Production of Starch

At Zihmao, we’ve spent decades perfecting starch for paper making—not just as a raw material, but as a solution to real-world production challenges.

Whether you’re working on coated paper, corrugated boards, or specialty packaging, we get how important fiber strength, surface finish, and machine efficiency are to your line. That’s why we offer starch formulas that not only bond better, but also run smoother, dry faster, and adapt to your process with ease.

We work closely with manufacturers to tailor every batch—because your machines, materials, and goals are never exactly the same as someone else’s. And we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Take a look at our wide range of starch products used across multiple industries—every one of them fully customizable to your needs.

As a professional starch manufacturer, we understand the rigorous demands of the pet food industry regarding ingredient functionality and stability.

We offer a range of optimized starch products designed to perfectly suit both the market-dominant Extrusion process and the innovative Cold Press manufacturing method.

Core Product Features and Technical Advantages

1. Addressing Traditional Extrusion Process Requirements

The traditional extrusion process relies on the complete gelatinization of starch under high heat and high shear to achieve kibble expansion and molding.

2. Adapting to Novel Cold Press Process Requirements

The Cold Press process aims for minimal heat treatment to preserve nutrients, placing a higher demand on starch for ambient binding properties and stability.
