How dose a paddle washer work?

Paddle washing machine is a type of industrial machine which is normally used in cassava processing projects, like garri project, cassava flour project, cassava starch project. It used for washing the fresh cassava complete, so that clean cassava can move to next processing step. In this article, Henan Jinrui will introduce the paddle washer in detailes from 3 aspects: working principle, features and application.

The paddle washing machine is a well-structured industrial equipment that can effectively clean materials such as cassava. It is mainly composed of a motor, a cleaning chamber, paddles and a drainage system. The paddle washing machine mainly uses the working principle of countercurrent washing to achieve efficient cleaning of cassava. When the cassava enters the cleaning chamber, the motor drives the main shaft of the paddle washer, and the main shaft drives the paddle to rotate. The paddle rotation pushes the cassava forward, which is opposite to the direction of the water flow, thereby forming a countercurrent and achieving a better washing effect. In addition, the paddle washer designed by Henan Jinrui has a bottom net. Due to the different gravity, the fine sand and cassava are separated to ensure the cleaning effect. A butterfly valve is installed below, which can be opened regularly to discharge sand. If there are no such devices at the bottom or only one or two nets for sand discharge are left, it may not be possible to thoroughly clean the cassava.

After learning the working principle of paddle washer, next we will introduce the applications of paddle washer. In addition to cassava processing project, the paddle washer can be also used for potato, sweet potato, yam and other raw materials washing.

Paddle washing machine

- Cassava Processing: Used in garri production, cassava flour, and starch processing to remove soil and contaminants.

- Sweet Potato & Yam Processing: Ensures clean raw material for flour, chips, and starch production.

- Potato Washing: Used in French fries, potato starch, and chips manufacturing to improve hygiene and product quality.

- Other Root Crops: Suitable for taro, carrots, and other vegetables requiring intensive washing.

The machine is versatile, with different capacity models available to meet small, medium, and large-scale production needs.

We have already mentioned that the paddle washer is the best choice for most people because of its good cleaning effect and wide range of uses. For example, Henan Jinrui's paddle washer has been favored by many cassava processors. The reason why it has become a hot-selling single machine is mainly due to the following features:

1. High Cleaning Efficiency

- Countercurrent washing ensures deep cleaning with minimal water consumption.

- Paddle agitation removes stubborn dirt without damaging the tubers.

2. Sand & Impurity Removal System

- Bottom mesh screen collects sand and stones.

- Discharge valve allows easy removal of sediments, reducing manual labor.
