Cookimech's Technological Breakthroughs in Cassava Processing Production Lines

Zhucheng Cookimech Launches a New Generation of Fully - Automatic Cassava Processing Production Line, Leading the Technological Innovation in Tropical Crop Processing

Zhucheng, China, July 17, 2025 - Cookimech Food Machinery Co., Ltd. in Zhucheng, Shandong Province officially released its newly developed CM - CassavaPro series of fully - automatic cassava processing production lines today. This production line integrates advanced peeling, crushing, fermentation, and drying technologies. Specifically designed for major cassava - producing regions such as Africa and Southeast Asia, it can efficiently process fresh cassava and cassava dried slices, with an annual processing capacity of up to 100,000 tons, filling the market gap for automated equipment for small and medium - sized cassava processing enterprises.

• Efficient Peeling System: It adopts the patented flexible brush roller technology, with a peeling rate of ≥98%, which is 20 times more efficient than traditional manual peeling. At the same time, it can effectively remove hydrocyanic acid (HCN) in cassava peels, ensuring food safety.
• Intelligent Fermentation Control: Through the linkage of temperature and humidity sensors with the PLC, the traditional Garri fermentation cycle is shortened from 72 hours to 36 hours, and the acidity fluctuation is controlled within ±0.2pH, with the quality stability reaching the leading level in the industry.
• Modular Design: It supports the quick switching of multiple production lines such as starch (with a fineness of 120 mesh), Garri (with adjustable particles), and slices (with a thickness of 0.5 - 5mm), meeting diverse market demands.
• Energy - Saving and Environmental - Friendly: The heat recovery system reduces energy consumption by 30%, and the wastewater treatment module enables recycling, meeting the EU CE and African NAFDAC environmental standards.

  Market Applications and Advantages

   

  • African Market: For major Garri - producing countries such as Nigeria, the equipment has specifically optimized the fermentation and stir - frying processes, with a production capacity of 200 - 500 kg/h, helping customers break through the quality bottleneck of traditional manual production.
  • Southeast Asian Market: It is suitable for processing fresh cassava and dried slices, increasing the starch extraction rate by 3 - 5%. Through the eighteen - stage cyclone group for refinement, the starch purity reaches 99.2%.Cost Advantage: Compared with European brands, the equipment with the same production capacity is 25 - 35% lower in price, and it is easy to maintain. The modular design reduces the technical thresho

    General Manager Cosen Zhang's Outlook
    "Cassava is the staple food for 800 million people worldwide, but backward processing technologies have restricted the industrial value. Our CM - CassavaPro series, through intelligent design, has solved the core problems of high energy consumption and unstable quality in traditional processes. In the future, we will cooperate with the Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences to develop deep - processing technologies suitable for new varieties (such as Gui - re 13), further promoting the industrialization of cassava in tropical regions."
