Multiple Equipment Solutions for Cassava Flour Production

Cassava flour production is a complex process that involves several stages, from raw root cleaning to packaging. Each stage requires specialized machinery to ensure efficiency, product quality, and scalability.

In this article, Henan Jinrui, the leading manufacturer of cassava processing equipment, will give you multiple equipment solutions for cassava flour production, tailored to different scales of operations, from small farms to industrial factories.

In order to design an efficient cassava flour production equipment solution, we must understand the production process of cassava flour. Generally speaking, the production of cassava flour includes the following 6 core stages:

- Cleaning: Cleaning involves washing and peeling to remove dirt and peels from the cassava roots.

- Grinding: Crushing the cleaned cassava into a pulp.

- Dehydration: Removing excess water from the pulp.

- Drying: Reducing the moisture content to achieve the desired dryness.

- Milling & Sieving: Grinding the dried cassava into fine flour and removing any coarse particles.

- Packaging: Sealing the flour into bags for distribution and sale.

Key stages of cassava flour production

Stage 1: Cleaning

For small scale and even the new starters, can choose one main equipment peeling machine for cassava cleaning. Equipped with a peeling machine can greatly improve the production efficiency of cassava flour and also help investors reduce production costs.

For larger scale cassava flour production, Henan Jinrui recommends a complete equipment solution for cassava cleaning, starting with a feeding hopper, followed by a belt conveyor and a dry sieving machine, then processed by paddle washer and peeling machine to ensure thorough cleaning and peeling .

Stage 2: Grinding

For these small scale cassava flour processors, it's enough to select the roller grating machine as the equipment solution for cassava grinding, which are relatively simple in design, easy to operate, and can be powered by electricity or even a small - scale engine. They are suitable for small - to - medium - scale cassava processing, where the production volume is not extremely high.

If you want to start bigger capacity cassava flour processing business, selecting cutting machine and rasper as the grinding machine for cassava flour production is a more appropriate option. The combination of a cutter and a rasper can significantly improve the cassava crushing effect and the efficiency of cassava flour production. For example, Henan Jinrui's rasper can achieve a cassava grinding rate of 96%.

Stage 3: Dehydration

Removing moisture from the cassava pulp is a critical step in the production process. So choosing the suitable dewatering equipment solution for different capacity cassava flour production is important!

Semi-Automatic: A hydraulic press as dewatering machine is suitable for semi-automatic cassava flour processing line, combining manual labor to remove water.

Fully Automatic: For fully automated cassava flour line, a plate-frame filter press is ideal for dehydration process. This equipment is designed for large filtration plants requiring high automation and centralized control.

Stage 4: Drying

The drying process is also crucial for cassava flour production, the low moisture content of the cassava flour to a suitable level for milling and storage. Different drying equipment solutions are available for cassava flour production lines of different sizes.

Small-scale: Drying house is a batch type drying device for small scale cassava flour production line, which uses a burner as the hot supply, then remove the moisture inside the cassava powder.

Medium/Large-scale: The flash dryer is a common drying equipment choice for medium/large scale cassava flour making line. Henan Jinrui flash dryer is the option of most processors. It adopts negative pressure drying, and it only takes about 1 second from input to output, ensuring the yield of cassava flour while drying quickly.

Stage 5: Milling and Sieving

For the production of high-quality cassava flour, the dried cassava flour needs to be screened and milled. The cassava flour is screened by a sifter sieve so that the cassava flour particles that do not meet the high-quality standards enter the milling machine to ensure that the cassava flour particles are uniform. Therefore, the production of cassava flour also needs to be equipped with sieving machine and milling machine to ensure the consistent quality of cassava flour.

Stage 6: Packaging

There are many packing solutions provided by Henan Jinrui for cassava flour production line, according to the bags customer plan to sell to the market. Customer can choose the hand-sewing machine, 1-5kg packing machine and 25kg per bag packing machine or 50kg per bag packing machine to fill the bags.

The equipment solution for cassava flour production needs to be carefully planned according to the production scale, budget and market goals. Small producers can start with manual or semi-automatic machines, while large factories can benefit from fully automatic production line.
