FAQ/ Chat online/ Leave a message/ 2023-05-26

Pupuru powder is the most traditional Africa Fufu meal. It's a popular product in cassava processing. People in the market have different requirements for the taste of finished pupuru powder, which promotes its production. Here, I will give details on how to produce pupuru powder from cassava.

Pupuru powder processing is almost the same as cassava flour processing, the difference is that pupuru powder processing requires fermentation. The pupuru powder processing methods include homemade pupuru powder and machine-made pupuru powder.

Homemade Pupuru powder method

  • Harvest cassava roots and wash them thoroughly.

  • Peel the cassava roots and cut them into small pieces.

  • Soak the cassava pieces in water for 2-3 days to soften them.

  • Drain the water and grind the cassava pieces into a fine paste using a mortar and pestle or a food processor.

  • Place the cassava paste in a cheesecloth and squeeze out the excess liquid.

  • Spread the cassava paste on a flat surface and let it dry in the sun for 2-3 days.

  • Once the cassava paste is completely dry, grind it into a fine powder using a mortar and pestle or a food processor.

  • Store the pupuru powder in an airtight container in a cool, dry place.

Machine-made pupuru powder method

Machine-made pupuru powder processing includes three parts: washing part- processing part- drying and package part. Pupuru powder is processed by cassava washing, peeling roots, cutting into pieces, grinding into pulp, fermenting for 1-2 days, dewatering, drying, sieving, and packing.

Washing part

In the washing part, Dry sieve and Paddle washing machine are necessary. A dry sieve is used for removing impurities attached to fresh cassava, such as sand, leaves, stones, and weeds. And Paddle washing machine is used for washing cassava completely with water, and the water can be reused.

Processing part

The first is cassava peeling. As we all know, cassava has two layers of skin, and the crude fiber is not conducive to the taste of the finished product, so peeling is important. We use a Peeling machine to peel the skin, which can peel the whole piece and it works very well.

After peeling, comes the grinding part, where we use Cutters and Raspers. Cutters are used to cut cassava into small pieces. Rasper is used to completely pulverize cassava. The device has a high-speed rotation with blades inside. While rotating at high speed, the blades are thrown to crush the cassava tubers. It is the most important machine in pupuru powder processing. The more fully the crushing, the more pupuru powder you get.

After grinding, it comes to fermenting, which is a critical step of cassava pupuru powder processing. In this part, you can improve efficiency and quality by Fermentation tanks. And usually, this needs 1-2 days to finish fermenting.

After fermentation, it is the dehydration step. Here we use a Plate-frame filter press. It works under extrusion. After dewatering, we can get wet pupuru powder.

Drying and packaging part

After dewatering, you need to dry wet pupuru powder. We configure a Flash dryer for drying wet pupuru powder, this machine works under negative pressure, which can reduce the loss of final pupuru powder.

This pupuru powder drying machine is full of stainless steel material and has a high drying speed, which can dry 1-20 tons of wet pupuru powder within one hour.

After drying, it’s pupuru powder sieving and package. We use a Sifter sieving machine and an automatic Package machine. They are flexible to adjust the requirements of finished pupuru powder according to specific needs.
