How to produce both garri and cassava flour at the same time?

As an investor looking to produce both garri and cassava flour at the same time, you'll benefit from the fact that the initial stages of processing are shared by both products. Here's a step-by-step guide onhow to produce both, along with the machines you'll need:

Cleaning: The cassava tubes will be conveyed to a dry sieve from the feeding hopper by the belt conveyor to remove some weeds, leaves and mud on their surface.

Washing: The primary cleaned cassava roots will be washed in a paddle washing machine, which adopts the counter-current washing principle to remove dirt and leftover mud.

Peeling: A cassava peeling machine then will come in handy to peel the poisonous skin out of the washed cassava roots, ensuring efficiency and consistency.

Upto this point, the processes are identical for producing both garri and cassava flour at the same time. Now, they diverge into two different paths:

Garri and cassava flour processing flow

For garri production:

Grinding: The cassava grinder is the machine used in garri production line to grind the cassava roots into cassava mush.

Fermentation: The dewatered cassava mash is packed in a sack and left to ferment for afew days. This stage is crucial to reduce the cyanide content and impart the characteristic sour taste of garri.

Frying: The fermented cassava mash is fried using a garri frying machine, often a large flat pan or automated rotary fryer. The moisture content is further reduced in this step, and the garri begins to take on its final form.

Garri and cassava flour processing machines

For Cassava Flour Production:

Grating: The rasper is the equipment configured in the cassava flour production line, employed to grate cassava into cassava slurry, compared with garri grinder, this machine have higher crushing rate and can make sure the final fineness of cassava flour, suitable for cassava flour and cassava starch production.

Dehydrating: Instead of fermenting, the grated cassava mash is immediately dewatered using a hydraulic or filter press.

Drying: The dehydrated mash is then dried by a flash dryer to further reduce its moisture content. This machine, with its fully sealed design and negative pressure drying principle, can low the flour loss as well as improving the drying effect.

All in all, to produce both garri and cassava flour at the same time, you just additionally purchase a garri fryer and a cassava grater to achieve this aim. And for the sieving and packaging, because the machines can satisfy the both production, you can configure the machines according to your demand.

Producing both garri and cassava flour at the same time can maximize your returns from the cassava value chain because garri and cassava flour production are lucrative enterprises. However, the simultaneous production of both products requires careful planning and efficient management to ensure the smooth operation of both production lines.
