Cassava is one of the alternative sources of low-cost carbohydrates and is considered one of the major crops in the Philippines, Nigeria and Brazil. In addition to human consumption, cassava is also used in animal feed and alcohol production. Cassava processing deserves serious attention to meet local and international demand for cassava products.  The processing of cassava tubers involves different processes, of which peeling is one of the most important processes. .The difference in shape and size of cassava tubers makes peeling of cassava one of the main problems in the mechanization of cassava processing. But design and fabrication of cassava peeling machine is necessary for cassava processing industry.

Cassava tubers can be divided into three regions.

1. Pericarp: - This is the outermost layer, brown in color, consisting mainly of dead cells covering the surface of the tuber.

2. Corneum: - It is under the epidermis. Usually about 1.5-2.5 mm thick, white.

3. Central part of the tubers: - This is the main part of the cassava tubers, consisting mainly of stored starch

In the cassava peeling operation, the outer pericarp and the corneum are removed as waste, and the central part of the tuber is retained as the expected output.

From the very beginning, cassava processing involves the peeling process., when there is no design and fabrication of cassava peeling machine. The most traditional method is to peel the cassava from stone and wood, and then evolve to use a simple household knife to cut the cassava skin. Even now, manual peeling is still the most common method of cassava peeling in Nigeria. However, this is quite tedious and labor intensive. The method of manually peeling the cassava skin is both primitive and cumbersome, the hand-made process is time consuming, and most of the cassava's cortex and fleshy parts are wasted. Therefore, there is a need for a design and fabrication of cassava peeling machine that has high precision, low waste and satisfactory results in a short economic cycle. Design and fabrication of cassava peeling machine makes cassava processing more efficient, saving time and improving economic efficiency.

Doing Group is professional in design and fabrication of cassava peeling machine, our cassava peeling machine is design and cnstruction on the basis of absorbing international advanced technology, which is durable, large washing and peeling output, wear resistance, large capacity, safe and reliable. The cassava peeling machine can not only can peel the skin, but also wash it more cleanly. It has a spray device, clean and hygienic, and the peeling is very thorough. DOING cassava peeling machine peeling rate is as high as 95%.

Cassava peeling machine for cassava peeling

Working princliple introduction:

Design and fabrication of cassava peeling machine requires the working princliple of cassava peeling. After the raw material is placed in the cassava peeling machine, the brush roller turns the brushing material and continuously flips it, therefof removing the cassava peels. Meanwhile, design and fabrication of cassava peeling machine need to consider the discharging of peeled peels and other impurities. Therefore a drain pipe is designed to continuously spray to wash away cassava peels and dirt. To achieve better effect, DOING adopts countercurrent washing method, thus

Transmission principle: design and fabrication of cassava peeling machine need to consider the transmission system. DOING cassava peling machine adopts various transmission forms such as belt and sprocket.

Considerations when design and fabrication of cassava peeling machine

1. Peeling efficientcy is the first consideration when design and fabrication of cassava peeling machine. Due to the irregular shap and big size of cassava tubers, peeling can not achieve 100%. But DOING cassava peeling fully absorbing international advanced technology, peeling rate is as high as 95%.

2. Design and fabrication of cassava peeling machine need to take washing function into consideration. DOING device is equipped with a device for tumbling the material, which has the effect of removing product mud and skin. The floating objects can overflow from the overflow tank, and the sediment is discharged from the sewage outlet for washing purposes.

3. Design and fabrication of cassava peeling machine need to consider the material. The peeled cassava is easy to be contaminated, therefore stainless steel material is desirable for brushing roller, which meets the requirements of food hygiene. Carbon steel or stainless steel can both be used as frame of cassava peeling machine, a specially surface treatment can be adopted to endure a longer service life.

4. The machine need to be designed with the characteristics of convenient operation, and easy for installation and maintenance.

Cassava is important in many developing tropical countries, such as the tropical regions of Africa. For the cassava processing industry, due to the development of technology, some areas need cassava processing in order to increase their use in the oil and gas sector to strengthen food security, foreign exchange means and rapid industrialization tools. Through appropriate mechanical design and fabrication of cassava peeling machine, it can be reduced or eliminate the hard work during the post-harvest processing. Design and fabrication of cassava peeling machine can greatly improve the efficiency, reduce the labor cost, and control the cassava peeling process, which plays an vital role in cassava industry.
