The technology of the noodle processing

Filtered and temperature-controlled water is mixed with vitamins, salt and other flavourings in a
stainless steel tank to create a broth that is delivered via an 800-joint plumbing system, creating flavoured
dough in the mixing room. Each noodle line consists of a mixer dropping vertically through a mezzanine into
the dough kneader. Dough feeds into the kneader, and through a series of compound rollers and continuous
rollers to achieve the desired noodle thickness.
After stretching, strands of noodles with about 43% moisture are conveyed through a steam tunnel,
where they are cooked before entering a steam-fired palm-oil fryer. Steam power is used instead of gas
for more precise temperature control. The oil drives off moisture in the noodles, effectively drying
them. The noodles are then cooled on a special conveyor.
Though some oil pick-up occurs, the addition of antioxidants and adjustments to the oil recipe have
enabled the company to gradually push product sell by dates to eight months. Two of the plant's four
noodle lines generate large and small bowl noodles,
      
The multifunctional corn noodles processing machine is also called miscellaneous grains noodles
processing machine , because it could process not only maize noodles , but also kinds of grains
noodles as wheat , soybean , mung bean , adzuki bean , sorghum , millet and so on . The machine is
small , light , saving energy and highly profitable , can work in a fixed place or on the move . The
