It is running with high rotation speed, and can grind cassava tubers to the most extend. In cassava flour production line, the rasper machine can ensure fineness of final flour. While In cassava starch production line, rasper machine is the key equipment to guarantee starch extraction rate.

Fine milling machine for grinding cassava

The last machine for grinding cassava is called fine milling machine. Different from other grinding machines, fine milling machine is the only machine that can be used for grinding dried cassava. Some clients use the machine to grind garri particles to get fine garri powder. And in traditional way of making cassava flour, the fine mill machine is used for grinding dried cassava or dried cassava chips.

To sum up, all of these machines introduced above are used for griding cassava. You can choose the most suitable equipment based on the finished product you are processing and the requirements for granularity.
