How to make cassava starch from cassava roots ?

Starch is one of the most abundant substances in nature, a renewable and almost unlimited resource. Cassava starch is produced primarily by the wet milling of fresh cassava roots, but cassava starch can also be produced from dry cassava chips. Cassava starch is used to produce such diverse products as food, paper, textiles, adhesives, beverages, confectionery, pharmaceuticals, and building materials. The following is the introduction of how to make starch from cassava root.

Process of how to make starch from cassava root

The mechanized production of how to make starch from cassava root process as below:

- Cassava receival process

After the cassava is sent to the factory from the cassava farm. The cassava will be randomly selected to test the starch content in the cassava by using the object floating in liquid.Then the cassava wil be storage in yard of starch making plant wait for procecessing of how to make starch from cassava root.

- Cassava cleaning and washing process

The cassava through the quality inspection process will be sent to cassava cleaning machine to separate the soil and sand. After that, the cassava is transport to the washing machine to wash thus to get the cleaned cassava for next process of how to make starch from cassava root.

- Cassava wet milling process

The clean cassava is sent to the cursher and milling machine to cursh and mill the cassava with water into slurry to release the starch at most.This is the most vital process of how to make starch from cassava root.

- Starch extraction process

The cassava slurry will be pump into the centrifuge sieve to separate the cassava reside and crude starch milk.

- Starch concentration and refining of starch slurry

In order to produce the high quality of starch, the time taken for how to make starch from cassava root must be as short as possible. The crude starch milk that has been separated from the cassava residue will be passed through the hydrocyclone for concentration and refining to get the pure starch slurry.

Centrifuge sieve for starch extraction

- Dewatering of starch milk

The moisture content of pure starch slurry will be separated from the starch by using of peeler centrifuge for how to make starch from cassava root, which can effectively reduce the water content in starch from 60% to 38%.

- Drying and packing of starch product

The separated wet starch will then transport into a steam pipe with hot air from the furnace or steam boiler. It takes only a short period of time to dry the starch for how to make starch from cassava root, in order to prevent condensation of starch granules and on the other hand, to prevent decomposition of the starch as well.

Peeler centrifuge for cassava dewatering

The cassava starch received from the cyclone will being poured down the sieve, to get equal sizes of starch. The dried starch is then sifted through a sieve before being packed into bags with the automatic packing machine.Then the process of how to make starch from cassava root is finished.

Doing Company can supply the complete cassava starch making machine to make starch from cassava root to help the buyer get profit from the cassava. Your consult about how to make starch from cassava root is welcomed.
