Cleaning- In this process, tapioca roots are transported to factories within 1 to 2 days. Because there is a risk of them getting spoiled quickly. First, these tapioca roots have to be placed in a drum and passed through the root washer. Through this, they are cleaned.

Cutting- After this, they are cleaned thoroughly by hand. Then they are cut using a rasper machine.
