Do you know the modern process of tapioca starch production?

Tapioca starch production

The description of the  process of tapioca starch production:

Tapioca can be processed into tapioca starch, tapioca flour etc. The modern process of tapioca starch production, practiced in the large-and-medium-scale factories relies on numbers of highly efficient equipment and machines; Grinding the starch with the high-speed milling machine.  Separated the water by  cyclone groups. Dry the cake in the flash dryer.

This process of  tapioca starch production requires only short period of time and provides superior quality of starch.

The process of tapioca starch production may be described into 8 steps as follows:

1. Weigh the fresh cassava roots to determine the starch percentage.

2. Remove sand and impurity in the rotary screener.

3. Put it into the peeling-and-cleansing device, then chop out root tails.    

4. Put the fresh clean cassava into the milling machine to remove protein.

5. Pass the slurry through the screen to remove fiber. Fiber is sun-dried and sold out for animal feed application.    

6. Separate the fine fiber and impurity by  cyclone groups

7. Dry out the starch by passing it through the hot-aired dryer column.

8. Pass the starch through the sifter and pack the fine powder into the sacks for sale.
