Cassava Processing Equipment

Muhammed Alhassan

Processing cassava into garri is relatively simple—it requires only that cassava roots are peeled, grated, and sieved, and then placed in a porous bag from which excess water can be squeezed out.

INTRODUCTION TO CASSAVA PROCESSING EQUIPMENT.

Processing of cassava for food involves combinations of fermentation, drying, and cooking. Fermentation is an important method common in most processings. While there are many fermentation techniques for cassava, they can be broadly categorized into solid-state fermentation and submerged fermentation.
Because cassava is not storable, it will begin to rot two or three days after harvest. Therefore cassava is often processed into more storable products like cassava starch, cassava flour, garri, cassava chips, etc. But what are the equipment for cassava processing ? This article will introduce you commonly used equipment for cassava processing.

What are equipment for cassava processing?

1. Cassava chips processing machine

This is the simplest cassava processing machine. If you want to process cassava chips for animal feed, a cassava chipping machine can get the work done. If you want to make cassava chips for making alcohol or for export, then you requires a cassava cleaner, a cassava peeler, a cassava chipping machine and a cassava chips dryer.

DOING company has a small-scale household cassava chipping machine, a large-scale industrialized cassava chipping machine and complete cassava chips processing line for you to choose from. Our cassava chipping machine is adjustable in thickness and high in slicing efficiency. The large-scale cassava chipping machine can handle 7 tons of cassava per hour.

2. Garri processing machine

The complete set of machines for garri processing include cassava cleaner, washer, peeler, cassava grater, hydraulic press, garri fryer, vibration sieve and packaging machine.

Garri processing can be automatic production line or combining manual processing with equipment. You can select any machines you need, and we can work out proposal for you based on your requirements.

3. Cassava flour processing machine

For cassava flour processing, we adopts world latest technology wet processing which can produce high quality cassava flour from fresh cassava tubers. The process of cassava flour production is cleaning, washing and peeling, crushing, de-sanding, dewatering, drying, sieving and packaging. Accordingly, the equipped machines are dry sieve, paddle washer, rasper, desander, plate frame filter press, flash dryer, sieving machine and packaging machine. We can provide you detail proposal based on your requirement for production capacity and your budget.

4. Cassava starch processing machine

In cassava starch processing plant, the whole process is divided into three parts: raw material cleaning section, starch extraction section and drying section. The mainly used equipment includes: dry sieve, paddle washer, rasper, centrifugal sieve, fine fiber sieve, desander, hydrocyclone system, peeler centrifuge, flash dryer.

If you want a whole production line, we can send complete proposal of specific capacity for your reference. Besides, we can also provide single starch equipment if you give us detailed specification.

In addition to the equipment we mentioned above, we can also supply machines for clients specific requirement for function. For example, if you want to crush cassava, we have three kinds of machines-grater, hammer mill and rasper. Based on your fineness requirements for crushed cassava, we can advice you which machine is good for your use. If you want drying machine, we have belt dryer and rotary drying machine for cassava chips, and flash dryer for powder form material like flour or starch.

If you want to process cassava and are looking for machines, please leave your detailed requirements, our sales manager will contact you and give you best solution for your review.

PRODUCTS FOR CASSAVA PROCESSING EQUIPMENT.

Cassava Crusher

During the production process of fresh cassava, the crushing section is very important for the quality of final products, the cassava crusher machine for starch processing can crush the washed cassava.
