Abstract

This document describes a piece of innovative equipment developed to mechanically dewater cassava mash. The press uses chain-hoist, overcoming the main issues of the equipment currently available for cassava dewatering in sub-Saharan African countries, namely elevated work drudgery and low throughput. The document also describes the results from a preliminary assessment and outline follow-up activities. The activity was funded by the CGIAR Research Program on Roots, Tubers and Bananas (RTB) and executed by the Natural Resources Institute (NRI) of the University of Greenwich, UK, in partnership with the Food Research Institute (FRI) of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Ghana.
