Summary: The study focuses on the development of a cassava processing machine capable of peeling, granulating and drying the harvested cassava. This study employed the systems development method (SDM) in which a prototype of the machine was built, tested, and reworked until the acceptable model was finally achieved. The developed machine is comprised of three (3) main parts namely, peeler, granulator, and drier. The peeler was made of circular expanded wires that are being rotated using sprocket and chain attachments to peel cassava tubers by abrasion. The granulator consists of a rack and pinion for driving the press and the cutter is a reciprocating type, both using electric motor as its prime mover. The press and cutter are moving alternately to produce the desired granules. The dryer has an electric heater with fan for drying of the cassava granules thus prolonging shelf life as compared to raw cassava granules Three test trials were conducted on each of the following test parameters: peeling efficiency, granulation recovery, and drying effectiveness in terms of reduction in moisture content of the feed sample. Results of the tests revealed that the developed prototype can produce an average of 5.3 kilograms of dried cassava granules the 10-kg sample of unpeeled cassava tubers. The developed machine has a peeling efficiency of 84.47%. The moisture content of the processed cassava using the machine can be dried to an average moisture content of 14.97%. Author's Abstract

The study focuses on the development of a cassava processing machine capable of
peeling, granulating and drying the harvested cassava.
This study employed the systems development method (SDM) in which a prototype of the machine was built, tested, and reworked until the acceptable model was finally achieved. The developed machine is comprised of three (3) main parts namely, peeler, granulator, and drier. The peeler was made of circular expanded wires that are being rotated using sprocket and chain attachments to peel cassava tubers by abrasion. The granulator consists of a rack and pinion for driving the press and the cutter is a reciprocating type, both using electric motor as its prime mover. The press and cutter are moving alternately
to produce the desired granules. The dryer has an electric heater with fan for drying of the cassava granules thus prolonging shelf life as compared to raw cassava granules
Three test trials were conducted on each of the following test parameters: peeling
efficiency, granulation recovery, and drying effectiveness in terms of reduction in moisture content of the feed sample.
Results of the tests revealed that the developed prototype can produce an average
of 5.3 kilograms of dried cassava granules the 10-kg sample of unpeeled cassava tubers.
The developed machine has a peeling efficiency of 84.47%. The moisture content of the processed cassava using the machine can be dried to an average moisture content of 14.97%. Author's Abstract
