What is cassava processing, how to process cassava into starch ?

Cassava processing is the process of processing cassava into different industrial products. The main products of cassava processing includes: cassava starch, cassava flour, garri, cassava chips, cassava pellets, modified starch, food alcohol, fuel ethanol, starch sugar, enzymes, organic chemical products and etc,. The cassava processing products is up to 3,000 species, involving various fields of national economy and people's livelihood.

As an important cassava processing product, cassava starch is widely used in food, medicine, feed, textile, paper, chemical and other industrial sectors. But how to process cassava into starch ? Cassava starch production process is: first remove its impurities, and be crushed into slurry, then separate fibers, protein and impurities in starch slurry, and be dewatered, dried to be made into starch.


 

Here is the detail process of how to process cassava into starch

- Transportation & weighting: Transfer raw cassava from field into cassava starch processing plant, weighing cassava with a weighbridge, then store raw cassava into storage yard.

- Stone removal & washing: Due to fresh cassava roots spoil within 48 hours of harvest, it is essential to process it as soon as possible. Weighted cassava need firstly remove its impurities, like stone, sand, woods and so on for how to process cassava into starch. Then using water to wash away the residue impurities, such as dirt, soil and small sand debris. Clean raw material is the basis for cassava starch porcessing.


 

- Cutting & crushing: Cut cassava into small pieces so that it is easier to be crushed. Meanwhile, for how to process cassava into starch, another benefit of cutting is to reduce the burden of crushing machine and extend its service life. Cutted cassava is then crushed to release starch to the maximum extend. More starch released, more starch yield.

- Starch and slag separation: Crushed cassava slurry contains many impurities, this process of how to process cassava into starch mainly remove fibers out of slurry by screening method.

- Concentration and purification: For the question of how to process cassava into starch, starch whiteness is a key factor. Therefore the insoluble protein and residue soluble protein must be removed so that they do not interfere with the whiteness of starch. Hydrocyclone system is the international advaned equipment for starch slurry concentration, purifying and recycling.

- Starch dehydration: purified starch milk contains too much moisture so that it can not be dried directly. Dehydration is considered as the preparatory stage of drying for how to process cassava into starch, in which the excess water in the cassava milk is removed to meet the acceptable drying standards.


- Starch drying: Starch drying can be completed by varioous ways. The traditional natural sun drying obviously can not meet the high standards of modern cassava starch. Airflow drying is an efficient and rapid drying method alternative to natural drying. It featured with time saving, high efficient and high quality.

- Sieving & packing: To obtain uniform size starch, sieving is necessary for how to process cassava into starch. By sifting out large starch granules, the produced starch is more delicate. Then pack them into bags of 25kg or 50 kg for storage.

The process of how to process cassava into starch is a continuous production process, from fresh cassava to dry starch packaging, control in half an hour to complete, forming a pipeline, automated production.

Cassava as a tropical crops cultivated all around the world, it is an important food crop, feed and industrial raw material. In recent years, with the maturity of cassava processing industry, cassava processing has been an important way to promote cassava processing industry.

What factors affect the price of cassava starch processing plant ？

Image
For the majority of clients who want to set up a cassava starch processing plant, one of their main concern is that: What is the price of a complete set of cassava starch processing machine ? And what factors affect the price of cassava starch processing plant? Let's do a detailed analysis today. cassava starch processing plant Here are the main factors that determines the price of cassava starch processing plant 1. Single equipment or complete set of equipment: The unit price of single equipment is lower, while price of cassava starch processing plant in a whole set is relatively higher. However, it is necessary to consider the processing time, labor cost and other issues. In addition, the production of cassava starch is a complicated process. The single-machine equipment and small equipment occupy a large area and the sanitary conditions are limited. The whole set of cassava starch processing machine features with easy operation, automatic process, saving time and effort, a

Doing Company loading and delivery the cassava starch production line for one of our Nigeria customer in Aug, 2018. This set of cassava starch production line with capacity 5 ton per hour, these machines totally used three container cabinets. Below is the photos of this set of cassava processing machine loading and shippment from our factory: As early as the beginning of 2017, we have connected with this custonmer. After we got his requests for cassava starch processing machine , our engineer customize a suitable plan for him based on his requirement. He is very satisfied with our plan and keep in contact with our sales manager. After a year of negotiations, we received his deposit, letter of credit payment, then we completed the manufacture of set of cassava starch processing machine soonly, and cost 2 days for loading and delivery. Equipment loading The cassava starch processing machine will send to Qingdao port firstly, then from Qingdao port delivery to Nigeria by sea.
