The diagram illustrates the process of manufacturing instant noodles in eight distinct stages, beginning with the transportation of raw materials and ending with the packaging and labelling of the final product.
Overall, the production involves a systematic process that transforms flour into noodle cups, incorporating mixing, shaping, cooking, and packaging stages.
The process begins with flour being transported to the factory and stored in silos. In the first stage, the flour is mixed with water and oil in a large mixer to create dough. This dough is then rolled into thin sheets using a series of rollers. Next, the dough sheets are cut into strips by slitters, and these strips are molded into circular noodle discs.
In the subsequent stage, the noodle discs are cooked in oil and dried to remove moisture, ensuring a longer shelf life. After drying, the noodles are packed into cups, along with pre-measured quantities of vegetables and spices. Finally, the cups are sealed and labelled, completing the manufacturing process and preparing them for distribution.
