The series of automatic instant dried grains noodle (Ho Fun) production line which is latest explored by SNT machinery based on the extruding cereal noodles production line. It adopts the new theory by cooking & extruding raw material slurry making noodles or Ho Fun without pressing and rolling.

The main characteristic is as following:

1.    Varity of raw material:  Not only by single raw material, such as buckwheat, corn, oat, rice, wheat, etc. but also suitable for combined different grains according to required purpose.

2.    Varity type of final products: Suitable for processing traditional dried stick type flat noodles but also nest noodles.

3.    Non-Fried processing, steam technical processing was applied in extruding.

3.    Varity for serving: the noodles could be served not only by pouring into boiling water for 3-4 minutes but also could be cooked.

4.    Easy controlling and cleaning with simple processing procedure.

①  Blend into starch milk

Quantitative raw material flour and water mixed together and blend into milk automatically according to different processing formula.

②  Pre-heating

In order to meet the following step for the production, mixed well milk will be gelatinized according to the different required temperature.

③   Cooking

Gelatinized slurry will be cooked to a certain temperature is initially cooked by a cooking device.

④   Extruding and forming

The gelatinized slurry which is initially cooked by extruder, and then forming into the noodles and which corresponding specifications were produced by extrusion die.

⑤   Pre-drying

Stainless steel conveyor board、blowers and heating devices installed inside the continuous tunnel, a part of moisture could be evaporated by hot wind, make surface of noodle or Ho Fun firm and smooth enough and then easy to be lifted.

⑥   Continuous lifting on the rods

After pre-drying，the noodle will be lifted on the rods automatically and then continuously moving into the continuous aging tunnel without cutting.

⑦   Continuous aging

In order to have better texture in steady quality, the noodle will be aged inside the continuous tunnel, the temperature and moisture could be adjustable according to different products.

⑧   Rational cutting or wrapping into nest form

The noodle could be automatically rational cutting into stick type with required length or mechanically wrapped into nest form.

According to different form of final products stick type noodle or nest type noodle, the following device of drying and cooling will be required the related equipments.

⑨   Continuous drying and cooling tunnel

According to the drying curve set in advance, temperature and the humidity could be automatically adjusted in each drying and cooling areas.

In order to reach at required water moisture and keep better quality of the final products, the noodle will be transferred into cooling tunnel automatically and lowed down to suitable room temperature for packing. After drying and cooling, the noodle is much more flexible without cracking.

⑩  Rational cutting machine

If choose the stick type noodle production, the noodle will be rational cut into required length according neatly; cutting length could be adjustable by PLC.

⑪  Each part of whole production line realizes auto-flushing.
