Henan Jinrui often receives such a question: "Can I produce garri and cassava flour together on the same cassava processing line?" Our answer is yes. You can efficiently produce both garri and cassava flour on the same integrated cassava processing line with modular design and flexible configuration, a cost-effective solution for cassava processors looking to diversify products and maximize raw material utilization.

The Integrated Cassava Processing Line for Both Garri and Cassava Flour Production

A dual-purpose cassava processing line is engineered around a shared pre-processing circuit that branches into dedicated downstream modules.

Stage 1: Shared Cassava Pre-Processing (For Both Garri and Cassava Flour)

The initial steps including (cleaning, peeling, and grating) are identical for garri and cassava flour, forming the efficient core of your operation:

Cleaning: Cassava roots are thoroughly cleaned and scrubbed in a dry sieve and paddle washer to remove all soil and impurities.

Peeling: Mechanical cassava peelers ensure complete skin removal for a clean, white product base.

Grating: High-capacity cassava graters break down the roots into a fine pulp, releasing the starch.

Stage 2: Diverging Processing Paths(For Garri and Cassava Flour Respectively)

After grating, the cassava pulp is directed based on the target product:

For Premium Garri Production:

Fermentation & Dewatering: The cassava pulp is fermented, then pressed in a hydraulic press to remove excess water.

Frying & Sieving: The dehydrated cassava pulp is then roasted in an automated garri fryer for consistent drying and flavor, followed by grading via vibration sieve to achieve the desired granule size (fine for eba or coarse for soakings).

For High-Quality Cassava Flour:

Dewatering & Drying: The grated cassava pulp is dewatered by a plate-frame filter press and then dried instantly in a flash dryer.

Milling & Packaging: The dried material is reground into fine, uniform cassava flour and packaged.

Key Advantages of Henan Jinrui's Integrated Cassava Processing Line

Investing in a single, flexible cassava processing line for both garri and cassava flour offers compelling benefits:

Cost & Space Efficiency: You invest in one shared pre-processing section instead of two separate complete lines, significantly reducing capital expenditure and factory footprint.

Seamless Switching & Scalable Capacity: The downstream modules (dewatering, drying/frying, milling) feature standardized connections, allowing for quick switching or simultaneous operation with simple adjustments. This supports both batch and continuous dual-production modes. The modular design enables flexible capacity expansion, perfectly matching needs from small-scale startups to large industrial operations.

Maximized Raw Material Use: Process all cassava grades optimally, directing them to the most suitable product line to minimize waste.

Simplified Management: Operate and maintain one integrated system with standardized components, streamlining training and reducing spare part inventory.
