Breakfast Cereal Cooking Equipment

First developed by Will Kellogg in 1894, corn flakes’ popularity grew exponentially. Made from toasting flakes of corn (maize) and served with cold milk, corn flakes have become a favorite breakfast cereal snack for millions around the world. Corn flakes production begins with milling raw corn, creating cornmeal which is then extruded to create corn flakes.

Corn flakes

Children love them, and adults love them too. Extruded cereal is a typical ready-to-eat cereal with different flavors and shapes. You pour cold milk into a bowl of extruded cereal and eat them for breakfast or sometimes as a dessert. These shapes of cereals are refined by thermo-mechanical cereal extruder machines. Typically, extruded cereal can be categorized into three kinds: direct expanded cereal, co-extruded cereal, and extruded flakes. Depending on which kind of extruded cereal you are making among these three kinds, your choice of processing line will differ.

Granola is one of the most beloved breakfast menus for its versatility and convenience - you can put it in milk, use it as a topping for yogurt, or even make healthy cookies out of it. Setting up a granola production equipment line is quite similar to muesli. The only difference would be that the sheet of hard grains, nuts, and dried fruits goes through the baking process.

Granola

Muesli, known as the adults’ cereal, is a loose mixture of rolled oats, whole grains, seeds, nuts, and dried fruits. Unlike granola, the muesli manufacturing process goes through rather simple steps. All of the ingredients are combined in the mixer without any specific cooking or baking process. This loose mixture is then packed individually, either in stand-up pouches, paper bags, paper tube and so on.

If you like a warm and easy breakfast, oatmeal can be a great option for you. Oatmeal, most commonly known as rolled oats, is prepared oats ready to consume in a form of porridge or cereal. Other than rolled oats, there are other types of oatmeal - such as steel-cut oats, quick oats, and instant oats. You first need to prepare clean oat groats - the hulled kernels of wild oats, and you can decide which oatmeal processing equipment you would like to set up and depending on the oatmeal of your choice.

From Asia to America, different forms of puffed rice bars - or as known as Rice Krispies - are enjoyed in diverse forms. Puffed rice bars or popped rice bars are made of puffed rice, sugar (or sweetener that works as a binder), additional flavorings such as vanilla or chocolate, and perhaps different sorts of grains and nuts.

Industrial Cookers

Whether it is marmalade or pizza, sauce or hummus, chocolate or fruit puree, most food products undergo a cooking step during their production process. Cooking is nothing more than applying heat to food, but there are different methods to do it. For instance, baking, frying, and roasting involve cooking food without using water, unlike boiling or steaming. Industrial cookers such as vacuum and pressure cookers, industrial fryers, industrial ovens, and industrial roasters focus on specialized applications that meet the different needs of the food industry by helping producers achieve a homogeneous cooking process.

Cereals are also defined as breakfast food made from roasted grain and typically eaten with milk or yogurt. Cereal grain is a small, hard, and dry seed, which mainly harvests for human or animal consumption, like wheat, maize, or rye. Processed from the edible components of the grains, breakfast cereals contain rich nutrients and usually serve as the main course during breakfast meals. Different cereal manufacturing equipment allow various options to appear on the market, ranging from cereals, granola, and muesli. Granola and muesli can be converted into cereal bars. The healthy, on-the-go snack bar shows a growing trend due to its nutrient content and convenience.

Our food chain starts in the soil, growing crops and livestock. But between the fields and the stores, there is a line of industrial food processing equipment. Processes may be as minimalistic as cleaning fruit and as complex as homogenizing milk alternatives made from pressed legumes. In each case, processing technology is an important link in the food production chain.

If Popeye needed spinach for his power, you need healthy snacks to boost your energy! From dried fruit chips to nuts and protein bars, healthy snacks have become more popular since the 2000s, and the global healthy snack market will reach USD 98 billion by 2025. In the wide range of healthy snacks, raw fruits and vegetables appear as the main ingredient, and these snacks focus on the high protein content and reduced fat or carbohydrate percentages. Also, “less processed” and “less amount of added chemicals” are the primary trend in making healthy snacks as the clean eating movement began after the 2000s.

The heating process is a step of raising the temperature of food, pharma, cosmetics, and many other types of products. You may employ different heating solutions for this process, depending on the type of product you intend to manufacture. Selecting the appropriate heater machine for your product is quite important since various products require different ranges of temperatures and different ways of heat transfer using exchangers. Industrial heating equipment varies in two ways - the type of material it can process and the reaction you want to achieve.

