Production plants for starch technology

Tried-and-trusted – well-engineered – economical

Moulding processes in starch with mogul plants are of great importance due to their highly flexible use. New product geometries can be implemented easily and cost efficiently by simply changing the stamp. Many products require drying time in the mould starch to develop the right texture. This includes products that crystallise specifically due to moisture removal in the mould starch, such as toffee and liqueur pralines.
