The process flow of the puffed quinoa flour production line mainly includes the following steps:
Raw material processing: Firstly, quinoa raw materials need to be cleaned and shelled to ensure their cleanliness and removal of impurities
Crushing and mixing: Grind the cleaned and shelled quinoa and ensure uniform particle size through sieving. Then mix the crushed quinoa powder and maintain an appropriate moisture content (usually 10% -14%)
Squeezing and puffing: The mixed quinoa powder is fed into an extrusion and puffing machine, where it is puffed under high temperature and pressure. During this process, quinoa flour will become soft and have good solubility and gelatinization degree
Drying and cooling: The puffed quinoa powder needs to be dried to remove excess moisture and maintain product stability. After drying, quinoa powder needs to be cooled to prevent further expansion
Grading and packaging: Grade the dried and cooled quinoa powder to ensure product uniformity. Finally, use a sealed packaging machine for packaging to ensure the beauty and cleanliness of the product
