The Manual Presser with Hydraulic Jack is used in cassava and garri processing to press water out of fermented cassava mash before frying, a critical step that determines the moisture content, texture, and shelf life of the final garri product. The hydraulic jack mechanism applies powerful, even pressure without requiring excessive physical effort, making it far more efficient than traditional screw-press or stone-weight methods. Proper pressing is essential. Under-pressed mash produces wet, clumping garri that fries unevenly and spoils quickly. Over-pressed mash can be too dry and crumbly. The hydraulic jack gives the operator precise control over pressing force and duration for consistent results.
