Starch dryer should be cold or hot drying, according to experience from Mactech, customers should use cold dryer to dry products such as turmeric powder, cassava powder, medicine powder, fruit powder, vegetable powder, spirulina powder. In this content, we will find out why we should consider using the cold drying method.

Starch is a powder product with a very high fineness, when mixed with water it will completely dissolve in water without leaving any residue, these are all carefully manufactured products, going through many stages of refining and especially the drying process requires great care because high temperatures will damage the starch. The most suitable drying temperature for starch is below 60^oC, especially the lower the drying temperature the better, drying at low temperatures will help the dried product retain its natural color and nutrients are not changed.

Household dryers have a drying temperature range of 40-95^oC, suitable for commonly dried products and have been widely used today, especially the low price of the dryer is very suitable for small and medium-sized production. This type of dryer is often used for drying starch at a temperature of 40-55^oC is most suitable, however, for some high-value starches such as fruit powder, spirulina powder, probiotic powder, medicine powder… it is necessary to dry at a lower temperature, from 10-40^oC. Therefore, in general, when the owner has a high level of investment, using a cold dryer to make a starch dryer is very reasonable.
