Taro whole powder can be made
using drum drying equipment.
Here is the step-by-step process of
producing taro chips and taro whole powder using a slicer, steamer, pulper, and
drum dryer:
Sorting and cleaning: First,
sort the taro and remove any damaged or rotten parts. Wash the taro with water
to remove any dirt or debris.
Slicing: Use a slicer to cut
the taro into thin and even slices. This will ensure that the taro is cooked
evenly and achieves a consistent texture and quality.
Steaming: Place the sliced taro
in a steamer and cook until the taro is softened and fully cooked. This process
will help break down the starch, making the taro easier to turn into a mash.
Pureeing: Transfer the cooked
taro slices to a pulper and make a uniform taro mash to produce taro chips and
taro powder.
Drum drying: Place the taro
mash in a drum dryer. The drum dryer uses heat to remove moisture from the mash
and turn it into chips or powder. The drum dryer works by spreading the mash
evenly on heated drums, which rotate and dry it into film-like products.
Grinding: Once the taro is
completely dry, it can be made into fine powder by passing the flakes through a
mill or grinding machine to make taro powder.
Packaging and storage: Once the
taro flakes or taro powder production is complete, it can be packaged and stored
for later use. Make sure to store it in a cool, dry place to prevent spoilage.
By following these steps,
high-quality taro flakes and taro powder can be produced, suitable for various
cooking applications.
