Cassava starch production machine

Starch is the main content of cassava tubers, therefore raw cassava is good material that can be used in starch production. Our company adopts advanced wet processing technology and can provide high automatic cassava starch production machine. Generally speaking, cassava starch processing machine can be invided into three sections: cleaning section, process section and drying section.

1. Cleaning section: Cleaning section is the first part in all cassava processing plant and it's called pre-treatment of raw materials. Cassava starch processing machine used in cleaning section are hopper, vibration unloading machine, belt conveyor, dry sieve and paddle washing machine. Firstly raw cassava tubers are put into the hopper, then they are transfered into dry sieve machine by belt conveyor. Under the bottom of hopper, there would be furnished with vibration unloading device, which can avoid raw material blocking in the hopper. As for cleaning of cassava, dry sieve function is to remove impurities that attached on raw material surface, and furthermore paddle washing machine will wash raw material thoroughly with water.

2. Process section: Process section is the most important and key part in cassava starch production line. Cassava production machine used in this section are cutter, rasper, centrifuge sieve, fine fiber sieve, de-sander, hydrocyclone station.Among these cassava starch production machine, cutting machine and rasper are for raw material crushing, centrifuge sieve and fiber sieve for fiber separation, and hydrocyclone station for starch slurry refining and concentration. Firstly cassava tubers after washing section goes into the cutting machine for pre-crushing. Then crushed small particles fall down into the rasper machine for completely crushing. Starch granules will be released after crushing part. After that crushed cassava mash is sent to the centrifuge sieve and fine fiber sieve machine to separate fiber impurities as much as possible. Following there is de-sander machine to eliminate sand and small stones. Until then solid impurities are separated, starch slurry will be pumped into the hydrocyclone to isolate liquid impurities like proteins, fats, etc. In the process section, all cassava starch production machine is ensured that material contact part are made of food grade stainless steel. The process section is also called starch extraction part, which includes the main equipment that influence starch extraction rate.

3. Dying section: Drying section is the last part of cassava starch production machine. In this process, peeler centrifuge, flash dryer, starch sifter and packaging machine. After we get purified starch slurry from hydroclone, slurry will be pumped into the peeler centrifuge for further dewatering process. Special design inside makes starch separate with water and comes out we can get wet starch with moisture content around 38-40%. After dewatering, there still exist quantities of water for the starch and needs further drying to achieve standard for finished starch parameters. Flash dryer is one of the most important cassava starch production machine, whicih is one kind of high efficiency drying machine that can achieve drying material in seconds. Negative pressure is adopted in this drying system, which can reduce starch loss at exhaust pipe and ansure a cleaning environment as well. Furthermore, automatic control system can take good control of temperature and input capacity, which can ensure stable quality of finished starch. Output starch moisture content will be around 12-14%, which can meet basic standard for starch.
