simple procedure for extraction of cassava starch

     simple procedure for extraction of cassava starch, As we know, there are many materials in cassava. In raw cassava, the content of cassava starch is about 25%-30%, and in the dried cassava, it’s about 80%, so it has much value to extract starch. From raw cassava, we need to break cassava cells, then release starch, then make them dried. This is the simple procedure for extraction of cassava starch. simple procedure for extraction of cassava starch

      Normally we can get cassava starch at home, we just need to mill cassava into slurry, then add some water, keep for some time to sediment. Finally you can see there are some white material under water. That’s cassava starch. simple procedure for extraction of cassava starch

      But for industrial usage, we need large quantity of starch, this method cannot meet the needs. In our company, after washing, we using knife-type crusher and hammer mill to crush cassava into small slurry. Then using vertical centrifuge to separate dregs from slurry. Then using 18pcs hydrocyclone to concentrate and purify cassava starch milk. Then using vacuum dewatering machine to remove much water under about 38%. Finally using our national patent air steam flash dryer to dry wet starch. All the procession, it’s about 30minutes, you can get the final dried cassava starch.
