How to Use Cassava Flour Production Equipment Make Cassava Flour

We get flour from cassava, but do you know to to get cassava flour from cassava flour production equipment ?

 After harvesting mature cassava roots, the roots are peeled and washed. They are then grated and dehydrated with a screw or hydraulic press. They are then often dried before being finely milled and packaged.  

For this process, the most common equipment is a grater, press, dryer, miller and packaging machine. Drying is one of the major factors for making premium cassava flour. 

There are several ways to dry cassava roots or grated cassava. Natural drying is done by exposing cassava roots or chips to sunlight which is cheap, but also risky as it exposes the cassava to pests and diseases. It is also a long process. Artificial drying is done by de-hydrating cassava with a controllable energy source. An example of artificial drying is the rotary dryer which consist of a drum-like chamber, similar to a tumble dry, which is fueled by energy and rotates the product to extract moisture.
