Innovative Extrusion Process
Corn flakes/ breakfast cereal flakes making machine production process:

Ingredients→Mixing→Extrusion→Flaking→Pre-drying→Baking→Spraying→Drying→Cooling→Packing

Corn flakes production begins with grinding raw corn to make cornmeal. After the corn flour is blended with water, it is fed into a specially designed extruder cavity, where it is cooked, kneaded, and mechanically sheared. The extrudate is cut with highly rotating knifes to form pellets. The extruded balls are rolled into thin sheets by rollers, and then baked at high temperature to produce a crispy texture. At this point, the original/plain cornflake is complete. According to market demand, seasoning drum can be used to sprinkle salt on the plain corn flakes. If plain cornflake is to be coated, it is coated with such as syrup, chocolate, etc. Finally, the flake is dried, cooled and packaged.

Production Diversity
In addition to flakes, by changing the mold, the extrusion technology can also produce round balls, rings and animal shapes to meet diverse market needs. In addition, corn, as raw material, can be replaced by other grains, such as wheat flour, rice flour, oat flour, etc. to produce different cereal flake, like rice flake, oat flake, etc. to increase your product variety.
