600,000 T/A Wheat Starch Deep Processing Project Successfully Launched
Recently, the 1st phase of Henan Hanyong's 600,000 tons (annual output) wheat starch deep processing project, designed by and installed under the guidance of Myande, has been smoothly commissioned, and contract for the 2nd phase was signed with Myande, marking the further extension of the domestic wheat deep processing industry chain. Henan Hanyong Biotechnology Co., Ltd. is one of the leading enterprises in agricultural industrialization of Henan province. It mainly produces edible alcohol with strong competitiveness and a high reputation in the market. Starch deep processing is one of Myande’s important business segments. After years of technology and experience accumulation in the field of starch deep processing, Myande has formed a complete set of production design system with a high degree of automation, stable operation and high product quality. In recent years, Myande has successfully established long-term strategic cooperative relations with multiple famous domestic and international enterprises. Combining with Hanyong's own industrial advantages, after in-depth research, efficient communication and repeated demonstrations, Myande has designed a set of production plan (as shown in the following figure) specially for the customer, and it can not only produce gluten and wheat starch, but also make better use of the mixed nutrient solution of process water and pentosan to produce alcohol, which will bring considerable economic benefits. The 1st phase project is a 500tpd wheat flour processing project, including a 3tpd gluten drying system and a 12tpd starch drying system. From beginning to end, the whole project lasted for 10 months. During the whole implementation process, from the plant layout planning, process design, intelligent automation design in the early stage, project service in the mid-term, to the installation, commissioning and training in the post stage, Myande’s rigorous, attentive and efficient one-stop service has won the unanimous praise of Hanyong. Through the joint efforts of Myande and Hanyong employees, a brand-new starch deep processing production line was successfully commissioned and started running smoothly, and all indicators were superior to the technical level of the same industry. In view of the pleasant cooperation in the 1st phase, Hanyong decided to cooperate with Myande again to expand its wheat starch deep processing output, and signed the 2nd phase project with Myande resolutely, namely 5t/d gluten drying system and 20t/h starch drying system. After which, Hanyong will become a high-quality gluten high-value conversion base with "the largest scale, the best environment protection and the highest level of research and development" in the industry in Asia.

FAQ
-
Why are more rice processors investing in rice protein and starch production instead of selling broken rice directly?
-
For many rice processors, broken rice is traditionally sold as a low-value commodity.
However, food-grade rice protein and rice starch can significantly increase the value generated from the same raw material.
The investment decision is often driven by a simple question:
How can we move from selling agricultural commodities to supplying high-value food ingredients?
Companies that successfully upgrade into ingredient production typically achieve higher margins and stronger market resilience than those relying solely on commodity markets.
-
-
What determines whether a rice protein project can achieve long-term profitability?
-
Long-term profitability depends on more than protein yield.
Successful projects are built around four key factors:
-Consistent food-grade quality
- Stable protein purity
- Efficient utilization of rice starch co-products
- Competitive production costs
Many projects focus heavily on extraction technology but underestimate the importance of product consistency and market acceptance.
The most profitable producers are those that can continuously supply ingredients that food manufacturers trust.
-
-
How important are heavy metal and pesticide residue control in rice protein production?
-
This has become one of the most important factors in premium food ingredient markets.
Rice naturally has a higher risk of accumulating certain contaminants compared with some other crops.
As a result, many food manufacturers and nutrition brands place strict requirements on:
- Heavy metal levels
- Pesticide residues
- Food safety compliance
A modern rice protein plant should therefore be designed not only for protein extraction, but also for contaminant reduction and quality assurance.
-
-
What are the biggest technical challenges in producing food-grade rice protein?
-
The challenge is not simply extracting protein from rice, but doing so while maintaining:
- high protein purity
- low contaminant levels
- stable functionality
- consistent product quality
Rice protein production requires precise control of separation, purification, concentration, and drying processes. Small deviations can affect not only protein yield but also the final ingredient performance required by food manufacturers.
-
-
How does drying technology affect rice protein quality?
-
Drying is often underestimated, but it can significantly influence:
- protein solubility
- dispersibility
- color
- flavor
- nutritional quality
Excessive heat exposure may reduce the functional performance of rice protein, particularly in applications such as beverages and nutrition products.
Therefore, drying should be considered a quality-preservation step, not simply a moisture-removal process.
-
-
How can a rice processing project maximize value from both starch and protein?
-
The most successful projects view rice as a multi-product resource rather than a single-product process.
A well-designed plant can generate value from:
- Rice protein
- Rice starch
- Specialty food ingredients
This integrated approach improves overall profitability and reduces dependence on a single product market.
In many cases, project success comes from maximizing total value recovery rather than maximizing one product stream.
-
-
What should I evaluate when selecting a rice starch and protein technology provider?
-
Instead of focusing only on equipment specifications, evaluate whether the supplier can help you achieve:
- Food-grade product quality
- Consistent contaminant control
- Stable production performance
- Efficient resource utilization
- Long-term scalability
The right technology partner should understand both ingredient manufacturing requirements and industrial plant operation.
-
-
Why are turnkey solutions increasingly preferred for food-grade rice protein projects?
-
Food ingredient production requires every process step to work together consistently.
Rice protein and starch manufacturing involves:
- Raw material preparation
- Separation
- Purification
- Concentration
- Drying
- Quality control
A turnkey approach helps reduce project risk by ensuring that all systems are designed as an integrated solution rather than independent pieces of equipment.
This often leads to faster startup, more stable operation, and more predictable product quality.
