Corn Starch Manufacturing Plant Setup 2025: Raw Materials, Cost and Requirements

Corn starch is a fine, white powder extracted from the endosperm of corn kernels. It is widely used as a thickening agent in food, a raw material in the paper, textile, and pharmaceutical industries, and in biodegradable plastics. Its versatility stems from its neutral taste, high absorbency, and ability to form gels, making it an essential ingredient across industrial and domestic applications.

A corn starch plant requires sourcing quality corn, milling and steeping equipment, hydrolysis units, centrifuges, dryers, and packaging systems. Proper water supply, electricity, and storage facilities are critical. The process involves cleaning, grinding, separating starch from fibers, and drying to achieve powdered starch. Efficient workflow, waste management, and quality control are key to operational success.
