Production Process Overview

The line transforms raw ingredients into finished products through a streamlined, continuous workflow:

Raw Material Preparation

• Flour, water, alkali, and optional additives (e.g., eggs, salt) are measured and mixed under vacuum to create elastic dough, preventing air bubbles for smooth noodles.
• Flour silo system, alkali liquid tank, brine mixer, vacuum dough kneader.

Dough Forming

• The dough is rolled into sheets via compound calendering, then cut into noodle strands of precise width and thickness
• Continuous rolling mills, noodle strip cutter.

Steaming

• Strands are partially cooked in a multi-layer steamer to gelatinize starches, enhancing rehydration during consumption
• High-capacity multi-layer steamer.

Cutting and Shaping

• Noodles are cut to length, folded into blocks, and pneumatically aligned for uniformity; optional cupping for bowl formats
• Noodle block cutter, pneumatic shaper.

Frying

• Blocks are deep-fried in palm or vegetable oil at controlled temperatures (140-160°C) for 1-2 minutes to achieve the signature crispy texture and extended shelf life (6-12 months)
• Continuous fryer with oil filtration and temperature control.

Cooling and De-Oiling

• Fried blocks are air-cooled and de-oiled to remove excess oil, ensuring balanced flavor and reduced fat content
• Multi-stage cooler, de-oiling conveyor.

Packaging

• Blocks are automatically oriented, sealed with seasoning packets, and packed into bags or cups, with optional nitrogen flushing for freshness
• Fully automatic packaging machine, labeling system.
