Tapioca Residue Pellet is a pelleted form of Tapioca Residue, which is a by-product of Tapioca Starch production process.
Tapioca itself is a type of starch extracted from cassava tubers. It consists of almost pure carbohydrates, calories; and contains very little protein, fiber, or other nutrients.
Tapioca Residue contains starch and fiber, tapioca residue is suitable for use in animal feed formulation, and can be conveniently mixed in feed formulas along with other feed raw materials.
One of the advantages of Tapioca Residue Pellets over Tapioca Residue Powder is that they have a longer shelf life as they are harder and subsequently more difficult for insects to eat or destroy.
How to process tapioca residue pellet:
Tapioca Residue Pellets are made from Tapioca Residue. Farmers collect wet Tapioca Residue from tapioca starch factories, dry them under the sunlight, and store them in a warehouse or other convenient storage facilities.
The Tapioca Residue is ground into powder and sieved through a sieve of different mesh size for different quality.
The Tapioca Residue Powder is then compressed and formed into hard pellets.
Finally, the Tapioca Residue Pellets are packed in plastic bags of various sizes depending on the intended use or destination.
The Tapioca Pellet is mainly for animal feed industry. In pellet form, it will facilitate the transportation and decrease the dusty atmosphere during the transportation.
Tapioca pellets are produced by compressing tapioca chips, using a heat and pressurized equipment.
They are 20-30 millimeters in length, with a diameter of 10 millimeters.
The pellets are a very efficient energy source for animals. Since tapioca pellets are available all-year round, and the price is rather stable, when compared with other feedstuffs, they are very much in demand among countries that need and use them.
An important advantage of tapioca pellets is that they can easily be transported, unlike other feed grains.
Tapioca residue pellet specifications are as follows:
Starch: 45-48% max. (Depending on season)
Fiber: 15-17% max. (Depending on season)
Moisture: 14% max.
Sand/Silica: 3% max.
Diameter: about 10 mm
Processing:
Fresh cassava tubers, particularly high-quality ones, are very perishable. They deteriorate within two or three days of harvest and therefore must be processed quickly to avoid complete loss.
Tubers intended for industrial animal feeding are sliced and dried, and then usually ground or pelletized.
The technologies used at different scales of chip and pellet production are similar and cassava chips can be produced by simple techniques in the household or village as well as on a large mechanized scale.
The selection of a technology depends on the amount of cassava to be processed, the availability of capital and labor cost, as well as the availability of relatively cheap energy.
The first step in cassava processing is usually washing the tubers, followed by peeling.
The tubers are then sliced, either by hand or mechanically.
Cassava chips may have different sizes and shapes, rectangular, cubic, thick sliced, depending on the slicing and drying methods.
Drying may be natural or artificial. Sun-drying is done on concrete floors or on trays. Sun-drying is a very labor intensive operation, requiring about 35-40 laborers per hectare of drying floor.
Chips dried on trays look better and are more uniformly dried than those dried on concrete floors.
Artificial drying is done using static or moving bed dryers, or rotary dryers. Cassava chips can be sold directly, ground into cassava meal, or pelletized.
During pelletizing, chips are heated and moistened and then forced into continuous die presses. Pelletizing tapioca results in a product that is 25-40% denser and more uniform. It is more durable, less dusty and easier to handle.
Though Nigeria is the world largest producer of cassava, Thailand is the largest producer of tapioca starch, with a capacity of over 2 million metric tonnes per year. Following Thailand is Brazil, Nigeria, and Indonesia as the top tapioca-producing countries in the world.
Our company is currently looking for suppliers and business minded persons to do trial order export of cassava pellets to Central Europe. You can quickly take up the opportunity if you are interested.
Our company is one of the best Agro-Export Business in Nigeria today. We train individuals and corporate organizations on how to do Export Business the right way; if you are interested, please contact the admin of this forum now for further details.
