What are the differences between manual and automated sweet potato starch production line equipment
January 29, 2026
Currently, the market mainly offers two different sweet potato starch processing methods: simple sweet potato starch production lines and automated sweet potato starch production lines. What are the differences between these two types of sweet potato starch production equipment?
The differences between simple and automated sweet potato starch production lines mainly lie in the level of automation, investment costs, and the quality of the finished sweet potato starch.
1. Level of Automation
Simple sweet potato starch production lines use a processing technology that combines manual labor and sweet potato starch processing equipment, requiring a large number of employees for production. Automated sweet potato starch production lines handle everything from sweet potato raw material cleaning to finished sweet potato starch screening and packaging using automated equipment. This reduces labor requirements; no manual labor is needed for actual production, only operation of the sweet potato starch processing equipment is required for quantitative production.
2. Investment Costs
There is also a difference in investment costs between simple and automated sweet potato starch production lines. Simple sweet potato starch production lines use less equipment, resulting in lower equipment purchase costs and lower overall investment costs. However, they are more susceptible to environmental factors, leading to unstable production.
3. Quality of Finished Sweet Potato Starch
The quality of the finished sweet potato starch produced by these two methods differs. In simple sweet potato starch production lines, some operations are performed manually, and the production process is easily affected by environmental factors. Therefore, the quality of sweet potato starch produced by simple lines is generally lower. Zhengzhou Jinghua Industry Co., Ltd.'s automated sweet potato starch production line uses a closed processing system. During the operation of the sweet potato starch processing equipment, the raw materials, slurry, and starch are less susceptible to environmental factors, ensuring the quality of the finished sweet potato starch. Furthermore, the automated sweet potato starch production line consists of a complete set of sweet potato starch processing equipment, operating automatically with computerized control, ensuring consistent quality of the finished sweet potato starch.
