▶️ Corn Flakes Making Machine
And Breakfast Cereal Production Line

There are two kinds of raw materials for producing corn flakes with the corn flakes making machine. One is Maize (Corn) Meal, the other is maize (corn) flour, it can be mixed the corn starch or in fixed proportion. The other is degermed maize grits, it also can mix some spices during the producing process.

When the cornflour is used as feed material, firstly, the feed material is process in the corn flakes making machine mixer: Add corn flour or corn residue to nutritional additives and mix evenly with a certain proportion of water. And then the mixture is fed into the corn flakes making machine feeder. The mixed raw materials are transported to the feed hopper of the corn flakes making machine extruder. Extruder processes the raw material in the feeding hopper enters the extrusion system to be extruded and cut into small particles. These particles and then screened by a vibrating screen. disperse the particles. The air conveyor is used to transfer granular corn particles to the tablet cornflake rolling machine. In this machine the corn particles are pressed into corn flakes. Another air conveyor transports the corn flakes to the oven where the corn flakes are toasted to produce product corn flakes.

Process of corn flakes making machine to make classic corn flakes by the Corn Flakes Making Machine

I. Raw Material: The best material is hard dent corn, because of its transparency after gelatinization and good looking of the products.
II. Adopting the drying-degerming method. First, to regulate the moisture with the hot steam and hot water exceeding 90℃. And then to pre-grind the corn without germ. The mixture would separate out grits after evenly sieving.
III. Ingredients: To add the salt, malt and the other ingredients with the water during cooking the grits, it can make the water content up to 20％～35％, then to cook the grits with steam of 1.47X105P until gelatinized to semi-transparent.
IV. Drying: to dry and extrude the grits at 66℃ until the moisture is 19％～20％, cool it down to 30～40℃. Then to press the flake to  0.7～1mm with steel roller. Before pressing, the corns should be made dispersedly to ensure the chips evenly distributed.
VI. Roasting: Temperature: 250～350℃, Time: 20～150 seconds. to make the moisture down to 10％. To fry the chips with the temperature not exceed 200℃，the corn chips would be crispy.
VII. Spraying enhancer: To spray with nutrient substance to make it intensified corn chips or spread on sugar, flavor if necessary.

The high speed rolling machine is a key unit in the system of corn flakes making machine. It is composed of a pair of alloyed steel roll which rotate on opposite directions, high strength frame, hydraulic controlling system, auto adjusting roll seam system, cooling constant temperature system of the rolling, transmission system and control system. For the corn flakes making machine roller, it has high requirements to corn flakes making machine rolling technology, First, it requires high hardness of roller surface. If it can not meet the standard, the surface , not smooth as that, would be damaged after a period of using to effect the rolling. We can make the hardness of the surface more than 65 degrees with special technology. It allows you to use them in corn flakes making machine system for more than ten years. Secondly, it requires high accuracy requirements. If it can not meet the corn flakes making machine standard, you may find that the rolling can not evenly, it would be serious vibrating and noisy. Thus it requires us to control the processing procedure strictly, it has to make sure that the cylindricity of rolling is on 3μm. The rolling machine adopts hydraulic pressure control system, the roller can be adjusted the pressure to perfect situation according to the product characters to ensure the product quality. The servo regulating system of the roller allows you to adjust the gag in the range of 0-2mm. It is number display; you can read them easily and accurately. We design the cooling water tunnel inside the roller, so it can avoid the rolling gap changing occurred by expand with heat and contract with cold during working, as it would impact the corn flakes making machine roller operation. To ensure the rolling can work in a constant temperature condition we design a circulating cooling water & constant temperature control system which has the high pressure water pump for the cooling water tunnel inside the corn flakes making machine roller.

Design features
