How to make tapioca starch?

-

Tapioca starch is mainly used as raw materials in food, sugar, medicine, feed, textile, paper, chemical and other industrial sectors. The tapioca starch production process is a physical separation process, that is, separating the starch in the raw material from other substances such as fiber, inorganic matters and the so on. In the production process of how to make tapioca starch from cassava, according to the properties of starch is insoluble in water and the specific gravity of the starch, water and special mechanical equipment are used to separate the starch from the water suspension, thereby achieving the purpose of recovering the starch.

The production process of how to make tapioca starch from cassava is divided into the following part:

Weighing and conveying, cleaning, washing, grinding, separation, desanding, concentration and refining, dehydration, starch drying and packaging processes.

Unit 1.Raw material weighing and conveying

Due to the short storage time of cassava roots, it is essential to complete the entire process of how to make tapioca starch from cassava as soon as possible. The newly harvest cassava is firstly weighed by the weighbridge and stored in the cassava yard for storage. Then the weighted cassava is transported by a belt conveyor to cleaning machine for processing.

Unit 2. Cassava cleaning

Then it's time for the cleaning, which receives the raw material via belt conveyor. The machine used for cleaning is dry sieve whose main function is to remove the stone, weeds and other objects for the process of how to make tapioca starch from cassava. After that the cassava enters the washing process.

Unit 3. Cassava washing

After cleaning, the cassava is transported into paddle washing machine where the mud, dirt, soil and the skin of the cassava are removed. After the two process of cleanings and washing for how to make tapioca starch from cassava, the mud, sand and other impurities on the surface of the cassava have been basically removed, and the outer peeler are roughly removed.

Unit 4. Cassava grinding

In the processing of how to make tapioca starch from cassava, it is vital to release as much as free starch from cassava roots as possible. For the more free starch is obtained, the more starch yield is gained. Therefore grinding plays a vital role in the cassava yield. Rasper is the widely used cassava grinding machine whose main function is to destroy the structure of the cassava, so that the tiny starch granules can be released from the roots of the cassava.

Unit 5. Starch slurry and residue separation

The separation unit is the next step of the how to make tapioca starch from cassava, and the used machine normally comprises centrifuge sieve and fine fiber sieve. The main function of this process is to separate the fibers out of starch slurry. After this process, the starch has reached the commercial standard of finished product in terms of fineness.

Unit 6.Starch slurry desanding

The handling of the starch in this stage is mainly for removing sand out of starch slurry so as to improve the starch taste for how to make tapioca starch from cassava. Desander takes use of density separation method achieving the sand removing purpose.

Unit 7. Concentration and refining

The starch slurry after desanding process still contains organic and inorganic impurities such as protein, cell sap and so on, which need to be further processed for how to make tapioca starch from cassava. Hydrocyclone station is used for this purpose. Full hydrocyclone technology can achieve the concentration, refining and recycling of starch.

Unit 8. Starch milk dehydration

The function of this process for how to make tapioca starch from cassava is to reduce water content of starch slurry to meet the requirements of drying. Peeler centrifuge is a high efficient machine used for starch dehydration. After dehydration, the water content is about 38%-40%.

Unit 9. Starch drying and packing

The starch undergoes thorough drying process to meet the requirements of the commercial product for the process of how to make tapioca starch from cassava. After drying, the water content is about 14%.Then it is packed by semi-automatic packing machine for for marketing.

This is the entire process for how to make tapioca starch from cassava.

  Cassava is a type of carbohydrate that we can often see. In addition to simple baking, it can be processed into starch and then made into various foods or beverages and other uses. Therefore, for the special cassava starch production line. Companies need to choose the right equipment for high quality cassava starch production. Specifically, the techniques for selecting a cassava starch production line processing facility include the following aspects: 1. Select production process and cassava starch production line according to economic strength and market requirements There are many processing technologies for cassava starch production line on the market, such as full-swirl process, small and medium-sized simple processes, small and simple processes. The easy-to-use cassava starch production line manufacturers introduce some of them for large-scale production and use, and the starch quality is very good, the processing cost is relatively higher, and some are suita

Locally cassava meal processing machines in Nigeria

Locally made cassava meal processing machines in Nigeria mainly adopts two processing methods to assistant the production, the cassava meal dry process and wet process. Here is the comparison of the two methods. The procedures of cassava meal production with dry method: Locally made cassava meal processing machines in Nigeria, which adopts the dry processing method, has the procedures like that: fresh cassava roots cleaning and peeling, cutting or chipping, drying and milling. Alternatively, some opt to purchase dried cassava chips and use a single cassava milling machine to obtain cassava flour. Although locally made cassava flour machines are inexpensive, their quality and working speed are relatively low. As a result, they are only suitable for small-scale operations and yield poor-quality cassava flour. The procedures of cassava meal production with wet method: Locally made cassava meal processing machines in Nigeria use the wet processing method, which involves cleani

The main usage of cassava is food, animal feed, and industry processing and develop. [Read also: T he Cassava Processing Industry in Nigeria: Traditional Techniques, Technological Developments and New Opportunity ]  Cassava roots is one of the main raw material in the world for industrial starch production. Now, world harvested cassava, 65% used for food. As a raw material for the production of feed, rough cassava flour and leaves are a high-energy feed ingredient. In the fermentation industry, cassava starch or dried cassava chips can be used to make alcohol, citric acid, glutamic acid, lysine, cassava protein, glucose, fructose, etc. These products are widely used in food, beverage, medicine, textile (dyed cloth), paper making, etc. So as the question what are the end product of cassava, there don't have definite answer.
