For detailsBatch Mixer
There are two types of the mixer; vacuum and normal pressure. Vacuum Mixier: Expel the air from the inside of mixing chamber, in doing so, the flour gets hydrated. Even high moisture dough, it is possible to make firmer textured noodles. This is one of the equipment to have individuality for noodles.
Continuous mixer
Producing perfectly hydrated state by regularly feeding flour ingredients and water to mixing chamber. By doing this, flour and water are evenly mixed, the state of the dough is well after rolling out. There is also a difference in texture. The dough came out from mixing unit is transport to a kneading unit, putting in a given time and then move to Feeder or Sheeting and Rolling Machine.
Feeder
From the Mixer or Kneader, the dough keeps going to Sheeting and Rolling Machine. The dough in moving slow speed on the conveyor and it break into pieces at the end. Then transport to Sheeting and Rolling Machine. The doors at side and end are openable with safety sensor to make it easy to clean up.
Dough rolling machine
This machine rolls out the dough that comes out from Mixer of Feeder, into a sheet shape. For more improvement of the flatten dough sheet, press the two or three sheet together to make it two layers or three layers noodles sheet.
Aging conveyor
This is mostly for boiled noodles. Aging the Noodles-sheet by hanging at the bar in the aging chamber and taking enough time to aging it by slowing the movement. The aging chamber is sealed up to keep the condition of humidity and temperature. It will need to use a humidifier, a heater or both to be ready for the operation.
Continuous rolling machine
Roll out the belt-shaped dough through the roller to make it more thinly. Due to the elasticity of the dough itself, it should be rolling not at once but little by little. Accordingly, the thickness of the dough become stable.
| Roller width | 150 to 1350(mm) |
|---|---|
| Roller steps | 3 to 7 |
| Roller materials | FC, Two layers type, SUS, Fluororesin coating |
| Roller shape | Flat, Wave, Large-diameter, Nu-roller, Beat-roller |
Boiling machine
Cut noodles are boiled in this tank and then cooling in water washing tank.
Boiling tank moves up and down to facilitate the cleaning and the maintaining.
Temomi (Handmade style) machine
Typically, it is for fresh noodles. After cutting the noodles-sheet with Slitter in a thin line shape, rolling it through the particular form to add the hand kneading taste.
Hanging conveyor
Mostly, it is used for dried noodles. Hang the long thin striped noodles to the rod, and carries to the drying room.
Steamer
Primarily, it is for instant noodles. By steaming the noodles in high-temperature, the starch became pregelatinized.
To develop efficient steaming, put the nozzle that provide water or boiling water at the gate as machine's standard feature. Our standard design steam header provides more steam flow compare to the others.
As our standard specification, it is sealed by using water instead of packing.
It is easy to clean after the operation. It helps to keep the machine cleanly. One layer type: its top and bottom are symmetrically-slide open. Three layers type: its side door is hinged at the top, widely openable. As our special feature, there is no need to take out the equipment from inside for cleaning.
Cutting machine
Cutting the cooked noodles and transport to the Fryer.
Half-fold noodles Maximum 1200meals/min (100cuts/min).
Cup type noodles Maximum 1000meals/min (125cuts/min).
Those spinning cutter blades need to be constantly sharpened; it is almost same as a kitchen knife.
Our cutter unit is removable and easy to maintain.
Reducing the worker's effort and required time by reviewing the structure of switching times.
Fryer
Put the noodles into high-temperature oil that evaporate the moisture inside the noodles.
Easy to clean up and maintenance by the lifting device.
Materials: Iron, Stainless, Fluorine resin
Compare to the others its cup is thicker, thus, the remaining of the noodles is much less.
Measuring the temperature at six places in Oil pan.
There is Temperature controlling system.
Suppring oil stably via the hole, four places at the gate and two places at the exit.
This device provides the filter paper into the oil pan inaccurate quantity to keep the oil clean.
There are two types, for Loosened noodles and Half folded noodles. There is no need to arrange a worker at the entrance gate of Fryer.
Cooler
Our Jet-blow type cooling machine is patented.
To cool down the noodles efficiently, we considered the balance of supply air and exhaust air.
Materials: Stainless, Plastic
Its structure is easy to clean by uplifting the conveyor bar.
Including the rejection device for wasters as our standard equipment, there also a device that can eject wasters individually at each line on demand from customers
