Macaroni, which is produced in modern
installations without hand contact, is mainly
produced by following the process below.
Cleaning - Annealing
Hard wheat for macaroni (Triticum Durum - Durum
Wheat) is firstly cleaned and then annealed with
water.
Grinding - Sifting
Durum wheat is turned into semolina by being
grinned and sifted. The semolina particles are
125-450 micron and have a bright and cornered
view. For these reasons, the semolina made of
durum wheat is bright yellow. After grinding,
process of sifting is made and the impurities
(bran, rasmol, sub semolina wheat) are
distinguished.
Kneading - Shaping
The semolina obtained is mixed with water and
kneaded with mixers until an even dough surface
is obtained. The additives (vitamin, etc.) for
the macaronis with additives are added at this
phase. This dough is taken to molds to be shaped
with pressure. By vacuuming, it is made gain
bright yellow color and glassy characteristic.
Drying - Cooling
The created dough shapes are taken to drying.
The drying duration varies according to the
technology, type of the macaroni and the drying
diagram. Also the drying moist and heat varies
depending on the technology and diagram. The
macaroni taken out of drying is now taken to
cooling.
Resting - Packaging
The macaroni being rested in the silos are
packaged in the packaging machines without hand
contact in the desired packages and weights in
grams and they are made ready for sale. |
