Corn nuts making machines from farm to fork
To start the production process, soak the corn kernels in holding tanks. You need to do it because drying and harvesting the kernels leave them dehydrated and small. So the soaking process restores the corn kernels to their original shape and volume.
Afterwards, you can roast or deep-fry them. The thermal processing for your corn nuts can go about in 2 ways: either through roasting/baking or through frying. Roasting and baking can occur through conventional ovens, and the process can be through single batching or continuous conveyor designs.
You can also use corn nuts making machines with deep-fryers, with designs available also for single batches or continuous systems, depending on your production volume and demand.
