Cassava starch production generates large amounts of wet cassava residue, which typically contains 75-85% moisture. This wet residue is difficult to store, transport, and dispose of, making belt dewatering machines essential for optimizing production lines in cassava cassava starch factories.
A belt dewatering machine works by feeding cassava residue between two tensioned filter belts. The belts move over a series of rollers in an S-shape, applying mechanical pressure to squeeze out water. Erste, gravity removes initial moisture, then the pressing process reduces moisture to 55-60%, turning the residue into a manageable cake. This continuous operation is ideal for high-volume cassava starch production, ensuring non-stop dewatering without interruptions.
Key benefits of using belt dewatering machines in cassava starch factories:
- High Efficiency: Processes up to 8 tons of cassava residue per hour, matching factory production demands.
- Cost Savings: Low energy consumption (1.0-1.5 kWh/ton) and minimal maintenance due to durable stainless-steel components.
- Resource Utilization: Dewatered residue can be used as animal feed or organic fertilizer, creating extra revenue streams.
- Environmental Friendliness: Reduces water discharge and waste volume, meeting environmental regulations.
For example, a malaysian cassava starch factory using a belt dewatering machine can transform 50 tons of wet residue into 20 tons of dewatered material daily, cutting transportation costs by 60%. The machine’s simple operation and reliable performance make it a must-have for modern cassava processing lines, balancing efficiency and sustainability.
