The diagram illustrates the stages involved in the production of instant noodles, tracing the process from flour storage to the final packaging stage.
Overall, the procedure follows a linear, multi-stage sequence that begins with flour being taken from storage and mixed with water and oil, and ends with cups being sealed and labelled after they have been filled with noodles. During these stages, the noodles are shaped, cooked in oil, dried, and combined with flavouring ingredients before packaging.
In the initial stages, ingredients are combined and formed into noodle portions. Flour is taken from stages silos and transferred to a mixer, where water and oil are added. Once the ingredient have been blended, the mixture passes through a set of rotating rollers, which flatten it into sheets that are then cut into strips before being shaped into round discs.
The remaining stages deal with heat treatment and final assembly. The noodles discs are cooked in oil and subsequently dried as they move along the production line. After this stage has been completed, the dried noodles are placed into individual cups, and vegetables and spices are added before the filled cups are sealed and labelled, completing the manufacturing cycle.
