About this document
Cassava Pelletizer Design and Testing by Memento Mori is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document describes the design, fabrication, and testing of a machine for producing cassava pellets at the cottage industry level. Key points: 1) The pelletizer consists of a screw auger inside a barrel that compresses cassava mash against a perforated plate, forming pellets that fall through the holes. 2) Testing evaluated pellet quality at different mash moistures, die sizes, and auger speeds. The best quality pellets came from 18% moisture content mash, through a 4mm die, at 90rpm, producing 54kg/h
