Introduction: Industrial Tortilla and Nacho Chips Production Line
The Precision Engineering of the Tortilla Line
The “secret” to a great nacho lies in its texture. A nacho should be sturdy enough to hold dip, yet light enough to melt in the mouth. Our line achieves this through four critical stages:
1. Precision Sheeting and Cutting
The corn dough (Masa) is fed into a high-precision sheeter. Gungunwala Food Equipment Pvt. Ltd. uses specialized rollers that ensure the dough is uniform in thickness down to the millimeter. The rotary cutter then stamps out perfect triangles, rounds, or strips with zero waste.
2. The Multi-Pass Toasting Oven
This is the most critical step. Before frying, the chips must be toasted. Our gas-fired, multi-pass ovens remove moisture and “set” the structure of the chip. This toasting process creates the characteristic toasted corn flavor and prevents the chip from absorbing too much oil during the frying stage.
3. Equilibrium / Cooling
After toasting, the chips move through an equilibrium conveyor. This allows the moisture within the chip to balance out, preventing the chips from blistering or cracking when they hit the hot oil.
4. Continuous Frying and Seasoning
The toasted chips are then submerged in our continuous fryer. Because they have been pre-toasted, they fry very quickly and emerge with a significantly lower oil content than traditional snacks. They then enter the seasoning drum for a uniform coating of cheese, chili, or salted flavors.