Industrial food processors are a vital component of the food processing industry. Large-scale food processing is made possible with the help of food processing equipment and automated food processing systems. Food production lines that utilize these technologies can increase efficiency, reduce costs, and maintain consistent quality control. But what exactly does an industrial food processor do? Simply put, it's a machine that processes raw materials into finished products. There are three types of food processors: batch processors, continuous processors, and combination processors. Batch processors are used for small-scale production runs, while continuous processors are ideal for high-volume production.

Food Processors

During the Middle Ages, sugar sweets were a delicacy only for the rich due to the high cost of sugar. Thankfully, the discovery that sugar could be extracted from sugar beets made sweets affordable for everyone. The sweet category is broad, covering chocolates, chewing gums, sugar candies, and candied/glazed products with sugar. To make these confections, sugar manufacturing equipment needs to cover different steps within the production line such as sugar dissolution, syrup cooking and cooling.

Sweets

Syrup

Enrobing your food products means coating them with additional ingredients such as chocolate, syrup, or sugar. By automating this process you produced homogeneous results and reduce wastage. Items are fed to the enrobing machine to be fully or partially covered. Following this, a blower and an agitator combine to shake any excess coating off the individual products.

Enrobing

Industrial mixing equipment is used to combine two or more solid, liquid or gaseous segregated ingredients into a homogenous single product. The choice of mixing technology depends largely on the physical state of the ingredients and the desired final product. But the sensitivity of the ingredients, the process temperature, and pressure requirements are also critical factors. All these parameters result in a wide range of industrial mixers.

You make granola bars from caramelized nuts, grains, and cereals, baking and shaping them into crunchy snacks. Granola bar production involves mixing, forming, baking, and cutting into bars. The quality of granola bars is affected by baking. How the sugar caramelizes and blends with the other ingredients determines the final taste and texture of your granola bar.

Granola bars

Chocolate bars are popular snacks and gifts for many occasions and events, dating back to the Mayans and the Aztecs. They may also include other ingredients such as caramel, fruits, or nuts. Considering making chocolate bars? Make sure, though, that your chocolate bar making equipment can cover various processes such as grinding and melting, tempering, refining, and cooling.

In NASA's early years, a research program was established on how to provide food for astronauts while in space. In fact, in the 1960s, nutrition bars were launched with a label called "Space Food Sticks" because they were designed to allow astronauts to eat them easily while wearing their helmets. Protein bar manufacturing equipment is used to mix ingredients, extrude the mixture at a set temperature, cool the product before cutting it to size, coating it, and allowing it to cool to prepare it for packaging.

Cooking liquid and semi-solid foods like jams and sauces is a time-intensive process. Sealed thermal cookers speed up the step by cooking in a vacuum or under pressure. Besides greater time efficiency, vacuum cooker technology retains nutritional properties, texture, and flavors. The choice of a suitable thermal vacuum cooker depends on the batch size, cooking temperatures, and vacuum/pressure requirements. These parameters vary on the recipe and product type. One of the main considerations when selecting vacuum cooking technology is the cleaning process following use. An easy and quick cleaning system reduces downtime and maximizes on-site operations.

The extruder was first developed to make lead pipes in the late 18th century. But the extrusion process technique quickly spread to other manufacturing sectors, including food, feed, and biomass products. An extruder machine presses a fluid or solid material through a die. Depending on your use case, extruders adopt single- or twin-screw systems to push the premixed feed material through a barrel. Thermal pressure applied in this step can chemically modify the mixture, so the screw system must be precisely calibrated to achieve the desired result. Finally, a knife head cuts the extruded material into your designed dimensions. Extrusion machinery produces items of a uniform size, shape, and consistency.

Vegan meat alternatives and plant-based foods have rapidly grown in popularity over the last decade. Many people are switching to meat substitute food products. Your body does not discriminate between proteins and calories coming from meats and those coming from plants. From a nutritional point of view, they all have the same value. But chewing on a portion of veggie pumpkin protein does not feel the same as a cut of meat - the texture is completely different.

Nougat is a delicious confection that contains lots of nuts and dried fruits. The word “nougat” itself derives from an old Latin word for nuts. In addition to nuts, the white variety of nougat contains egg whites, honey, and sugar. Similar ingredients make brown nougat variations, except caramelized sugar replaces egg whites as the base ingredient. Depending on your intended scale of production, there are quite a few nougat making equipment you should consider getting.

Fruit pulp is a mass of pressed fresh fruit not meant for immediate consumption. Production of fruit pulp avoids wasting food and preserves the flavors and nutrient value of the fruit product. Processed fruit pulp is an ingredient in beverages, sauces, baby foods, jellies, smoothies, and bakery products.

