A cassava pulp sifter for grated and dewatered cassava was developed and evaluated. The machine was evaluated at three operating speeds of 260rpm, 350rpm and 530rpm and masses of 1kg, 2kg and 3kg. It was observed that increase in the speed of operation increased both sieving capacity and sieving efficiency of the machine. Increase in mass, increased sieving capacity and decreased sieving efficiency. The average maximum sifting efficiency and capacity were 95.32% and 613.16kg/hr respectively. All the materials used for the fabrication were obtained locally and the machine has low labour requirements which can be adopted in gari processing industries.
