The process flow of puffed nutritional powder production line

With the acceleration of modern life pace, people are paying more and more attention to convenient, fast, and nutritious food. Puffed nutritional powder, as a nutritious and easily digestible food, has been favored by a large number of consumers. This article will provide a detailed introduction to the process flow of the puffed nutritional powder production line, so that readers can better understand the various stages of this production process.
2、 Raw material preparation
The main raw materials for puffed nutritional powder include grains, beans, nuts, etc., which are rich in various nutrients such as protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. In the raw material preparation stage, it is necessary to select, clean, and dry these raw materials to ensure that their quality meets production requirements.
3、 Mixing and tempering of raw materials
The processed raw materials need to be mixed in a certain proportion to ensure the taste and balanced nutritional composition of the puffed nutritional powder. The mixed raw materials need to be added with an appropriate amount of water, seasoning, etc. for conditioning treatment to form a wet dough or paste like material that can be squeezed.
4、 Extrusion swelling
Squeezing is the core link of the puffed nutritional powder production line. Feed the quenched and tempered wet dough or paste like material into an extruder and extrude it into a specific shape through a mold under high temperature and pressure conditions. During the extrusion process, the moisture in the raw material vaporizes instantly, and the internal pressure is rapidly released, causing the material volume to rapidly expand into a fluffy state. The extrusion puffing machine can adjust the pressure and temperature as needed to achieve the best puffing effect.
5、 Drying and shaping
The puffed food removes excess moisture in the drying equipment, further solidifies and forms the final puffed nutritional powder. During the drying process, it is necessary to control the temperature and humidity to ensure the quality and taste of the puffed nutritional powder.
6、 Crushing and screening
The dried puffed nutritional powder needs to be sent to a crusher for crushing treatment to turn it into a delicate powder. The crushed nutritional powder needs to go through screening equipment to remove impurities with larger particles and raw materials that have not been fully expanded, ensuring the purity and taste of the product.
7、 Packaging and Storage
The puffed nutritional powder processed by the above process flow needs to be packaged. Usually, plastic bags, aluminum foil bags, and other packaging forms are used to prevent products from being damp, contaminated, and spoiled during transportation and storage. After packaging, the product needs to be stored in a dry, ventilated, and cool place, avoiding direct sunlight and high temperature environments.
8、 Characteristics of the production line
1. High degree of automation: The puffed nutritional powder production line adopts advanced automation equipment and technology, achieving automatic mixing, tempering, extrusion puffing, drying, crushing, screening, and packaging of raw materials, greatly improving production efficiency and product quality.
2. Stable product quality: The production line ensures stable quality of puffed nutritional powder through precise temperature control and process design, balanced nutritional composition, delicate taste, and easy digestion and absorption.
3. Strong flexibility: The production line can adjust product specifications and shapes according to market demand to adapt to market changes. At the same time, the process flow and equipment configuration of the production line can be adjusted according to the characteristics and needs of different raw materials to meet the requirements of different customers.
4. Efficient and energy-saving: The production line equipment is configured reasonably, and key links such as drying and puffing are all equipped with efficient and energy-saving technologies, reducing energy consumption and production costs.
9、 Conclusion
The puffed nutritional powder production line is an efficient, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly production equipment that can produce puffed nutritional powder products with rich nutrition and delicate taste. Through scientific process design and advanced equipment configuration, the full utilization of raw materials and high-quality production of products have been achieved. With the improvement of people's health awareness and the development of the food industry, puffed nutritional powder as a healthy, convenient, and fast food will be increasingly favored by people.
