The entire operation of a vacuum dough mixer is automatically and continuously controlled by a unified electrical system. It allows for the flexible setting of mixing speed, mixing duration, water addition time, vacuum extraction time, and the timing and position of the bowl tilting mechanism. By following pre-set programs, the mixer autonomously completes the dough preparation process, significantly reducing manual intervention and enhancing production efficiency.
During mixing, the chamber is under a vacuum state, which effectively removes air from the flour. When water is introduced, it is instantly atomized into a fine mist, ensuring thorough penetration to the core of the flour particles. Mixing under this vacuum pressure facilitates the rapid and complete absorption of water by the flour's proteins. This promotes the optimal development of a gluten network within a short timeframe. Consequently, the resulting dough exhibits superior gluten strength, chewiness, and elasticity compared to dough from conventional mixers, ultimately improving the taste and texture of the final products.
The vacuum mixing process also prevents the flour from overheating. It enables full and even hydration at lower temperatures, which is crucial for maintaining the freshness of the dough. More importantly, it prevents excessive temperature rise during processing that could lead to protein denaturation.
Zhengzhou Dongfang Naomu Food Machinery Co., Ltd. incorporates this advanced technology in its fresh noodle production lines. The dough produced by these vacuum mixers has a loose surface yet a uniform internal structure, with high gluten value and excellent elasticity. This results in dough sheets with high transparency, non-stick properties, and a delightfully smooth mouthfeel.
