How does ther corn flakes production line works？

Corn Flakes and its Development Prospect.

Corn flakes is the most common cereal snack food in the world. It takes the corn flour as its main raw material. By adding a mixture of sugar, various vitamins, mineral and a certain amount of water, the appropriate flakes are made after fully kneading, steaming and cooking, shaping, pressing and baking. The corn flakes currently produced in China are light corn flakes, sweet corn flakes and salted corn flakes.

Corn flakes as a daily food in life, is popular with consumers, young and old. Its development prospects are very broad. With the improvement of people's consumption level, the demand for cornflakes has also increased. Higher requirements in the production process has been put forward.

How Corn Flakes Production Line Works

After years of production and practice, the production process of cornflakes has been greatly improved. The degree of automation is getting higher and higher. Advanced industrial equipment and assembly lines have formed the following modern corn flake production process.

Mixing ingredients → twin-screw extrusion maturation → cutting and forming → pre-drying → pressing → high temperature baking → corn flakes

(1) Ingredients. The ingredients of cornflakes are very important. Make sure that the seasoning has a good taste. Especially the requirements of corn raw materials directly related to the ability to make high-quality cornflakes products. Besides, pay attention to the proportion and content of various nutrients.

(2) Extrusion ripening molding. The process of corn flakes extrusion ripening molding is the key to producing high quality corn flakes. In the process, the corn must be fully cooked without any puffing. Only in this way can we make dense, hard and crisp corn flakes with outstanding flavor.

(3) Cutting. Cut the materials extruded by the twin-screw extrusion maturation machine into uniform size of granular materials, which is translucent.

(4) Pre-drying. Cut molding materials into the dryer for pre-drying. The surface is dried to form a certain tension, no longer adhering to each other, which is conducive to the smooth conduct of pressing.

(5) Pressing. The pressing process is also the key to the production of corn flakes. The requirements of the tablet press are very high. The surface of the roll must have a high degree of finish, and the roll must be constant temperature.

(6) High-temperature roasting. Whether the corn flakes products have a hard and crisp, dense structure, outstanding corn-specific flavor, roasting process is critical.

(7) After the baked corn flake is cooled, the corn flake product is prepared. There are a number of post-processing corn flakes, coated with sugar or chocolate, mostly according to market demand.
