cassava starch processing machinery manufacturers in india

The main uses of cassava are in food, feed and industrial development. Root starch is one of the main starch raw materials in the industry. 65% of the world's total cassava production is used for human food and is the main food crop for low-income farmers in tropical wetlands. As a raw material for the production of feed, cassava meal and leaves are a high-energy feed ingredient. In the fermentation industry, tapioca starch or dried tablets can be used to make alcohol, citric acid, glutamic acid, lysine, cassava protein, glucose, fructose, etc. These products are used in food, beverage, medicine, textile (dyed cloth), paper making, etc. Both have important uses. Mainly used as feed and extracted starch in China.

Firstly, we will introduce what is tapioca starch?

Tapioca Starch is tapioca ground into a fine flour. Tapioca is the ground root of the Cassava plant.Tapioca starch contains none of the substances that grain-based starches do which can mask tastes. It makes a very clear gel.

Commercial food processors sometimes use a tapioca starch called "native tapioca starch." This is tapioca starch that hasn't been "modified" through further processing to make it dissolve more quickly; it must be cooked. Nor does it have the same thickening power as the tapioca starch we consumers use: almost 50% more of it is needed. Food processors use native tapioca starch in thickeners, gels and as a stabilizer; it can't be used in foods that will be frozen.

For another, in the process of starch production from cassava, the main technology process as below:

Procedure 1: Cleaning and washing(click to see the video)

Cassava cleaning usually adopt the two section process for starch production from cassava. Dry sieve can effectively remove dirt, sand and small stones, it has the ability to avoid sewage disposal. According to multiple spiral operation, paddle washing machine can remove silts and impurities from the surface of cassava. This section can be performed manually. The first starch production from cassava is able to clean the outer peel, at the same time the very superficial peel of cassava will be simply handled.

Procedure 2: Crushing to get starch slurry

Doing Company advanced crushing machine rasper used for starch production from cassava can make the starch extraction rate reach to more than 95%. After cassava crushed by rasper, fully free the starch, get the starch slurry.

Procedure 3: Screening

Centrifuge sieve is mainly used to separate the fiber from starch slurry. It is widely used in the starch produdction from cassava tubers. The sieve basket is made of titanium plate, with laser punching processing. There are some advantages of the machine: low power consumption, stable operation and high starch extraction rate. Thenn fine fiber sieve will be used in the further seperate section to get rid of fine fiber in starch slurry. This is the purify machine used for starch production from cassava, aimed to screening the insoluble impurities out.

Procedure 4: Concentrating

Disc separator is a highly efficient and advanced protein separation equipment, it can isolate about 80 percent of the protein at one time, after the second separation of starch milk can reach less than 0.5 percent of the protein content. Hydro cyclone station will remove fiber, protein and cell to further process starch milk. These two machines used for starch production from cassava can remove the soluble materials from starch milk. This procedure starch production from cassava is designed to improve the quality and purity of the finished products.

Procedure 5: Dewatering and Drying

After concentrating and purifying, the starch slurry water content stiil high, so need to dewatering by the vacuum filter to get the wet starch which moisture is under 40%, the adopt the flash dryer as the drying machine used for starch production from cassava, after this, get the final starch products with moisture content 12%-14%, meet the standard, then can be packed.
