Whole cassava process flow can be divided into three parts: cleaning section, processing section and drying section.
Cassava flour process flow introduction
1.Cleaning section
Firstly cassava roots are loaded into feeding hopper, and then transported by belt conveyor to first cleaning machine dry sieve. Dry sieve machine can remove surface impurities attached on cassava roots and discharge dust from the bottom. The pre-cleaning cassava will drop down into paddle washing machine. The paddle washer can complete wash cassava and separate sand from bottom mesh. Finally peeling machine is used to remove the first and second layers of cassava roots.

2.Processing section
After cassava is cleaned and peeled, cassava will be transported to cutting machine. Cutting machine will cut full piece of cassava into small pieces and then rasper is used to crush the cassava pieces into mash. Rasper has high crushing efficiency, which can ensure fineness of final flour. After crushing, cassava mash will be pumped through de-sander machine to remove sand impurities. And then cassava material will be pumped into filter press machine for dewatering. After dewatering, we can get wet cassava cakes with moisture content around 40%.

3.Drying section
After dewatering, wet cassava cakes will be crushed again and then sent into flash dryer by screw feeder. In very short time, cassava flour drying is finished and moisture content of final flour will be decreased at 13-14%. According to buyer’s requirement, second stage dryer can be installed as optional to ensure lower moisture. Bellow the flash dryer, sieving machine will be installed to ensure uniform size and fineness of flour. And finally, automatic packaging machine is applied to pack flour into bags, after which cassava flour is ready to sale.