Tradition and manufacturing procedures dictate the distinction between fruit juice, puree, and pulp. Still, naming and labeling are complex and depend on regulations, type of fruit, texture, consistency, preservation methods, and sugar or solid content (measured in Degrees Brix). Depending on your desired output, there are various fruit pulper machines for different stages of production that make the process quicker and more efficient.

Dosing systems are a line of hoppers, feeders, filling machines, and checkweighers that operate in sync to dispense materials accurately. Dosing is an essential feature of the packaging process, whether you’re filling shampoo bottles or tea bags. But dosing equipment is critical for formulations, too, particularly in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Imprecise dosing may cause quality degradation in the best-case scenario. In the worst scenario, it creates serious health risks.

Dosing

The process of forming allows you to shape your products homogeneously. Forming machines are fed the manufactured material in bulk and cut it down to specification, so the process takes place between formulation of the mass and the packaging of the final item.

A special class of this equipment – Form, Fill, and Seal Machines (FFS) – creates bags and pouches from flat material such as plastic sheets, fills them with your designated product, and seals them.

Breakfast cereal is one of the most popular meals to eat in the morning around the world. Cereals go through a vast production line. They are usually processed from raw materials such as cereal corn, oats, wheat, and rice. After harvesting, the grains will be crushed to remove the outer layer or ground into <a href="https://making.com/flour" target="_blank" rel="noopener">flour</a>. To prepare the grains ready to be shaped, they are sent into a rotating <a href="https://making.com/search?s=pressure+cooker" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pressure cooker</a> and a<a href="https://making.com/search?s=drying%20oven" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> drying oven</a>. When the grains are grounded into flour, they’ll then be cooked in a cooking <a href="https://making.com/technologies/extrusion" target="_blank" rel="noopener">extruder</a>, which mixes the flour with other ingredients such as water, vitamins, or flavorings.

After stabilizing the moisture content of the grains, they can be further processed into desired forms ranging from flaked, puffed, shredded, or other special forms of cereals. <a href="https://making.com/granola" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Granolas</a> and <a href="https://making.com/muesli" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mueslis</a> involve mixing grains with <a href="https://making.com/products/nuts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nuts</a> or fruits and cooking them on a conveyor belt through an oven.

Cereals can be made in various forms and shapes through extruders and <a href="https://making.com/technologies/pelleting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pellets</a>. Gone are the days when there were only breakfast cornflakes. Nowadays, there are so many different varieties of breakfast cereals. Special forms of cereals, such as circles or shapes of alphabets, can also be achieved by adding a die to the end of the extruder to form a ribbon which will later be cut.

Granolas are processed by baking the grains until crispy, coating them with honey, and sometimes mixed with <a href="https://making.com/dried-fruits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">dried fruits</a> or chocolate chips. On the other hand, muesli keeps the most nutrients since the grains are directly flattened and mixed with dried fruits or other ingredients.

Different types of breakfast cereals

In the <a href="https://making.com/products/healthy-snacks" target="_blank" rel="noopener">healthy snacking</a> sector, <a href="https://making.com/cereal-bars" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cereal bars</a> and cereal-based snacks play a large part in the demand for healthier eating due to the nutrient content and convenience factor. To process cereal mix to cereal bars, accurate feeding of major ingredients and <a href="https://making.com/technologies/moulding" target="_blank" rel="noopener">molding</a> are quite essential.

First, the cereal mix should be mixed evenly with the binder, which is usually agglutinate syrups. After the mixture is laminated and dried, it can be cut into a bar shape and fed into a <a href="https://making.com/search?s=flow+wrapper" target="_blank" rel="noopener">flow wrapper</a> for packaging.

Producing cereal bars and snacks - way more than cornflakes!

<h2>Packing your cereal products</h2>
While some cereals, such as shredded wheat, are pretty resistant to moisture and stored directly in cardboard boxes, some cereal products need to be placed in an airtight and waterproof bag to protect them from being damaged. Resealable, flexible, and stand-up pouches have shown a growing trend in <a href="https://making.com/search?s=cereal&amp;process=packing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cereal packaging</a>. At the same time, as the off-to-go snack bar has become more popular, single-serve packing also shows its potential.

It took the scientific community almost 70 years to agree on the name ‘protein’ and discard the popular alternative, proteid. But protein powder processing still needed another five decades to be commercialized in the 1950s. Once extraction and purification could be industrialized, protein powder soon became a basic staple supplement.
