Cassava flour is a staple food in many regions, particularly in Africa, South America, and Southeast Asia. For cassava flour commercial production, the wet method is widely adopted due to its efficiency, automation potential, and ability to preserve product quality. Henan Jinrui, specializes in providing advanced cassava flour processing solutions. This article outlines the essential equipment required for wet method cassava flour production, highlighting Jinrui’s technological advantages and project background.

Cleaning and peeling machine for cassava flour production

The wet method cassava flour process begins with thorough cleaning to remove dirt and impurities. The basic processing equipment includes a washing machine with a bottom sieve and butterfly valve for periodic cleaning, ensuring efficient dirt removal. After washing, the cassava is peeled using peeling machine, for cassava flour production with high efficiency. Henan Jinrui cassava peeling machine is the common processing equipment for cassava flour production on the market, which adopts sand roller peeling and equipped with water spray system, can achieve 90% peeling rate in a shorter time, increasing cassava flour processing efficiency and quality!

It's important to select suitable cassava grinding machine for cassava flour production, deciding the cassava flour yield. Henan Jinrui provides the basic processing equipment used for crushing stage in wet method cassava flour production, includes two-stage crushing equipment:

Primary Crushing: A cutting machine with diamond-shaped blades breaks the peeled cassava into smaller pieces. Jinrui’s blades are made of 4Cr13 stainless steel, ensuring longevity and food safety.

Secondary Crushing: For large-scale cassava flour production, a rasper is essential crushing equipment used in wet method cassava flour processing, which features a high-speed rotating drum (2000+ RPM) with toothed blades and a 2mm gap between the blades and rasping block. The bottom screen is designed with 1.8mm strip-shaped screen net openings to prevent clogging, achieving a 98% crushing rate, enhancing effectively the yield of cassava flour production.

Crushing equipment for cassava flour production

The dehydration process is also a critical step in cassava flour production, which is related to the quality of cassava flour. Taking the processing equipment of wet method cassava flour production provided by Henan Jinrui as an example, the crushed cassava needs to be desanded and dehydrated. The crushed cassava pulp is transferred to a settling tank with agitators to prevent starch sedimentation. A screw pump then transports the pulp to a desander, where sand is removed, ensuring the quality of cassava flour production. The purified pulp is sent to a buffer tank for further processing.

For dewatering, Henan Jinrui uses a plate-frame filter press, which reduces moisture content to 40%, significantly lower than traditional filter presses (60%). This innovation allows automatic feeding and unloading, reducing energy consumption and labor costs for cassava flour production.

The dehydrated cassava cake will enter the last stage of cassava flour production, the drying and packaging stage. The basic equipment used includes flash dryer, sieving machine and packaging machine.

Henan Jinrui's flash dryer adopts a negative pressure drying system to introduce hot air at 130-140°C through a heat exchanger. The drying duct adopts a pulse design (wide and narrow sections alternately) to slow down the flow of materials and improve drying efficiency. The moisture content of cassava flour is reduced to 12% in a short time, ensuring the high quality of cassava flour production. The dried cassava flour then passes through a cyclone separator to separate the cassava flour from the hot air. The cassava flour then enters a multi-layer sieving machine for cooling and screening. Standard cassava flour particles are directly packaged by a packing machine, and oversized cassava flour particles are recycled for further processing.
