How Many Bags of Cassava Flour Can One Ton of Fresh Cassava Process? (2kg/Bag as Example)

Image
  Theoretically, 4 tons of fresh cassava can be processed into 1 ton of cassava flour, which means that 1 ton of fresh cassava can be processed into 250 kilograms of cassava flour. If we use 2KG/bag packaging to pack the cassava flour, it means that 1 ton of fresh cassava can eventually produce 125 bags cassava flour. We say that 1 ton of fresh cassava can be processed into 125 bags of cassava flour(2 kg per bag), which is achievable under very ideal conditions. However, in the production process of cassava flour, the output of cassava flour is often affected by many factors. The following is a simple analysis of the factors affecting the output of cassava flour by Henan Jinrui. Cassava flour yield Factors Affecting Cassava Flour Yield 1.

What is the difference between Garri and Attieke?

Image
West Africa’s culinary landscape is dominated by cassava, but its transformation into staples like garri and attiéké reveals profound differences in processing methods, nutrition, taste, and regional preference. what is the difference between garri and attieke? 1.Difference between the Processing Methods of Garri and Attieke Garri: Fermentation & Frying: Peeled cassava roots are grated and fermented for 24 hours (developing a sour taste), then pressed by a hydraulic press to remove moisture. Then the wet cassava mush by will fried by a fryer to become qualified garri particles. Attiéké: Fermentation & Steaming: Cassava is peeled, grated, fermented (often 1–2 days), then pressed into a moist attieke paste. The paste is granulated by hand, sieved, and steamed—similar to couscous preparation. This yields a soft, fluffy semoule attieke (semolina-like texture). garri and attieke process difference 2.Different Nutrition Value Between Garri and ...

2025 Hot Sale! Cassava Peeler vs Manual: Quality, Yield & ROI Boost!

Image
In the dynamic world of cassava processing, the year 2025 brings an exciting opportunity to revolutionize your operations. The choice between manual cassava peeling and using a high - quality cassava peeler can significantly impact the quality of your end - products, overall yield, and return on investment (ROI). Manual cassava peeling is a labor - intensive and time - consuming process. Workers have to painstakingly remove the cassava peel, which is not only back - breaking but also results in low productivity. For instance, in Ghana, cassava peeling has long been a major manual activity, and studies have shown that the inefficiency of manual peeling has hindered the growth of the cassava - based industry. Manual peeling often leads to inconsistent results in terms of peel removal and flesh loss. The quality of peeled cassava can vary greatly, which is a major drawback, especially when catering to markets with high - quality standards. Enter the cassava peeler, a game - changer in t...

What are methods for extraction of starch from potato?

Image
Generally speaking, the extraction methods of potato starch are divided into traditional and modern methods, which means the precipitation method and the hydrocyclone staged extraction method. Now we will introduce the two methods for extraction of starch from potato to you. 1. Traditional method for extraction of starch from potato--the precipitation method Traditional method for extraction of starch from potato is to use the precipitation method to extract potato starch, that means the potato starch is extracted from the sedimentation tank through natural precipitation. After the potatoes are washed and broken into pulp, the starch mixture is placed in the sedimentation tank for 24-48 hours. In the period, due to the different proportions of starch, protein, sediment, and cell fluid, these non-starch substances floats on the top of the water and then are discharged with the current. Then the potato starch that precipitates and coagulates into blocks is obtained at the bottom of the...

Four Key Factors Affecting Production Efficiency in Potato Starch Processing Lines
