The macaroni production line is an automated equipment that uses durum wheat flour as the main raw material and is used to produce macaroni food in various shapes such as spirals, shells, and round tubes through extrusion, cooking, and die forming.

Component equipment and process flow

Raw material preparation and mixing

Powder mixer: According to production requirements, flour and other raw materials are prepared and mixed and stirred by the powder mixer to ensure uniform raw materials. At the same time, during the mixing process, the stirring wings can prevent the material from being "overhead" in the barrel to ensure that the material is fully mixed.

Conveying: The mixed raw materials are transported to the next process through a screw conveyor.

Extrusion molding and cutting

Single screw extruder: Use a single screw extruder to extrude the raw materials to form the shape of macaroni. Depending on the type of product, the model and parameters of the extruder will vary.

Cutter: The extruded long macaroni is cut into the required length by the conveyor cutter.

Drying and cooling

Pre-drying: The cut macaroni is sent to the preheating device through a high elevator for preliminary drying to remove some moisture.

Main drying: Use an oven to dry the macaroni to further remove moisture and reach a suitable degree of dryness.

Cooling: The dried macaroni is cooled by a cooler to prevent overheating from affecting the quality.

Packaging

The cooled macaroni is automatically packaged through the packaging system to form a finished product. The packaging system may include multi-head weighing, packaging machines and other equipment.

Core Process and Technology

1. Adopt continuous vacuum extrusion technology to ensure that the product is crystal clear, bubble-free and chewy.

Support single screw extruder, flexible switching of mold shape (such as spiral, shell, round tube, etc.) to meet the needs of diversified products.

2. High degree of automation, precise parameter control, reducing labor costs and improving product consistency.

Reasonable design, the main machine is equipped with high and low pressure screws, expanding the scope of raw material application and improving quality.

Raw materials and applicability

The main raw material is hard wheat flour, and potato starch, corn starch or flour can also be used to produce pasta with different tastes by adjusting the formula.
