High-Value Fully Automatic Non-Fried Instant Noodles  Equipment

Differentiation from traditional fried instant noodles

Traditional fried instant noodles are typically cooked by deep - frying the pre - formed noodles in oil. This process not only imparts a distinct crispy texture but also significantly increases the oil content of the product. In contrast, non - fried instant noodles are produced through alternative methods that avoid direct contact with hot oil. For example, while fried noodles may have an oil content ranging from 18% to 22%, non - fried noodles can have an oil content as low as 5% or even less. This fundamental difference in production method has a profound impact on the nutritional profile, shelf - life, and sensory characteristics of the final product.

 

Growing consumer demand for healthier options

In recent years, there has been a global shift in consumer dietary preferences towards healthier food choices. Consumers are becoming more aware of the potential health risks associated with high - fat diets, such as obesity, heart disease, and high cholesterol. As a result, there is a burgeoning demand for convenient food products that do not compromise on health. Non - fried instant noodles, with their lower oil content and potentially higher nutritional value, have emerged as an attractive alternative. Surveys show that in developed markets like Europe and North America, the demand for non - fried instant noodles has been growing at an annual rate of 8 - 10% in the past five years. In Asia, where instant noodles are a staple food, the demand for non - fried varieties is also on the rise, driven by increasing health consciousness among the middle - class population.

The role in meeting the production needs of non - fried instant noodles

The high - value fully automatic non - fried instant noodles manufacturing equipment is designed to streamline the production process of non - fried noodles. It addresses the challenges associated with mass - producing non - fried noodles while maintaining consistent quality. The equipment can handle large volumes of raw materials, ensuring a continuous and efficient production flow. For instance, it can mix flour, water, and various ingredients in precise ratios, which is crucial for achieving the right dough consistency for non - fried noodles. This consistency is different from that required for fried noodles, as non - fried drying methods have specific requirements for the dough structure. The equipment also enables the shaping and drying of noodles in a way that adheres to the unique characteristics of non - fried production, such as gentle steaming or controlled air - drying processes.

Working Process of the non-fried instant noodles extrusion technology

Machine Name	Function
Mixer	fully mix and stir flour, water, salt, alkali and other raw materials to form dough with certain elasticity, toughness and humidity, providing a basis for subsequent processing.
Compound rolling and shaping machine	the matured dough is gradually rolled into a dough sheet with uniform thickness through multiple sets of rollers, and then the dough sheet is cut into noodles through the forming device to determine the shape and specifications of the noodles.
Steaming machine	Generates steam to provide heat source for steaming noodles. It allows noodles to mature in a short time, prepares for the subsequent frying or drying process, and improves the taste and rehydration of noodles.
Cutting machine	Cuts the continuous noodles according to the set length to form a dough blank that meets the packaging specifications.
Oven	Put the cut dough blank into high  temperature for baking, so that the dough is quickly dehydrated and dried, fixes the shape of the noodles, and gives the dough a unique aroma and taste, extending the shelf life.
Cooling conveyor	Through air cooling or water cooling, the temperature of the cake after frying is quickly reduced to solidify the oil inside the cake, which is convenient for packaging and prevents the cake from deteriorating or deforming due to high temperature.
Packing machine	The cooled cakes and seasoning packets are packaged in a certain way to form the final instant noodle product, which plays a role in protecting the product and facilitating storage and sales

Characteristics of non-fried instant noodles equipment

 

1.Continuous production process

From kneading to cutting and shaping: After the dough is mixed, it is automatically conveyed to a continuous kneading machine. This machine is equipped with a series of rollers and kneading arms that work together to knead the dough continuously. The kneading intensity can be adjusted to achieve the best gluten formation for non-fried noodles. After kneading, the dough passes through a series of pressing rollers until it reaches the desired thickness. These rollers are precisely spaced to ensure that the dough sheet is of uniform thickness. The dough sheet is then fed to a noodle cutter, which cuts the dough sheet into various widths depending on the noodle type. The cut noodles are then shaped into straight or curly shapes using a specialized forming mechanism.

 

2.Automated packaging system

Precise portioning and sealing of the finished product: The packaged noodles are accurately portioned using volumetric or gravimetric portioning systems. Gravimetric portioning systems use load cells to measure the weight of each portion of noodles, ensuring the exact amount of noodles in each package.

 

3.High - quality materials used in construction​

Stainless steel for durability and hygiene: The entire body of the equipment, including the mixing chamber, conveyor belts, and drying chambers, is made of high - grade stainless steel. Stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion, which is crucial in a food - manufacturing environment where the equipment is exposed to moisture and various food ingredients. It also meets strict hygiene standards as it is easy to clean and does not harbor bacteria. The use of stainless steel ensures the long - term durability of the equipment, reducing the need for frequent replacements. For example, the equipment can have a lifespan of up to 10 - 15 years with proper maintenance, compared to equipment made of lower - quality materials that may need to be replaced every 5 - 7 years.​

 

4.Advanced control systems​

PLCs are at the heart of the equipment's control system. They are programmed to control every aspect of the production process, from raw material handling to packaging.

 

FAQ

2. Is the equipment complicated to operate? Is it easy for our local workers to operate it?

The equipment is easy to operate and adopts an advanced PLC automatic control system. Most operations are completed through a simple human-machine interface. After about 7 days of systematic training by our professional team, workers can master operations from raw material loading, production monitoring to daily maintenance, and quickly get started with the equipment.

 

3. Is the taste and quality of noodles produced by non-frying technology stable?

The non-frying technology is mature and can ensure the stability of the taste and quality of noodles. The drying process uses precisely controlled steam and air drying, with steam at 100-105°C for 3-5 minutes, air at 40-60°C and humidity at 30-40%, to ensure uniform drying. The noodles are soft and retain their original flavor. Long-term production data shows that the product quality stability exceeds 95%.

 

4.Is the maintenance cost of the equipment high? How is the after-sales service guaranteed?

The maintenance cost is not high. The main body is made of high-grade stainless steel, which is durable and corrosion-resistant, with a normal service life of 10-15 years. The modular design of key components is easy to replace and repair. We have a complete after-sales service system and service outlets in many places around the world. If there is a problem with the equipment, call the 24-hour hotline and the technical team will respond within 2 hours.
