What are the main functions of cassava starch processing equipment

Cassava starch is not only edible but also widely used in industrial production. Therefore, there is a huge demand for sweet potato starch. Many companies purchase cassava starch processing equipment to increase cassava starch production. So, what functions does a high-quality cassava starch processing equipment have?

1. Multi-stage cleaning function

Cleaning is a crucial step in potato processing. Thorough cleaning ensures that the starch is not unpleasant, thus maintaining its essential quality. Cassava starch processing equipment features a multi-stage cleaning function. Using biomimetic principles, it powerfully removes sediment from the cassava. A cage-type cleaning device then rinses the cassava further, improving its cleanliness and removing the cassava skin.

2. Crushing, extruding, and filtering functions

Cost-effective cassava starch processing equipment features crushing and extruding functions. During operation, it undergoes multiple crushing and filtration steps, separating the starch slurry from the remaining cassava residue. The cassava residue undergoes repeated extrusion and filtration, while the starch slurry undergoes percolation filtration to ensure that all the starch in the cassava is fully extracted, ensuring a high starch extraction rate.

3. Starch Dehydration and Drying Function

The cassava starch equipment uses vacuum filtration and pre-hanging to dehydrate the refined and concentrated starch slurry, bringing it to the required moisture content for the drying process. It then uses low-temperature, high-volume airflow to dry the starch. During drying, the wet starch is fed into a drying tube, where fresh air is heated by a radiator before entering the drying tube, where it is dried by the fan.
