What equipment is needed to produce cassava flour?

Cassava flour,also known as tapioca flour, is widely used in both the food and non-food industries,including alcohol, fructose, beer, biscuit, resin, paint and other chemical products. With such a huge market demand, the establishment of cassava flour processing plant to produce cassava flour can bring considerable income. So what kind of equipment is needed to produce cassava flour?

Generally speaking, the cassava flour processing equipment mainly includes dry sieve, paddle washing machine,cutting machine, rasper, plate-frame filter press, and flash dryer.

Cassava flour production process

①Dry sieve and paddle washing machine are needed to clean cassava raw material.

The cleaning degree of the raw materials directly affects the operation of the follow-up work and the quality of the finished cassava flour. In the cleaning stage, dry sieve and paddle washing machine are used to clean cassava raw materials. First of all, you can use the dry sieve to remove the weeds and small stones. And then the surface sediment and impurities in cassava can be effectively removed through a paddle washing machine. It is worth mentioning that in order to further improve the quality of finished cassava flour, Henan Jinrui Company can customize the design of cassava flour processing equipment with peeling effect in the cleaning process.

②Cutting machine and rasper are needed to crush the cassava.

The crushing stage is a very important constituent part in cassava flour production process. The higher the crushing degree of raw materials, the higher the fineness of finished cassava flour. In the crushing stage, the cassava raw material is pre-crushed into small pieces by cutting machine. And then the cassava small pieces are transported to the rasper to be ground into pulp. At this stage, the crushing rate of cassava can reach 94%, which greatly improves the fineness of finished cassava flour.

③The plate-frame filter press is needed to dehydrate cassava pulp.

The machine used in the dehydration stage is the plate-frame filter press,which is mainly used for dehydrating cassava pulp into wet cassava flour powder to facilitate drying. Plate-frame filter press is a highly automated or centralized control of large filtration device, and it can achieve automatic pressure, filtration, drainage, extrusion, loosening and other operations. According to the clients’ feedback,the plate-frame filter press can dehydrate the cassava pulp to cassava powder with 40% water content.

④The flash dryer is needed to dry the cassava powder.

The drying stage is the final step in the process of cassava flour production, and the drying equipment is the flash dryer. The flash dryer adopts the principle of instantaneous drying, which can complete the drying task within 1-2 seconds. In addition, Henan Jinrui Company also configures the negative pressure drying system on this basis, which can effectively control the loss of dust cassava flour, thus improving the yield of cassava flour.
