It is common to see cassava chips production in Nigeria. And in Nigeria, most of cassava are usually processed into cassava flour and animal feed.

Because the fresh cassava can't storage long time, so people in Nigeria process cassava into cassava chips firstly to keep it longer, then the cassava chips can used for cassava starch or cassava flour production. Except the animal feed, cassava chips production in Nigeria also can improve the cassava using rate, avoid the waste of cassava due to lignification.

The following part of the paper is to explain the steps cassava chips production in Nigeria:

Step 1: Cassava harvesting

Harvest matured cassava from the farm and load it to the processing shed immediately. If the quantity of cassava harvested can not be carried in the same day , then do not detach the cassava from the stem and leaf until the vehicle to carry it is ready. That is to say, fermentation will not occur if the cassava is still attached to the leaf and stem even if it has been uprooted. But care must be taken not to bruise the cassava when uprooting it.

Step 3: Cassava chipping

The next unit operation is chipping. It is key step in cassava chips production in Nigeria. As is common in household processing this is done by hand or by a simple machine which consists of a driven disc with radial chipping slots fitted with cutting blades. The type consists of a heavy rotating circular steel plate about 12 mm thick and 1m in diameter to which six blades are attached. The blade consists of a 1-1.5 mm steel plate that is corrugated at the cutting edge. The chipping wheels are usually mounted in wooden frames incorporating feed hoppers and driven by petrol, diesel, kerosine or electric motors.

Step 4: Cassava chips drying

Drying methods can be classified according to the technological level and cost. Natural drying, one of the methods, is done on cement floors which are sometimes painted black for better absorption of radiant energy or on trays for artificial drying. In artificial heat dryers, all these parameters can be optimized to minimize the drying time and guarantee a high quality product.

 

Processing steps above are the cassava chips production in Nigeria. The cassava chips machine with good quality and high efficiency can be manufactured by Henan Jinrui company. (Recommended reading: Nigerian client purchased one cassava chipping machine from Henan Jinrui company)

Cassava chips production in Nigeria for animal feed are in the form of cassava chips, pellets and feed grade single cell protein.

The cassava roots can be chipped or pelletized and used as feed, while the root peel, broken roots, fiber from cassava starch processing and garri processing can be dried and used directly as animal feed or as substrate for single cell protein production. Processing cassava into cassava chips for animal feed is more common in the Nigeria. So, if you plan to start a cassava chipping production line in Nigeria. Welcome to leave message to us.
