What are the steps of making cassava flour ?

Usually, fresh cassava can not be reserved for a long time. So many people process the cassava into garri, cassava starch and cassava flour. Cassava flour is a kind of main food of people in tropical areas, which incude Nigeria, Ghana,Guinnea and so on. Cassava flour can be reserved for a long time. But what are the steps of making cassava flour? The next will give the answer of the question.

Then what are the steps of making cassava flour? Following is the answer:

Step1: cassava cleaning and washing

This step is mainly done by cassava dry sieve and cassava washing machine. Dry sieve can remove some dirt and impurities of cassava. Then cassava will be transported by srew conveyer to paddle washing machine. paddle washing machine can uses its paddle to push these raw material moving forward. Then these cassava will flow in the water. So the cassava will be washed clean and completely.

Step 2: cassava peeling

Cassava are peeled by cassava peeling machine. The peeling rate is 95%. The peeling machine can not only peel the cassava, but also break some cassava. Thus the cassava can be grinded by cassava grinding easily.

Step 3: cassava grinding

Cassava grinding machine can grind the cassava into a kind of mush. In the step, we should pay attention to the input. We should not put to many cassava into the machine, so that the machine can run stablely. Cassava grinding machine has a high extarction rate and high efficiency.

Step 4:cassava mush dewatering

The cassava mush can be dewatered by plate& frame filter press or hydraulic press. some article which explain what are the steps of making cassava flour usually ignore this point. For large scale cassava flour processing line, plate&frame filter press will be used. While, for a small cassava flour processing line, hydraulic press will be adopted.

Step 5:cassava flour drying

Usually, after dewatering, cassava flour cake will be crushed by cassava grinding machine again. Then these cassava flour will be dryed by air flow flash dryer. The heating temperature of the machine can reach 160, so the cassava flour can be fully dryed.

Step 6:cassava flour sieving

Vibration sieve can sieve cassava fluor, and it can sift the big size flour or some sands out of cassava flour. The machine is automatic, so it can save labor. Finally, the finished cassava flour will be packed by packing machine.

In short, these are the main machines about the question what are the steps of making cassava flour. These machines can be controlled by automatic control system. The control system consists of MCC operation, OCC control cabinet, LCB cabinet and matached CCTV monitoring system. The system can put the industrial computer as the center to realize the visualized operation of central control room in production line.
