The Complete Guide to Fufu Powder Manufacturing Procedure​

Fufu powder, also known as fufu flour, is a staple food in Africa, mainly made from cassava root. The manufacturing procedure of fufu powder involves several steps, each of which is critical to ensuring the quality and consistency of the final product, fufu powder.

In this article, Henan Jinrui will take you through a closer look at the manufacturing procedure and processing equipment of fufu powder, from the selection of raw materials to the packaging of the finished product.

Cleaning process for fufu production

The first step in the fufu powder manufacturing procedure is to select high-quality cassava roots. It is essential to select fresh, mature, pest-free cassava roots. The high-quality cassava roots are then washed thoroughly to remove any dirt, mud, and impurities. In large-scale fufu powder production line, specialized cleaning equipment such as dry sieve and paddle washer are used to effectively clean the cassava roots and ensure high-quality fufu powder production.

Peeling cassava roots is also an important fufu powder manufacturing procedure. Because the cassava skin is toxic, peeling cassava is very important for the production of high-quality fufu powder. After cleaning, the cassava enters the peeling procedure and is processed by the cassava peeling machine. For the industrial production of fufu powder, processors often choose efficient peeling machine. The cassava peeling machine provided by Henan Jinrui is the choice of most people, which uses sand roller peeling and is equipped with a spray device, which can achieve a peeling rate of 90%, ensuring the quality of subsequent fufu powder.

Processing part for fufu production

After peeling, the next procedure for fufu powder manufacturing is to grind the cassava into a fine pulp. Grinding machines are essential in this procedure because they can handle large amounts of cassava and produce a uniform pulp suitable for fermentation. The combination of a cutter and a rasper in the crushing procedure can achieve a better cassava crushing effect. Henan Jinrui's grinding equipment is designed for fufu powder production, with a grinding rate of up to 96%, which can ensure the smooth progress of the subsequent fufu powder manufacturing procedures.

Fermentation is a critical procedure in the fufu powder manufacturing as it enhances the flavor and improves the overall quality of the fufu powder. The ground cassava pulp is placed in a fermentation tank or fermentation pit, depending on the scale of production. The fermentation period usually lasts 2 to 3 days. During this period, natural microorganisms break down the starch in the cassava residue. During the fermentation procedure, proper temperature and humidity control is crucial to obtain the desired flavor and texture.

Drying equipment for fufu flour production

After fermentation, the cassava pulp will enter the dehydration procedure. In the industrial fufu powder manufacturing, the commonly used dehydration equipment is the plate-frame filter press, which can realize automatic feeding and unloading, greatly improving the production efficiency of fufu powder. The moisture content of cassava pulp treated by the plate-frame filter press can reach 40%. Since the fufu powder manufacturing procedure has strict requirements on moisture content, the dehydrated fufu powder must also go through the drying procedure. The flash dryer designed by Henan Jinrui adopts negative pressure drying, which can ensure the drying effect of fufu powder while also avoiding the loss of fufu powder as much as possible.

The final procedure for fufu powder manufacturing is sieving and packaging. The dried fufu powder is screened to obtain fufu powder with uniform particles. Finally, it is processed by a packaging machine to obtain high-quality fufu powder.

Fufu flour production line

The manufacture of fufu powder is a multi-step procedures that involves careful selection, cleaning, peeling, grinding, fermentation, drying etc. While small-scale production can be done manually, large-scale operations require specialized machinery to ensure efficiency and consistency. Henan Jinrui offers a range of cassava processing machines with varying capacities, from 1 ton/h to 40 tons/h, to meet different production needs. With the right equipment and techniques, fufu powder can be manufactured efficiently and with high quality. If you have the demand, welcome to contact us!
