A cassava chipper is an agricultural processing machine used to cut fresh cassava roots into small, uniform chips for drying, animal feed production, or further processing into flour and other cassava products. It is commonly used in small-scale and commercial farms to improve efficiency and reduce manual labor. The main components include a feeding hopper, cutting blades or rotating disc, cutting chamber, power source (electric motor or diesel engine), discharge outlet, and a supporting frame.

In operation, peeled cassava roots are fed into the hopper, where they are guided into the cutting chamber. A rotating blade system or disc spins at high speed and slices the cassava into evenly sized chips. The size of the chips depends on the blade design and cutting speed. Once cut, the chips are discharged through the outlet chute and collected for drying or further processing. The machine operates continuously as long as cassava is supplied into the hopper. Cassava chippers are valued for their high processing speed, uniform chip size, reduced labor requirement, and improved efficiency in cassava value addition.
