Instant Noodle Production Lines

Instant noodles are one of the most successful food innovations of the last century. For a manufacturer, the challenge lies in producing thousands of “noodle cakes” per hour that have the perfect texture, a long shelf life, and the ability to rehydrate in minutes. At Gungunwala Food Equipment Pvt. Ltd., we provide fully integrated Instant Noodle Production Lines that automate every stage—from raw flour handling to the final cooling stage—ensuring maximum hygiene and consistency.

The Science of the Noodle Cake: A Synchronized Process

Unlike traditional pasta, instant noodles go through a unique “pre-cooking” process that involves both steaming and frying.

1. Advanced Dough Mixing and Rolling

The process starts with an industrial mixer that combines wheat flour with kansui (alkaline water). The dough then passes through a series of Compounding Rollers. At Gungunwala Food Equipment Pvt. Ltd., our rollers are engineered to develop the gluten network perfectly, which gives the noodles their essential “chewiness.”

2. Wavy Noodle Forming (Slitting)

As the dough sheet is cut into strands, the conveyor speed is slightly slower than the slitter speed. This creates the iconic “wavy” shape, which prevents the noodles from sticking together and allows for better air circulation during steaming and frying.

3. Continuous Steaming

The wavy noodles enter a multi-stage steam tunnel. This gelatinizes the starch, essentially cooking the noodles. Our steam tunnels are designed for high thermal efficiency, ensuring even cooking across the entire width of the conveyor.

4. Precision Cutting and Folding

After steaming, the noodles are cut and folded into individual “cakes” and placed into metal molds. The weight of each cake must be identical to ensure uniform frying and packaging.

5. The High-Speed Continuous Fryer

The noodle cakes move through a temperature-controlled frying oil bath. This removes moisture (reducing it from 30% to about 3% ) and creates tiny pores in the noodles, which is why they rehydrate so quickly in hot water. Gungunwala Food Equipment Pvt. Ltd. fryers feature advanced oil circulation and filtration to ensure every noodle cake is golden and fresh.
