Popis: TO design appropriate presses for dewatering cassava mash, the dewatering characteristics of the mash need to be known. This paper reports on the factors that are important in the dewatering of cassava mash. The final moisture content of dewatering mash was found to be affected only by the applied pressure. The solid content of the expressed liquid did not change significantly during dewatering and was unaffected by such factors as the applied pressure, screen porosity and material depth. Mathematical models are presented which predict dewatering responses.
