A simple gari frying machine with brush
scrapping device was done using Computer Aided
Design (CAD), and then fabricated. The gari frying
machine consists of a rotary shaft with paddles having
brush scrappers at the tip. This system is inserted
into a drum to fry sieved cassava mash with the aid of
charcoal as the source of heat in the chamber is
controlled by introducing heat exchangers.
The paddle shaft is driven by a synchronous electric
motor of 3.75kw with 1460rpm. As the shaft rotates,
the paddle having a to and fro conveyor effect, turns
the dewatered sieved cassava mash being fried. The
total cost of production is N176, 095.
