Process Flow of Stick Noodle Production Line

 

 

Dough mixing

The requirements of dough mixing operation are "four fixed", that is, flour, salt, flour head and other auxiliary materials should be added in proportion and quantity; The water content should be determined according to the wet gluten content of the flour, generally 25% ~ 32%, the water content of the dough should not be less than 31%; The temperature of adding water should be controlled at about 30℃. With 15 minutes of time, winter should be long, short summer. At the end of the dough, the dough is loose and small particles, can be held into a group, gently knead to loosen the recovery, and a sense of layers in the section. The effect of horizontal linear agitator and horizontal curve agitator is better.

 

Dough agingThe dough shall be cooked, stored and divided by a disc ripening machine or dough aging conveyor, generally 10 ~ 15 minutes, as required The temperature and moisture of the dough should not be too different from that of the dough. The production practice has proved that the second ripening of dough after compounding is more effective and has been adopted by domestic and foreign manufacturers.

 

Dough rolling

Generally, the method of compound rolling and reducing roll rolling is adopted. The technical parameters are as follows:
Multiple rolling: the thickness of the first rolling sheet is usually no less than 4 ~ 5 mm, the thickness of the composite sheet is 8 ~ 10 mm, and the thickness of the final sheet is less than 1 mm, so as to ensure the rolling times are 8 ~ 10 times, making the sheet compact and smooth.
Rolling speed: in order to ensure the quality and output of the noodles, the line speed of the final roller should be 30 ~ 35 m/min.
Rolling number and ratio: 6 ~ 7 rolling number is better, the ideal calendering ratio of each roll is 50%, 40%, 30%, 25%, 15% and 10%.
Roller diameter: a reasonable method is to reduce the diameter of the roll rolling, the roller diameter is arranged for the complex phase, is less than 240 mm, less than 240 mm, less than 300 mm; In the rolling stage, the speed is less than 240 mm, less than 180 mm, less than 150 mm, less than 120 mm, or less than 90 mm.

 

Cutting

The strip forming is completed by the noodles cutter, the processing accuracy and installation of the cutter is often associated with the defects of the noodles such as burr, pimple, distortion, strip and width, thickness and so on. Noodles knife has integral type and combined-type, shape is square more, basic specification is divided into 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 3.0, 6.0 millimeter 5 kinds. At present, the circular or oval blade has been developed to solve the problem of single strip. A cutting knife is arranged under the noodles knife to cut the wet noodle laterally. The rotation speed can be adjusted according to the length of each wet noodle.

Preparation of noodle dough
The process begins with the preparation of the noodle dough. This involves mixing flour, water, and other ingredients to create a homogeneous dough. The proportions and mixing process are carefully controlled to achieve the desired texture and taste of the final product.

 

Kneading and resting
The dough undergoes kneading to develop gluten, providing elasticity and structure to the noodles. After kneading, the dough is allowed to rest, allowing it to relax and the gluten to further develop. This resting period contributes to the overall quality of the noodles.

 

Extrusion equipment
In the extrusion process, the prepared dough is fed into an extruder. An extruder is a machine that uses mechanical force to push the dough through a shaped opening or die, resulting in the formation of noodles with a specific cross-sectional profile.

 

Die design
The die is a crucial component in determining the shape of the extruded noodles. It can be designed to produce various noodle shapes, such as round, flat, square, or cylindrical. The choice of die shape depends on the desired end product.

 

Extrusion and cutting
As the dough passes through the die, it takes on the shape of the die opening. Simultaneously, the noodles are cut to the desired length. The cutting mechanism may be integrated into the extruder or positioned downstream in the production line.

 

Steaming
Depending on the type of noodles being produced, there may be an optional steaming step after extrusion. Steaming can help set the shape and texture of the noodles before they undergo the drying process.

 

Drying
After extrusion and, if applicable, steaming, the noodles proceed to the drying stage. This step involves removing moisture from the noodles to achieve the desired texture and enhance shelf life. Drying can be done through various methods, including hot air drying or infrared drying.

 

Packaging
Once the noodles are fully dried, they are ready for packaging. Packaging is typically the final step in the Stick Noodle Production Line, ensuring that the noodles are protected and preserved until they reach the consumer.

 

The Maintenance of the Noodle Production Line Requires Skills
 

1.The operator should carefully study the instructions before use, and operate in strict accordance with the instructions.

 

2. Reversal is strictly prohibited. Replace the bearing grease every six months.

 

3. Before starting the machine, check whether there is any abnormal phenomenon in each part. If any problem is found, it should be dealt with in time to avoid accidents.

 

4. Strictly prevent iron or other hard substances from being mixed into the flour, so as not to cause damage to the machine parts.

 

5. It is strictly forbidden to adjust the gap between the dough rollers to more than 5 mm, and the back surface cannot be directly poured into the dough bucket.

 

6. When the machine is running, it is strictly forbidden to put your hands into the dangerous parts such as rollers, gears, chains, cutters, etc.

7. The clutch of single-group head (type 60, 100) rolling mill and noodle mixing machine must be clutched in the shutdown state.

 

8. The vermicelli production line should be idling for 10-15 minutes before pressing, and the indoor temperature should be kept above 10-15 degrees during winter production.
