Subject: Example: Fried Rice Puffing Production Line;Process flow: Stone remover, crusher, mixer, grain extruder, electric fryer or iron pot, sealing machine.

Subject: Example: Fried Rice Puffing Production Line;Process Flow: Key Operational Points

Subject: Example: Fried Rice Puffing Production Line;Process Flow: (1) Selection and impurity removal.Remove impurities, select high-quality rice, and eliminate sand, stones, and other foreign materials.

Subject: Example: Fried Rice Puffing Production Line;Process Flow: (2) After mixing the raw materials, feed them into the crusher for size reduction.Mix the raw materials thoroughly according to the proportions specified in the formula, then add water during the mixing process. The water addition amount should be approximately 30% of the total material weight.

Subject: Example: Fried Rice Puffing Production Line;Process Flow: (3) Start extrusion.Before starting the extrusion puffing machine, feed a small amount of rice flour with high moisture content into the machine, then start the machine to ensure the wet material does not puff and passes smoothly through the die opening.Once the machine is operating normally, add the semi-dry feed material with a moisture content of 30%.If the volume is too fluffy after extrusion, it indicates that the water addition is insufficient.If the strips are soft, non-elastic, and not puffed, it indicates that the moisture content is too high.Both of the above situations should be avoided.The extruded strands must be semi-puffed, elastic, and have uniform pores.If the product fails to meet quality standards, it must be reprocessed through the machine.

Subject: Example: Fried Rice Puffing Production Line;Process Flow: (4) Cooling.Cool the extruded semi-finished product for several minutes, then cut it into small pieces with a knife.

Subject: Example: Fried Rice Puffing Production Line;Process Flow: (5) Frying.When the oil temperature reaches 130–140°C, pour the puffed rice cake blanks into the fryer for deep-frying.The frying time is 3 to 5 minutes.Adopts an automatic tilting fryer equipped with an automatic stirring system; the raw material appears white when entering the fryer and turns yellowish-white after resting for a period before exiting.

Subject: Example: Fried Rice Puffing Production Line;Process Flow: (6) Seasoning and Packaging.After the fried rice cake blanks are discharged from the fryer, they are sent to a mixing machine for seasoning and blending, and finally, the seasoned rice cakes are automatically weighed and packaged.

What conditions should be considered during implementation or selection?

First, it is essential to clarify the product type, raw material state, formulation direction, and expected finished product requirements.For projects involving extrusion, forming, drying, frying, conveying, seasoning, or packaging, the processing capacity and cycle time of each stage must be matched to avoid discrepancies between individual equipment capacity and the overall line requirements.

Secondly, the installation plan should be evaluated in conjunction with the workshop's spatial layout and utility conditions, including power supply, water supply, steam, or gas.Equipment configuration should also take into account long-term operational factors such as cleaning, maintenance, safety protection, spare parts supply, and operator training.Any process or equipment capabilities mentioned in this document are for reference only in the context of solution discussions and preliminary assessments.Specific model numbers, power ratings, production capacities, temperatures, and times shall be subject to the formal technical proposal and the results of trial runs or on-site verification.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the equipment be determined directly based on the standard configuration?

Not recommended.Different raw materials, product structures, target production capacities, and downstream processes can affect the equipment configuration.It is more prudent to confirm the product and process conditions before proceeding with the configuration assessment.

How to obtain more targeted advice?

It is recommended to prepare product images or sample information, raw material and formulation guidelines, target production capacity, existing workshop conditions, and planned downstream equipment configurations.Dayi Machinery can further discuss the applicable process routes and equipment configuration options based on this.
