The main problems in the process of making tapioca starch

The main problems that may be encountered in the process of making tapioca starch include

    Raw material selection and treatment: the selection of cassava varieties, quality and treatment have an important impact on the quality of starch. Choosing the right variety and good quality cassava is the first consideration.

    Cleaning and peeling: cassava needs to be cleaned and treated before processing, if the cleaning is not thorough or the peeling is not clean, it will affect the quality of starch.

    Grinding and centrifugal sieving: cassava needs to be mixed with water after grinding and the starch granules are separated in the centrifugal sieving process. The time, speed and temperature control of grinding and separation need to be reasonable to ensure the complete extraction and quality of starch.

    Purification and Dewatering: After separation, the starch mixture needs to be purified from the starch slurry by a cyclone, and then the starch slurry and solid residue are separated. The purified starch slurry is passed through vacuum dewatering machine or scraper centrifuge to get wet starch.

    Drying and finished product processing: the starch slurry is filtered, dried and other steps to get tapioca starch products. The drying temperature and time need to be controlled to ensure the dryness and stability of the starch.

    Quality control and standardization: Quality control and inspection are needed throughout the production process to ensure that the products meet safety, hygiene and quality standards.

All these issues need to be carefully considered and solved during the production process to ensure the production of high quality tapioca starch products.
