How is tapioca made from cassava ?

DOING manufacturing workshop

The following part will describe the process about the question how is tapioca made from cassava. The whole process consists of washing and cleaning, cutting and crushing, tapioca screening and washing, dehydration,desanding, drying , sieving and packaging.

Step 1. cassava washing and cleaning

Fresh cassava is the first key guarantee in the process of how is tapioca made from cassava. Dry sieve is to remove a portion of cassava sediment, and then feed the material into paddle washing machine. Paddle washing machine then rotates its paddle to wash raw material with water. It adopts counter-current principle, then cassava will be washed clean.

Step 2. cassava cutting and crushing

Put the clean cassava into the cutting machine and then into the file grinder for the breaking process. The role of fragmentation is to destroy the structure of cassava, so that small starch particles can be separated from cassava tubers. Rasper is a kind of high speed crusher. It has the advantages of compact structure, smooth operation, easy installation, easy maintenance and so on. So the chopped cassava was processed into starch pulp.

Step 3. Tapioca screening and washing

The broken tapioca pulp passed through the 0.08 sieve . The tapioca milk is separated from the fiber by centrifuge sieve and fine fiber sieve in succession. In the process about how is tapioca made from cassava, the two machines can remove cell liquid and fiber and improve the tapioca milk concentration.

Step 4. Tapioca milk de-sanding

In the process about how is tapioca made from cassava, disc separator and hydrocyclone unit plays key roles in the tapioca production. Since the specific gravity of mud and sand is larger than that of water and starch particles, so it is effective to separate mud and sand by hydrocyclone unit device by pressure pump, and the mud, sand, top and bottom mud were removed by hydrocyclone unit , and the purpose of swirling sand removal was achieved.

Step 5. Tapioca milk refining

Disc separator is based on the water, starch, yellow pulp specific gravity of the principle of separation. It takes only a few minutes to complete the whole process of washing and condensing tapioca milk. The machine is also important in the process of how is tapioca made from cassava.

Step 6. Tapioca dehydration

Dehydration must be carried out in order to improve the drying efficiency. Through the high-speed rotation of the peeler centrifuge, most of the moisture is thrown out of the filter gap of the screen. The moisture content of wet tapioca should be lower than 35% in order to save energy, reduce cost and improve yield and quality.

Step 7. Tapioca drying

Flash dryer adopts negative pressure and cooling system, so the drying time is very short. And the workshop can be guaranteed clean.he moisture of final product is about 12%.

Step 8. Tapioca sieving and packing

After drying, the finished cassava starch will be sieved by sieving machine. Then the tapioca will be packed by automatic packing machine. Storage products should be divided into piles, the warehouse should be moisture-proof treatment.

This is whole process about the question how tapioca is made from cassava. And the machine all are made from Henan Doing company in China. And the machine are in high quality, so our customers in African countries usually do not worry about the durability of the machines.
