Ligne de production de flocons de maïs aux céréales pour petit-déjeuner

The breakfast cereal corn flakes production line is to make corn flakes from cereals such as corn flour, wheat flour, oat flour, rice flour, etc. The raw materials, after being extruded and puffed through the double-screw extruder, can be formed into various shapes such as grains, circles, and small particles. After baking and drying, they can be processed into cereal breakfast products. Alternatively, they can be pressed into flakes using a flaking machine to produce cereal products like cornflakes and oat flakes. This production line completes the entire process from ingredient mixing, extrusion, flaking, drying, seasoning, to packaging in one continuous and highly automated operation.

Main Production Processes

1. Mixing: Corn flour or oat flour, nutritional additives, and a certain proportion of water are thoroughly mixed using a mixer.
2. Extrusion Puffing: The mixed ingredients enter the twin-screw extruder. Under heat and pressure in the heating zone, the material undergoes extrusion and shearing, leading to an increase in temperature and pressure. Due to the high-temperature and high-pressure conditions, the material rapidly expands, producing small particles.
3. Flaking: The small particles are pressed into thin flakes.
4. Séchage: Excess moisture is removed from the flakes to enhance the texture and crispness of the cereal.
5. High-Temperature Baking: Baking at high temperatures makes the cereal more crispy. This process also imparts a unique flavor and aroma through caramelization and browning reactions.
6. Seasoning and Sugar Coating: The flakes enter the flavoring machine, where they are coated with a prepared seasoning or sugar mixture.
7. Séchage: To remove any remaining moisture of corn flakes and solidify the sugar coating.
8. Emballage: Sugar-coated flakes are transported to the packaging line for packaging, labeling, and preparation for shipment to the market.

1. Highly Automated Process: The production line adopts a highly automated process, where tasks from raw material input to final packaging are completed under the control of automated equipment, enhancing production efficiency and consistency.
2. Versatility: The production line is multifunctional, capable of manufacturing cornflakes with different flavors, shapes and brands. By adjusting parameters on the production line, it can meet diverse market demands.
3. Customizable: The cornflakes production line is customizable, allowing machines between different sections to be combined and adjusted according to specific needs, accommodating various production scales and product types.
4. The twin-screw extruder employs variable frequency speed regulation, providing powerful and stable operation with low energy consumption, contributing to energy efficiency.

This breakfast cereal corn flakes production line can be applied in various fields, including the food processing industry, food production factories, retail markets and the restaurant industry. The corn flakes, oatmeal, Cheerios, puffed rice and other cereals produced have a smooth texture and a rich cereal flavor. Corn flakes can be eaten immediately after opening the bag or brewed with milk or hot water.
