Cassava starch (also called tapioca starch) is produced primarily by the wet milling of fresh cassava tubers. Just like cassava flour, there is a important shift from dry technology to wet technology in cassava starch production. The traditional dry technology is gradually replaced by modern mechanized production because of the low quality and inefficiency. SIDA company has summarized and absorbed the advanced processing technology from Europe. With the strong research and years' improvement, the cassava starch production technology has become increasingly mature.

The main cassava starch production equipment 

1.Dry sieve

2.Paddle washing machine

3.Rasper for cassava crushing

4.Centrifugal sieve

5.Fine fiber sieve

6.Desander

7.Hydrocyclone station

8.Peeler centrifuge

9.Flash dryer

10.Automatic packing machine

What is the uses of tapioca/cassava starch?

Food industry:Cassava starch is widely used in food formulations such as baked goods, snacks, seasonings, soups, sausages, dairy products, meat and fish products , drinks, sugars and baby food.

Paper industry:The application of modified cassava starch in paper industry can improve paper quality, productivity and pulp utilization.

Textile industry:In order to improve textile efficiency, cassava starch is often used as sizing agent to harden and protect yarn. Used as finishing agent to produce fabrics with a smooth feel; Used as toner to obtain clear and durable printed fabrics.

Glue industry:Cassava starch is the most important raw material in the production of both dry and wet glues. When it comes into contact with hot water or chemicals, it becomes sticky and stays sticky.

Wallpaper and other home uses:arious types of starch-based products are used as adhesives for wallpaper and other domestic uses.

Other Uses:Cassava starch is used in many other industries such as Plywood industry, MSG and lysine industries, Medical industry, or Biodegradable materials.

Cassava flour processing equipment mainly includes cassava cleaning machine, paddle washing machine, cassava crushing machine, cassava flour dewatering machine, hammer mill, cassava flour drying machine, cassava flour sieving machine, cassava flour packing machine. The working principle of cassava flour processing equipment from SIDA Company is mainly to adopt wet processing technology. The way can improve the quality of cassava flour.

The working process of cassava flour processing equipment: cassava cleaning and washing - cassava crushing - dewatering - milling - drying - sieving - cassava flour packing.
