Moinhos Vieira manufactures industrial hammer mills for grinding tapioca, serving everything from small operations to large-scale industrial processes.

Our equipment is successfully used for the particle size reduction of tapioca, allowing different levels of grinding according to the needs of each process.

With extensive experience in industrial grinding, we carry out practical tests with tapioca to evaluate equipment performance and help select the most suitable solution for each application.

**Being gluten-free**, more and more people are looking to tapioca flour as a substitute for the flour used in white bread.

**Tapioca flour** is a flour extracted from cassava which, when combined with water, forms a gum. This, when brought to the boil, then turns into a very light, white pancake-like batter.

**Moinhos Vieira** has several clients who use its **mills to grind tapioca.**
