—Starch processing investment status

Sweet potato, potato, cassava, corn and other crops are rich in starch, protein, pectin, cellulose, amino acids, vitamins and many other minerals. The taste and nutritional value are extremely high, which is the main source of starch processing in the world market. The application areas of starch include: paper industry, textile industry, food processing industry, adhesive production and other fields, which are widely used in industrial production. Start a starch processing plant no neet to worry about the sale market.

—Investing in starch processing equipment needs to take into account the following points

1. Raw materials: sweet potato, potato, cassava, corn and other processed crop materials.

2. Land planting area: a stable source of processed raw materials, a wide area of raw material planted or an area where grain cultivation may be developed.

3. Funding: It mainly includes infrastructure, starch processing equipment, manpower, and working capital. The investment amount of equipment is affected by three factors: machine automation, processing technology and manufacturing materials.

4. Water source: Processing starch requires sufficient and clean water source, which is the basic premise and guarantee for the development to start a starch processing plant.

5. Electricity: The improvement of power infrastructure is the guarantee for the smooth development of starch processing plant. After all, all aspects of plant operation requests power support.

6. Gas: Heating energy supply methods such as standard coal, gas, natural gas, electricity, etc. In order to avoid coal-fired pollution, use environmentally and friendly processing methods such as electromagnetic heating technology.

—Invest in starch processing plant equipment cost profit

Take 1 ton of dry starch from the automatic sweet potato starch processing plant as an example. About 5 tons of sweet potatoes and 10-15 tons of water are needed.

【Cost of production】

1. Raw material (sweet potato): 5 tons of sweet potato, cost about $500.

2. Water: 10 tons of sweet potato water for 10-15 tons, water fee about $5

3. Electricity consumption: Electricity consumption is 150-200 kw/h, and electricity cost is about $11. Note that the prices of agricultural electricity and industrial electricity are different.

4. Labor: 6 people per class, per hour costs about $11.25.

5. Fuel (coal): 100 tons of coal for drying 1 ton of starch and about $15 for coal.

6. Direct production cost = raw material + water fee + electricity fee + labor + fuel, about 542.25 US dollars.

7. Other expenses: depreciation, taxation, etc. are calculated according to the actual situation of each user. The profit is based on the actual sales at the local market price, minus the cost as a net profit.

[Note: Due to different market conditions of sweet potato starch processing, sweet potato prices, utilities, labor costs, starch price standards, starch production economic benefits will be different. Therefore, the data in this article is for reference only, please refer to the local market price. ]

—Investment in starch processing equipment factory construction requirements

There are generally 5 specific requirements for starting a starch processing plant to choose a factory address:

1. Choose to be close to the raw material origin, product sales market and farmers market.

2. Choose convenient transportation, close to the grains production base, and the raw material planting area is close to the road for transportation.

3. Choose areas close to high quality water (soft water, no pollution, no source of disease, meet the water quality standards), and sufficient water. The well water or river water is better, the drainage is convenient, and there is no pollution around.

4. Choose to be close to the power supply, complete with water and electricity facilities, sufficient power supply, and reliability of power supply.

5. Requirements for construction conditions, topography and land area of the plant: The terrain, size and slope of the plant should be conducive to the transportation, water supply and drainage needs, and be compatible with the process characteristics of the starch processing plant during processing.
