The basic unit operations for how to produce cassava flour are as follows:

Sorting and weighing section: The cassava are firstly sorted in order to select the wholesome roots for the production process of how to produce cassava flour. Then the cassava are weighed by weighbridge.

Cleaning and washing section: As the basic step for how to produce cassava flour, cleaning and washing is the basis for ensuring the quality of starch. The main function of this section is to remove sediment from the outer layer of cassava and to wash away the sand, dirt and other contaminants of cassava root. The cleaner the starch, the better the quality.

Peeling section: Then the clean cassava are peeled by peeling machine for how to produce cassava flour. Due to irregular shape of cassava root, the peeling rate can not be ensured 100%. But with years of upgrading, DOING peeling machine peeling rate can reach up to 95%.

Grating section: Grating is the most important section for how to produce cassava flour. The cassava root is grated to cassava mash by rasper. And during the grating process, the structure of cassava is destroyed and the tiny granules inside cassava cells is released.

Dewatering section: The moisture content of the cassava mesh is reduced by plate frame filter press to about 40% to prepare for drying operation. For small scale production process of how to produce cassava flour, hydraulic press can be used to replace plate frame filter press to save cost.

Drying section: The cassava flour coming from dewatering process is then dried by flash dryer to meet the commercial standards for how to produce cassava flour. Flash dryer features with high efficient, short drying time and stable operation.
