Professional Cassava Starch Production Line - China

Production of cassava starch is primarily by the wet milling of fresh cassava roots but in some countries such as Thailand it is produced from dry cassava chips.

Starch is the main constituent of cassava.

About 25% cassava starch may be obtained from mature, good quality tubers.

About 60 % cassava starch may be obtained from dry cassava chips and about 10 % dry pulp may be obtained per 100 kg of cassava roots.

Fresh cassava tubers are processed during season and dry chips during the off-season in some countries.

Extraction of starch from fresh cassava roots can be divided into five main stages: preparation (cassava peeling and washing), cassava rasping/pulping/grating, purification (cassava starch washing), cassava dewatering and drying, and finishing (milling and packaging).

For cassava, the process of cassava starch extraction is relatively simple as there are only small amounts of secondary substances, such as protein, in the roots.

When cassava roots are harvested or selected for starch extraction, age and root quality are critical factors.

Cassava roots need to be processed almost immediately after harvest, as the roots are highly perishable and enzymatic processes accelerate deterioration within 1-2 days.

A first-rate quality starch can be obtained from cassava using only water, and this makes the processing of cassava starch and flour particularly suitable for developing countries and rural industries.

Following is introduction about cassava starch production line:

Here is the introduction of cassava starch production line:

Cassava starch production line step 1- sorting: The roots are sorted to select wholesome roots for processing.

Cassava starch production line step 2- weighing: The sorted roots are weighed.

Cassava starch production line step 3- cassava peeling: The roots are peeled to remove the peels.

Cassava starch production line step 4- cassava grating: The peeled roots are grated to produce a smooth mash.

Cassava starch production line step 5- cassava extracting: The mash is discharged into a starch extractor to extract the starch.

Cassava starch production line step 6- sedimentation: The starch milk is allowed to settle forming two layers i.e. the top free supernatant liquid and the thick starch slurry.

Cassava starch production line step 7- dewatering: The supernatant layer of liquid is removed by siphoning off the liquid with rubber hose and the thick slurry obtained is dewatered to reduce its moisture content.

Cassava starch production line step 8- granulating: The “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 8 – 10 per cent.

Cassava starch production line step 9- milling: The dried product is milled to desired particle size (if necessary).

Cassava starch production line step 10-packaging: The starch is packaged appropriately.
