Cassava starch production mainly includes cassava cleaning and washing, cassava cutting, cassava crushing, cassava starch extraction and cassava starch dewatering, cassava starch drying, cassava starch sieving and packing. And the fresh cassava will be transported to dry sieve and paddle washing machine to remove some dirt and surface impurities of the cassava, then cassava will cut into pieces by cutting machine. Cassava pieces will be crushed by rasper. Next the cassava slurry will go through centrifuge sieve and fine fiber sieve and disc separator in order to extract cassava starch. After that cassava starch will be dehydrated by peeler centrifuge. Then cassava starch will be dried by flash dryer, and then packed by packing machine.
