What is cassava granule? How to make cassava granule?

Cassava granule is also called garri, which is main edible food in West African countries like Nigeria, Ghana, Cameroon, Sierra Leone, Liberia, etc. It is produced from fresh cassava roots through cleaning, washing, peeling, grating, fermentation, dehydration, frying and sieving. Normally 3-4 tons fresh cassava roots can produce 1 ton garri as final product.

Henan Jinrui company is professional manufacturer and supplier of cassava processing equipment, which has been working in the filed for almost 10 years. Our engineer designed and developed cassava equipment for cassava granule (garri) production from beginning to the end, which greatly improve working efficiency and production capacity.

How to make cassava granule by using equipment from Henan Jinrui?

Raw cassava cleaning, washing and peeling

Firstly fresh cassava tubers are put into a feeding hopper, and through bottom vibrate device cassava are sent to the belt conveyor and then to the first cleaning equipment dry sieve. Dry sieve machine will remove surface impurities attached on cassava. And then cassava will drop down into paddle washer machine. Paddle washer will clean cassava roots thoroughly by using water. After that, washed cassava will be sent to peeling machine. The newly designed sand roller peeling machine from Henan Jinrui could remove the first and the second layers of cassava, which is proved to be the most effective peeling machine in the market.

Dewatering, frying and sieving

After fermentation, hydraulic presser machine is used to dehydrated cassava mash, and from which we will get wet cassava cakes with moisture content around 40%. Firstly use crusher machine to break cakes into wet powder, and then adopt garri fryer machine to fry wet powder and get cassava granule as final product. To ensure high quality and uniform particle size, vibration sieve machine is installed followingly to separate coarse flour. Sometimes, cooling system is installed after frying process to reduce temperature of final product.
