Equipment used for pupuru flour production

Pupuru is a staple food in Nigeria and there is a large market to be developed, but there is a difference between the processing of Pupuru flour in large quantities and large-scale industrial production. There are three main sections: the cleaning section, the processing section and the drying section. Next we will introduce the accurate equipment used for pupuru flour production in these different sections.

Washing section

In the washing section, the equipment used for pupuru flour production are a dry sieve, a paddle washer, and a peeling machine. Fresh cassava is fed through a dry sieve to remove weeds and other foreign matter and then sent to a paddle washer to wash off the sediment and accompanying stones. After that, the clean cassava is sent to the peeling machine to remove the inner and outer skins. This is the end of the cleaning section.

Processing section

After peeling, the rasper and plate frame filter press are the main equipment used for pupuru flour production in the processing section. The cassava is cut into small pieces by the cutting machine and then sent into the frustration mill to be beaten into fine cassava pulp, which is sent into the fermentation tank or ground pool for fermentation for about two days. This is the biggest difference from the traditional processing. Compared with fermentation after cutting, crushing into pulp and then fermentation can reduce the storage space and the difficulty of transporting to the next processing facility after fermentation. After fermentation, the cassava pulp is pumped into the plate frame for dewatering by a screw pump to complete the entire processing section.

Drying section

What is the equipment used in this section for pupuru flour production? The answer is the flash dryer. After dewatering, the Pupuru flour is crushed into powder by the powder cake crusher and then sent into the two-stage airflow dryer by the hoist for drying, the humidity is reduced to below 14%, and the finished product is crushed twice by the fine crusher to ensure the quality of the finished product. The whole process of Pururu flour is completed. In addition, different clients can choose to configure a sieve and a packing machine according to your different requirements.
