Cassava processing in Africa is pervasive. For example, the most common products cassava starch and cassava flour as well as garri are all made from fresh cassava.

Garri processing are divided into seven part, including cleaning, peeling, grating, pressing, fermentation, frying and sieving. Due to cassava is irregular with long tubers which attaches much soil and weed, Henan Jinrui Food Company adopts two grades cleaning machine.

Next step is very important for garri processing, fermentation, you can put cassava pulp into bags and let it under fermentation for 2-3days. After that, you need to dewater that cassava pulp. Dewatering cassava pulp will become cassava cake. You need to crush them. One crushing machine is called hammer mill machine which is used to crush cassava cake into powder. Now come to the frying and sieving, this part will need to use garri fryer and vibration sieve. Garri fryer is fully automatic machine which can relieve you hands when frying garri. And if you need more smaller particle garri, vibration sieve can help you achieve it.

As you can see, mechanized machines for garri processing have several steps same as manual processing. However, mechanized processing is more beneficial and save time. Henan Jinrui Food Company, with more than 10 years experience, matched different capacity machine according clients’ requirements.
