng Concentrating and Drying Equipment Co., Ltd (formerly known as Yixing Yangxi Light Industry Machinery Factory), founded in 1992, is located in Zhoutie Town, Yixing City, on the shores of the beautiful Taihu Lake.

Modern starch processing is energy-intensive. Standard practices without thermal integration result in heavy energy losses. To help Korean mill operators lower running costs, we provide customized, high-performance thermal concentration systems:
Concentrating liquid steeping water, wastewater, or sugar syrups requires short contact times and low operating temperatures. Our Falling Film Evaporator Plants distribute the feed liquid as a thin film inside vertical tubes. This ensures quick evaporation without damaging heat-sensitive nutrients or sugars, maintaining high starch purity and heat efficiency.
To reduce thermal utility costs, we supply MVR Evaporation Plants. These systems compress and reuse clean evaporated vapor as the heating source for the evaporator. This reduces steam consumption by up to 90% compared to traditional multi-effect evaporators, which helps plants meet Korean environmental energy efficiency targets.
After separating fibers, germs, and starch, drying is the final step. Our ZXG Tube Bundle Dryers provide contact drying under low-oxygen, low-temperature conditions. This ensures safe, uniform drying of corn fibers and germ meal. For final starch powder drying, the MQG Airflow Dryer uses hot air to suspend and dry starch particles instantly, producing a consistent moisture content without overheating.
We understand that importing processing equipment into South Korea requires strict adherence to local industrial standards and safety codes. Our team offers specialized support to ensure seamless integration:
In step with global green transition initiatives, our technical team is developing smart-sensing degerming mills equipped with vibration and bearing temperature monitors. Additionally, we are building closed-loop evaporator systems designed for zero liquid discharge (ZLD). These innovations help starch refineries minimize water use and reuse process water within the plant.
