The entire processing chain for cassava flour production

Cassava flour which can replace the wheat flour to meet local need in baking and making bread, is becoming more and more profitable in Africa. Then how to process cassava flour with lower cost and realize larger profit? Now this article will introduce the entire processing chain for cassava flour production.

The entire processing chain for cassava flour production varies in accordance with the different processing methods.

In the dry method, the entire processing chain for cassava flour production includes cleaning, peeling, chipping, drying and milling. This dry processing method for cassava flour, with lower construction cost, is more suitable for small-scale and home-use cassava flour production.

After cleaning and peeling the cassava tubers( you can decide to clean and peel the tubers by hand or by machines based on your budget), a cassava chips making machine will help to slice the cleaned cassava tubers into thick chips from 8-12mm. The chips then will be dried by sunlight. The dried cassava chips will be further put into a cassava milling machine, which will crush and grind the chips into coarse cassava flour. Cassava chips making machine and cassava milling machine cost thousand of dollars in small capacity.

The process of producing high-quality cassava flour begins with cleaning and peeling fresh cassava tubers using specialized machinery like a dry sieve, paddle washer, and cassava peeler. Once cleaned, the tubers are then processed in a cassava rasper to grind them into a slurry. This slurry is subsequently squeezed using a plate-frame filter press to remove excess water before being transferred to a flash dryer for drying. The final cassava flour product typically contains 8%-12% moisture content, meeting the standards for premium quality cassava flour production.

The above is the introduction to the entire processing chain for cassava flour production under two different processing methods. Henan Jinrui, has started the manufacturing of cassava machines since 2016, provides cassava processing machine, potato starch making machine, and sweet potato starch processing facility, and has a production base in China and a manufacturing factory in Nigeria.
