Cassava Processing Machinery for High-Quality Polvilho in Brazil
Brazil is a leading producer of cassava (mandioca/aipim) and its derivatives, including polvilho (cassava starch, both sweet—polvilho doce—and sour—polvilho azedo). To produce high-quality polvilho, efficient and modern cassava processing machinery is essential. Below are key machinery and steps involved in the process: 1. Cassava Cleaning & Washing Machinery Purpose: Remove dirt, sand, and leaves. Machinery: Dry sieve(for removing soils, mud, and leaves) Paddle washers (high-capacity water spray systems). dry sieve 2. Cassava Grating/Rasping Machines Purpose: Break down cassava roots into pulp for polvilho extraction. Machinery: Cassava Cutter ( with durable 4Cr13 rhombus blades for pieces production.) High-speed raspers (with stainless steel saw blades for fine grating). cassava rasper 3. Polvilho Extraction (Sieving& Refining) Purpose: Separate cassava starch from fibrous pulp. Machinery: Centrifugal sieves (for fine filtration of polv...
