Cassava Starch Production Line in Ghana | 20 TPD Turnkey
Jinrui Foodtech (formerly Henan Jinrui) delivered a turnkey cassava starch production line project for a community-based cassava project in Ghana. We signed the contract with our customer on August 2, 2025, after the customer visited our factory in China, and we shipped the complete equipment on January 29, 2026. The line is designed to process 20 tons of fresh cassava per day, with a fresh cassava input rate of 4 tons per hour and approximately 1 ton of starch output per hour. The fully automatic system covers washing, crushing, filtration, desanding, starch purification, dewatering, drying, sieving, and packing.

Project Background
Our customer in Ghana was planning a community-based cassava project and came to us for a complete cassava starch processing plant rather than individual machines. The project required an integrated production system covering the main stages from fresh cassava preparation through finished starch packaging.
After discussing the project requirements with our team, we developed a fully automatic cassava starch production line based on a fresh cassava processing capacity of 20 tons per day. The designed input rate is 4 tons of fresh cassava per hour, with approximately 1 ton of starch output per hour.
The customer also wanted to understand our equipment and manufacturing capabilities directly before making the purchasing decision. Instead of evaluating the project only through remote communication, the customer traveled to China and visited our factory. We discussed the project in person during the visit, and the contract was signed on August 2, 2025.

Cassava Starch Production Line Process and Main Equipment
The Ghana project uses a continuous multi-stage processing route, from fresh cassava washing to final packing. The equipment is arranged as a fully automatic processing system so that the different stages can operate continuously as an integrated line.
| Processing stage | Main equipment | Function |
| Washing | Paddle washer | Removes soil and other impurities from fresh cassava. |
| Cutting | Cutter | Reduces cassava roots to a suitable size for further processing. |
| Rasping | Rasper | Breaks cassava tissue to release starch. |
| Filtration | Centrifuge sieve | Separates fiber from the starch-containing slurry. |
| Fine filtration | Fine fiber sieve | Further removes fine fiber from the slurry. |
| Desanding | Desander | Removes sand and heavier impurities from the process stream. |
| Starch purification | Hydrocyclone stations | Purifies the starch slurry. |
| Dewatering | Peeler centrifuge | Removes water from the purified starch. |
| Drying | Flash dryer | Dries the dewatered starch. |
| Sieving | Sifter | Separates the dried starch particles. |
| Packing | Packer | Packs the finished starch. |
The complete equipment scope includes 11 main equipment types: Paddle washer, Cutter, Rasper, Centrifuge sieve, Fine fiber sieve, Desander, Hydrocyclone stations, Peeler centrifuge, Flash dryer, Sifter, and Packer. Together, these machines cover the complete processing route specified for the Ghana project.
Project Timeline
Our cooperation with the Ghana customer developed through several key stages:
• First inquiry: April 2025 — the customer first contacted us about the planned cassava starch project and discussed the basic project requirements with our team.
• Solution and project planning: April–July 2025 — we communicated with the customer about the processing requirements, production capacity, equipment configuration, process flow, and overall project planning.
• Customer factory visit and contract signing: August 2, 2025 — the customer traveled to China, visited our factory, discussed the project with our team in person, and signed the contract during the visit.
• Equipment manufacturing and preparation: After contract signing — we proceeded with the production and preparation of the equipment required for the turnkey project.
• Equipment shipment: January 29, 2026 — the complete equipment for the Ghana project was shipped.
From contract signing on August 2, 2025, to equipment shipment on January 29, 2026, the project moved from confirmed order to shipment inapproximately six months.

Why the Customer Chose Jinrui Foodtech
• Turnkey Line Supply
We supplied a complete cassava starch production line rather than separate standalone machines. The project scope covers the full processing route, including washing, crushing, filtration, desanding, purification, dewatering, drying, sieving, and packing.
• In-house Manufacturing
We manufacture the cassava starch processing equipment required for the production line through our own factory, which covers more than 40,000 m². This allows our team to coordinate the equipment configuration and production requirements as part of one complete project.
• Factory Inspection Welcome
We welcome customers who want to inspect our manufacturing capability before placing an order. In this project, the Ghana customer personally traveled to China, visited our factory, and discussed the project directly with our team before signing the contract.
• Delivery and Project Execution
The contract for this project was signed on August 2, 2025, and the equipment was shipped on January 29, 2026. The approximately six-month period from contract signing to shipment reflects our execution of the agreed equipment supply process for this project.
• Experience Serving West African Projects
Our work with customers in West Africa gives our team experience communicating with project owners in the region about cassava processing requirements. For customers planning cassava processing in West Africa, we can discuss raw-material conditions, target capacity, process configuration, and equipment requirements as part of the project planning stage.
FAQ
How much factory space is needed for a cassava starch processing plant?
The required factory space depends on the production capacity, equipment configuration, process layout, raw-material handling arrangements, finished-product handling, and other project-specific conditions. Jinrui Foodtech can evaluate the planned process and equipment configuration and provide layout recommendations based on the customer's available site.
What water and electricity requirements should be considered for a cassava starch production line?
Water and electricity requirements depend on the selected production capacity, equipment configuration, process design, and operating conditions. Before equipment selection, Jinrui Foodtech can assess the customer's available utilities and provide the corresponding requirements for the proposed production line.
Does Jinrui Foodtech provide overseas installation and commissioning services?
Yes. Jinrui Foodtech provides overseas installation and commissioning services. According to customer requirements, we can arrange engineers to travel to the project site to provide guidance for equipment installation and assist with equipment commissioning.
Can Jinrui Foodtech customize cassava starch production line capacity?
Yes. Jinrui Foodtech can provide cassava starch production lines covering a capacity range of 40–800 TPD fresh cassava input and can customize the production capacity according to the customer's specific requirements.
