I. Introduction of Precooked Extruded Rice Flour

Precooked rice meal is made from the ordinary rice flour, which is either baked or extruded. Like precooked corn flour, precooked rice flour cooks quickly as it was gelatinized already. According to the different characteristics of the precooked rice flour, it has a wide range of usage – used as the main raw material, auxiliary material or improver in the food processing industry. For example, it can be used for processing bakery rice flour, rice snack food, baby food, rice nutrient powder, dishes thickener, animal feed, etc.

The grain extrusion process is the main method of cooking rice flour. The rice extruder is easy to operate and has low production cost. By adjusting the parameters of the rice extrusion process, such as extrusion temperature, pressure, time, etc., rice flour with different expansion degrees and characteristics can be obtained. According to different application fields of precooked ricemeal, its raw materials can be either fresh rice or broken rice.

After ultrafine pulverization, add the required nutrients or other supplements through the drum seasoning line to obtain rice flour products with different nutritional components and functions.

Flexibility and Versatility

• According to market demand, the processing parameters can be flexibly adjusted to produce precooked rice powder of various characteristics. For example, this cereal extrusion machine can produce ricemeal with different expansion degrees, low, medium or high degrees, different fineness after crushing, or with different grains and nutrients additives, etc.
• By simply adding or skipping some manufacturing steps and changing the grain extrusion process, other nutritional grain meal can be produced by this grain extrusion machine, such as rice nutritional powder, oat nutritional powder, nutritional bran powder, etc.
