An industrial Poha making machine is a specialized piece of equipment designed to automate and streamline the process of making poha (flattened rice flakes) on a large scale.
It is commonly used in food processing plants or facilities that produce poha in bulk quantities.
The machine typically consists of several components and processes involved in making poha.
Here is a description of the key components and steps in an industrial poha making machine:
🔹 Feeding System: The machine has a feeding system that allows the raw paddy or rice to be fed into the machine continuously. This can be done through a hopper or conveyor system to ensure a steady supply of raw material.
🔹 Cleaning and Washing: The raw paddy is subjected to a cleaning process to remove impurities like stones, dust, or husk. It may also undergo a washing process to eliminate any dirt or debris.
🔹 Soaking: The cleaned and washed paddy is then soaked in water for a specific duration to soften the grains. This is an important step that prepares the paddy for further processing.
🔹 Draining: After soaking, the excess water is drained from the paddy. This can be done using a draining system or by transferring the soaked paddy to a sieve or colander for manual draining.
🔹 Steaming: The soaked paddy is transferred to a steaming chamber or vessel in the poha making machine. Steam is introduced to cook and steam the paddy, resulting in soft and pliable rice flakes.
🔹Cooling: Once steamed, the rice flakes are cooled down to room temperature. This can be done using a cooling system within the machine or by spreading the steamed flakes on a tray or conveyor belt for natural cooling.
🔹 Flattening: The cooled rice flakes are then passed through a flattening mechanism in the poha making machine. This mechanism typically consists of rollers or plates that flatten the rice flakes into thin, flattened flakes. The pressure applied during this process determines the thickness of the poha.
🔹 Roasting: After flattening, the poha flakes are roasted to enhance their flavor and texture. This step can be done using a roasting chamber or conveyor belt equipped with heating elements. The roasting process is carefully controlled to ensure even heating and prevent over-roasting or burning.
🔹 Cooling and Packaging: After roasting, the poha flakes are cooled down again to room temperature. This can be done using a cooling system within the machine or by spreading the roasted flakes on a tray or conveyor belt for natural cooling.
Once the poha flakes are cooled, they are ready for packaging.
The machine may have a packaging system that automatically weighs and fills the poha flakes into bags, pouches, or other containers.
The packaged poha is then sealed and labeled for distribution and sale.
Industrial poha making machines are designed to handle a high volume of paddy or rice efficiently and effectively.
They help automate the Poha-making process, reduce manual labor, and ensure consistent quality and yield of Poha flakes.
