The Difference Between Wet-milling and Dry-milling Process for Starch Manufacture
Maize, cassava, wheat, and potato are the primary plant sources. It is critical to understand the differences between starches generated from different botanical sources when selecting and developing starches for specific uses. Overall, separating starch from roots and tubers is simple, with starch released by breaking vegetative cells. The two basic techniques for starch production are wet milling and dry milling. Wet milling means dispersing the material in a liquid and using solid, grinding components to reduce size, whereas dry milling often uses particle-on-particle contact to reduce size. Both of these methods may be used to break down goods.

Starch Manufacturing Technologies at CD BioGlyco
CD BioGlyco primarily manufactures native starch using two technologies: wet milling and dry milling. Both are frequently utilized in the starch production process. Furthermore, CD BioGlyco provides our clients with customized manufacturing processes in order to establish our unique manufacturing platform and provide our clients with the finest options. CD BioGlyco is able to produce a wide range of Native Starches using various production procedures.
Wet milling involves dispersing particles in a liquid slurry through shearing or crushing, making them ready for use or drying, and separation for incorporation into other products. It is a more complex process than dry milling but offers the advantage of reducing the product into finer particles. This enables the production of a broader range of byproducts and improves the physical properties of the final product.
Dry milling is a process that does not involve any liquid and is commonly used for reducing the particle size of dry materials, including powders and granules. It is also effective for de-agglomerating and de-lumping bulk materials.
Besides using high-level dry milling and wet milling processes separately for starch manufacturing, we also provide custom processes for starch manufacturing that combine these two processes and offer clients good manufacturing solutions according to their needs.
Case Studies of Starch Manufacturing Technologies
Dry milling and wet milling are two main processes used in starch manufacture, and they differ in terms of ultimate particle size and yield：
- Dry milling produces smaller starch particles, generally ranging from 10 to 100 microns. Dry milling produces a high yield of starch in general.
- Wet milling frequently produces smaller starch particles, ranging in size from 1 to 10 microns. Wet milling might result in a slightly lower starch yield than dry milling due to starch loss in the liquid fraction.
