I. Introduction Of Wheat Flakes

Wheat flakes are another healthy breakfast cereal besides the corn flakes and bran flakes. Its raw material is wheat flour. Wheat flour contains protein, starch, fat, vitamins and inorganic salts, and the protein content in wheat is higher than that of other cereals, generally above 11%, and even up to 15%-20%. Nutritional fortification can also be carried out by scientifically adding trace elements.

This breakfast cereal industrial food processing equipment adopts the special extruder with extended twin screws. The specific steps of producing wheat flakes are as follows:

Combine wheat flour with water and other ingredients and stir well. The mixture is loaded into theextruder, and by setting the correct temperature and pressure, the mixture is extruded into pellets of desired size, and then the pellets are pressed into slices by rollers. The pressed pieces are dried, roasted, etc. to become crunchy. In this way, the plain wheat flake is done. According to market demand, seasoning drums can be used to sprinkle salt/sugar on plain wheat flakes. If plain wheat flakes are to be glazed, the flakes will be coated by spraying syrup or chocolate, etc. Finally, the flakes are dried, cooled and packed.
