company news about What is the production process of a fully automatic potato chips production line?

Corn flakes are irresistible. Their golden, crispy exterior, paired with a variety of sauces, and the crunchy crunch of their bites, the satisfying feeling is hard to describe. But did you know? From a single corn kernel to a single flake, a sophisticated, fully automated production line is required.

The corn flake production process may seem simple, but achieving scaled, standardized production requires highly automated machinery. From raw material processing to final packaging, every step requires precise control. Raw material selection is crucial. High-quality corn or buckwheat is cleaned and soaked before entering the milling process. Modern milling equipment grinds the grain into a uniform, fine powder, ensuring consistent puffing.

Next comes the mixing and tempering stage. Corn flour or buckwheat flour is mixed with water, seasonings, and other ingredients in appropriate proportions to form a uniform dough. This step is crucial for uniform mixing; insufficient mixing will result in an uneven texture in the finished product. Fully automatic mixers utilize dual or multi-shaft designs to ensure thorough mixing while avoiding over-mixing that can cause the dough to become sticky.

Dough forming is a key step in corn flake production. Dough is formed through die extrusion or roller cutting. Fully automatic forming machines operate at high speeds, producing thousands of uniformly shaped corn flakes per minute, ensuring that each flake meets standard thickness and size.

After forming, the corn flakes enter the puffing process. Puffing is crucial for achieving crispness and is typically achieved through either high-temperature, high-pressure puffing or deep-frying. High-temperature puffing machines use hot air to instantly heat the corn flakes, rapidly evaporating the moisture within them and creating a porous structure for a crispier texture.

After puffing, the corn flakes need to be cooled and set to prevent them from becoming soft. The fully automatic cooling conveyor belt features a multi-layer design that uses natural air or low-temperature airflow for rapid cooling, ensuring the flakes remain crispy. After cooling, the product enters the seasoning stage. Processes such as oil spraying, dusting, and coating can be adjusted according to needs.

Finally, packaging takes place. Modern packaging machines utilize vacuum or nitrogen injection technology to extend the shelf life of food while preserving its taste. They can perform a series of operations, including metering, bagging, sealing, and coding, with high efficiency and minimal error rates.
