How many tons Garri can a ton of cassava produce?

Garri is a fermented and gelatinized dry semolina that is very popular in West Africa and is a staple food in Nigeria, Ghana, Benin and Togo. The considerable profit that Garri processing industry can bring has attracted the attention of many investors. When planning the specifications of the Garri processing plant, it is easy to wonder how many tons of Garri can be produced by one ton of cassava.

Generally speaking, the ratio of cassava raw materials to Garri products is 4:1, which means that 1 ton of raw materials can produce 0.25 tons of Garri. In fact,Garri production output will be affected by the processing way and processing equipment configuration.

①Processing way

A.Manual & homemade way

In Nigeria, there is not too much mechanical for Garri processing, just one grinder & Jack presser, fryer by manual. Taking one ton Garri processing for example,the cassava roots consumption will be almost 3.8-4.0 tons fresh roots for one ton of Garri, because peelings lost much than mechanical.

B.Mechanical way

From the perspective of process design and mechanical design, 95% of Garri processing can be finished mechanically. When the Garri processing equipment was designed, the handling ratio depends on 4 tons to 1 ton. However, according to Henan Jinrui's Garri project installation experience in Africa and some feedback from Nigerian customers, the cassava roots consumption is almost 3.3-3.5tons for one ton Garri if the high quality Garri processing machine is adopted while processing.

②Processing equipment configuration

Under the same cassava raw material supply, different equipment configurations will also affect Garri's production output. The cassava skin is hard and the inside is fragile. There are two layers of skin. The first brown skin is very thin and easy to remove, but it has always been a problem to fully remove the second hard stratum corneum without damaging the inside.

Different from the cassava peeler equipped with steel brush, plastic brush and nail roller on the market, this cassava peeler produced by Henan Jinrui is equipped with emery roller. The equipment has the characteristics of low cassava loss, high peeling rate, stable equipment and convenient maintenance.Therefore, relatively speaking, the same raw materials and highly equipped equipment can help produce more Garri.
