Steaming stands as a pivotal stage in the manufacture of instant noodles, a process essential for both fried and non-fried varieties. This procedure involves subjecting the wavy noodle strands to controlled temperature and time, facilitating the gelatinization of raw starch. The degree of gelatinization directly impacts the final product's quality, most notably influencing the rehydration rate of the noodle block—the time it takes for the noodles to soften and become palatable when soaked in hot water. Without proper steaming, the noodles would not achieve the desired texture and cooking characteristics.
The equipment central to this operation is the steaming machine, a sophisticated assembly of key components. These include a continuous conveyor belt, chains, steam injection pipes, exhaust vents, an insulated bottom trough, an insulated upper hood, and a sturdy support frame. The conveyor system, which transports the noodle strands through the steam chamber, typically comes in two forms. One type is a perforated steel plate belt, made from thin stainless steel. While easier to manufacture, its limited perforations restrict steam circulation, leading to less efficient gelatinization. This design is also prone to misalignment during operation and has a shorter service life. The superior alternative is a mesh belt woven from stainless steel wire, driven by durable stainless steel chains. This design offers excellent steam permeability, stable tracking without deviation, superior steaming results, and exceptional longevity, albeit at a higher initial cost than its perforated counterpart.
To achieve optimal steaming results and, consequently, high-quality noodle blocks, manufacturers must carefully consider their equipment choice. Zhengzhou Dongfang Naomu Food Machinery Co., Ltd. has developed comprehensive expertise in instant noodle production line technology. Serving numerous large-scale food enterprises both domestically and internationally, the company specializes in designing and building machinery tailored to specific client requirements, including diverse noodle block dimensions and weights. Their commitment extends beyond equipment provision to offering comprehensive system services and professional technical support, ensuring that clients can produce finished products with the ideal texture and rehydration properties that consumers expect.
