Complete cassava starch processing machinery

Cassava starch processing machinery are a set of equipment used to process cassava root into starch through washing, grating, slag and starch separation, starch slurry refining, starch milk dewatering and drying. In modern cassava starch plant, cassava starch procesing machine is the essential part for cassava starch making.

Cassava starch processing machinery

Here is the introduction of cassava starch processing machinery:

Step 1 conveying: The harvested cassava roots are firstly be conveyed into cassava starch plant. Within two days, they are conveyed to cassava starch processing machinery for starch production.

Step 2 washing: When processing, cassava is cleaned by a dry sieve to remove large dirt first, then use a washing machine to wash away impurities attached on cassava peels.

Step 4 cassava grating: Grating cassava into smooth mash by using cassava starch processing machinery, the starch granule is thereof released.

Step 5 cassava extracting: The mash is discharged into a starch extractor to extract the starch.

Step 6 refining: Hydrocyclone unit is the most advanced cassava starch processing machinery for starch concentration and refining, 12-18 group hydrocyclone system is generally adopted.

Step 7 dewatering: The supernatant water in starch milk need to be dehydrated for easy drying.

Step 8 drying: The wet starch cake is mechanically reduced in size to produce fine granules of greater surface area.

The granulated cake is mechanically dried in a mechanical dryer to reduce its moisture content to about 14% for easy storage.

Step 9 milling: The dried product is milled by cassava starch processing machinery to desired particle size (if necessary).

Step 10 packaging: Using a packaging machine to pack cassava starch appropriately for sell.

Starch is an important raw material for a range of industries including textile, paper, adhesive, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food. The demand for starch usually increases as countries become more and more developed. For instance about 34 million tones of starch was traded worldwide in 1993, of which cassava starch account for 11%. Besides, cassava starch has unique characteristics that make it preferable to starch from other crops; It has a low gelatinization temperature, produces clear thin boiling gels and has good resistance to retro gradation.

The existence of many small scale cassava starch plants scattered around the country is a business opportunity for transport and warehousing entrepreneurs. It also makes it possible for the development of large scale trading of cassava products, including for export. For a low cost commodity such as cassava, it is only when there is a reservoir of large quantities of product of uniform quality that large scale domestic utilization or export can be successfully undertaken. To bring this about necessitates coordination between the various stakeholders: industrial users, cassava starch processing machinery manufacturers, farmers, credit institutions, transporters and policy makers.
