Steps to make cassava starch

Steps to Make Cassava Starch:

1.Clean cassava roots: The raw cassava is first cleaned using a dry sieve to remove any foreign matter attached to the roots. This step does not require the use of water.  Then they will be transferred to a paddle washing machine which employs a backwashing method to further effectively remove sand, dirt, soil, and other impurities.

2. Grate cassava roots: The washed cassava is cut into pieces of 1-2 cm to prepare for the crushing operation. A high-efficient rasper is used to fully grate the cassava into pulp, resulting in a higher starch extraction rate and higher starch yield. A quality rasper can achieve a breaking rate of over 94%.

3. Separate cassava starch pulp: The raw starch pulp contains secondary substances that need to be separated through a series of steps. A centrifuge sieve is used to remove fibers from the starch pulp. A desander is to improve the taste and quality of the cassava starch by removing the potencial impurities, and a hydrocyclone station is configured to separate insoluble protein, residual soluble protein, and other secondary substances through concentration and refining, which ensures the purity and whiteness.

4. Dehydrate the concentrated cassava starch: Following the previous processes, the starch slurry still contains a significant amount of water. Dehydration is carried out to facilitate drying. A peeler centrifuge is commonly used for this step, with the moisture content of the wet starch needing to be reduced to below 40%.

5. Dry dehydrated cassava starch: The dehydrated starch is then dried to produce commercial-grade cassava starch. The starch enters a flash dryer through a screw conveyor, where it is separated from air in a cyclone separator, and the moist air is discharged by a draught fan.

6.Sieve dried cassava starch: The dried cassava starch is sieved using a vibration sieve to achieve the desired particle size.
