How to process cassava fufu powder from cassava roots?
Cassava fufu powder is made of fresh cassava tubers, and it’s the main food in some African countries like DR Congo, Nigeria, Ghana, etc. Because of its good taste, there is a large demand for cassava fufu powder in the market. Therefore, more and more people are interested in investing in one factory to produce fufu flour. The article will give you a brief introduction to how to make cassava fufu powder.
Traditionally, people do cassava fufu powder by hand. Firstly people clean and peel raw cassava roots that are harvested from the farm, then cut into small pieces. And then put these cassava pieces into the water pool for steeping some time. The purpose of steeping is fermentation. After fermentation, use a manual presser to dehydrate cassava and get cassava wet cakes. The next is to break wet cassava cakes and dry them with natural sunlight. The process is not complicated, but it takes a long time to finish from raw cassava to cassava fufu powder.
Henan Jinrui Company is a professional manufacturer and supplier of cassava processing equipment. We already successfully designed an automatic production line for cassava fufu powder making and installed such a plant in DR Congo. The following is a brief introduction to the process and equipment.
Cleaning section
Firstly cassava roots are put into feeding hopper and then transported to dry sieve machine by belt conveyor. The dry sieve machine can remove surface impurities. And then cassava will drop down into paddle washer machine for thorough washing
Processing section
Cleaned cassava will be sent into the cutting machine first and we can get small cassava pieces, and then these cassava pieces will drop down into the rasper machine, from which we can get cassava mash. Cassava mash will be pumped into fermentation tanks. Fermentation time depends on local conditions and requirements. After fermentation, cassava pulp will be pumped into a plate-and-frame filter press machine for dehydration. Finally, we can get wet cassava cakes from the filter press machine.
Drying section
Wet cassava cakes will be crushed by hammer mill into wet powder first, and then the wet cassava powder will be sent into the flash dryer for final drying, from which we can get dried cassava powder with moisture contact of around 12%. To ensure the high fineness of the final flour, fine milling machine, and sieving machine are installed consequently after drying. A packaging machine is installed at the end to pack the final cassava fufu powder, and then they will be ready to sell to the market.
The cassava fufu powder production line from Henan Jinrui company can achieve fully automatic production at a large scale. If you are interested in setting up such a factory, feel free to contact us to get more details.
