The full set cassava fufu processing line consists of three parts: cleaning, processing, and drying.
Cleaning part of cassava fufu processing line
This is a necessary step for all kinds of cassava processing factories. The machines include feeding hopper, dry sive, and paddle washer machine. Firstly newly harvested raw cassava tubers will be put into a feeding hopper, and then through the bottom vibration device, they will be sent to the belt conveyor at uniform speed. After that, cassava roots will be cleaned firstly in a dry sieve machine and then washed completely in a paddle washer machine.
Processing part of cassava fufu processing line
The machines include peeling machine, cutting machine, fermentation tanks and plate-and-frame filter press.
Different from other cassava products, cassava fufu processing requires cassava roots to be peeled well. A sand roller design peeling machine is adopted here, which can remove the first and second layers of cassava roots. And then, peeled cassava will be sent into the cutting machine. The cutting machine will cut full pieces of cassava into small pieces. Small cassava pieces will be collected and conveyed by bucket elevator to several stainless steel tanks for the fermentation process. Fermentation time can last 24 hours. After fermentation, cassava materials will be transported to the rasper machine for complete crushing. Then cassava pulp will be pumped into a plate-and-frame filter press for dehydration purposes. After dehydration, we can get wet cassava cakes with a moisture content of around 40%.
Drying part of cassava fufu processing line
The machines include flash dryer, fine miller machine, and sieving machine.
The wet cassava cakes will be crushed into fine powder first, and the wet powder will be sent to a flash dryer machine for the last step of drying. After drying, we will get dried powder with a moisture content of around 14%, which is in good condition for storage. To get high quality cassava fufu, a fine miller machine will be used after the dryer, and crush dried powder again. Finally, a sieving machine will be used to separate coarse powder particles and get high quality cassava fufu as the end product. If you want, a packaging machine can be matched to pack cassava fufu into bags automatically.
