Cassava flour can be produced using either dry or wet processing methods. So what are the differences between dry and wet methods? Next we will explore the differences between these two method and the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Dry Processing Method of Cassava Flour

The dry processing method of cassava flour is the more traditional method. First of all, cassava tubers are peeled and cut into thick slices. After peeling, most of the water in raw cassava is removed by the belt dryer, and then the cassava slices are ground into powder to get finished cassava flour. This method means the lower investment cost, but relatively speaking, the cassava flour made is of low whiteness, high sand content, poor taste.

Wet Processing Method of Cassava Flour

The wet processing method of cassava flour is a more modern and automated method. It is divided into three major steps.The first is the cleaning section, the main task of this stage is to wash the cassava and then remove the inner and outer skin. The second is the processing section, which breaks up the peeled cassava as much as possible and then squeezes out part of the water inside through a dewatering machine. Finally, in the drying section, the extruded cassava is put into the airflow dryer to dry the cassava powder.

Compared with the dry processing method of cassava flour, the wet method has higher input cost, but the quality of the produced cassava flour is obviously higher than that of the dry method, which is suitable for large cassava flour production enterprises, with numerical control management to ensure a stable production process, short processing cycle, and high economic efficiency. Besides, the dry processing method can be more labor-intensive, as the cassava slices need to be manually loaded onto the belt dryer. In contrast, the wet method is more automated, and much of the processing is done by machines.

  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

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.

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
