Overall Introduction

Cereal breakfast foods mainly refer to corn cereals manufacturing processed with modern technology using cereals (corn, rice, wheat, oats, etc.) as the main raw materials. These cereals are meticulously selected and cleaned to ensure the highest quality, with each grain inspected for optimal size, texture, and flavor. Breakfast corn cereal is a kind of crispy food, with the characteristics of being hard to be steeped broken and possessing a strong, nutty grain taste that delights the palate. The aroma of freshly toasted corn mingles with the subtle sweetness of natural grains, creating a symphony of scents that awaken the senses and make it a delightful start to the day.

Breakfast Cereal Making Machine includes mixing, extruding, drying, sugar coating, and drying processes. Each step is carefully monitored to achieve the perfect texture and flavor. The mixing process combines the grains with precise amounts of water and other ingredients to create a dough-like consistency, the aroma of which fills the air with a comforting, homey scent. The extruding process shapes this mixture into various forms, such as circles, balls, sheets, stars, and letters, each with its unique appeal and intricate design that catches the eye. The drying process removes excess moisture, ensuring the cereal remains crisp and delicious, with a satisfying crunch that echoes through the kitchen. Finally, sugar coating adds a sweet glaze that enhances the overall flavor experience, glistening under the light and inviting with its golden hue, followed by another drying phase to set the coating perfectly, leaving a smooth, appealing finish.

A breakfast cereal production line can be used as a snack or served with milk and coffee, offering versatility in consumption. When paired with warm milk, the cereal softens slightly, releasing more of its rich flavors, the creamy liquid enveloping each piece and enhancing the nutty undertones. Coffee complements its robust taste with a hint of bitterness, creating a balanced and invigorating combination that energizes the morning. Changing molds and choosing the right process allows for the production of core filling snack foods, filling biscuits, nutrition breakfast options, corn flakes, and other puffed foods, catering to diverse dietary preferences and needs. The visual appeal of these varied shapes and colors makes them attractive to both children and adults alike, ensuring a fun and nutritious breakfast experience that delights all the senses.

Market Background: The global breakfast cereal market is rapidly growing with a strong demand for healthy snacks. Consumers are increasingly seeking out 'zero additives' and 'non-fried' health cereals, driven by a heightened awareness of dietary health and wellness. These cereals, often made from whole grains, nuts, and seeds, are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, providing a nutritious start to the day. Traditional production lines, however, often suffer from low efficiency and high labor costs, creating an urgent need for automation upgrades to meet modern demands. The vibrant colors and enticing textures of these new-age cereals have also captured the imagination of health-conscious families, making them a staple in many households. Each bite offers a delightful crunch, with a mix of soft and chewy elements that appeal to both children and adults alike.

production process

Raw material formulating → Mixing → Extruding, inflating cutting into ball shape → cooling conveying → Air conveying → tablet compressing → Drying → Flavoring → Conveying → Drying → Cooling conveying

This breakfast cereal ball production line features a fully automated process that perfectly replicates the traditional art of cereal making. Every step, from ingredient preparation to final packaging, is meticulously designed to produce nutritious, crispy cereal products with premium quality.  

The process begins with carefully selected grains and nutritional additives, which are precisely blended in an intelligent mixing system. The uniformly mixed ingredients then move to the extrusion stage, where they undergo a delightful puffing transformation under precisely controlled temperature and pressure, forming plump, spherical cereal balls. Still warm from extrusion, these cereal balls enter a gentle cooling system where they gradually set and stabilize.  

After cooling, the cereal balls are conveyed via a specialized pneumatic transport system to the next stage. Here, they undergo light pressing to slightly flatten their shape, optimizing them for the seasoning process. Advanced spray-coating technology ensures even flavor distribution across every piece. A secondary drying stage then locks in the seasoning, creating a perfect fusion of taste and texture.  

Finally, the finished products go through a cooling stage to reach the ideal packaging temperature. The entire process is seamlessly connected, preserving the natural nutrition of the grains while enhancing them with unique flavors and textures. Combining traditional cereal craftsmanship with modern food technology, this production line guarantees consistently high-quality output in every batch

What Is The Cost Of Breakfast Cereal Production Line?

Core Machine Features

The breakfast cereal production line begins with the breakfast cereal suppliers first putting the raw material into the double screw extruder. The breakfast material, typically a mixture of grains like corn, wheat, and rice, along with other ingredients such as sugar, salt, and vitamins, is then subjected to the action of the rotating screw within the extrusion puffing machine. As the material moves between the screw and the barrel, friction is generated, causing the material to be constantly cut, squeezed, and stirred. This mechanical action increases the internal temperature of the extruder, which can reach up to 150°C, and raises the pressure within it, often exceeding 100 psi. Under these high temperature and pressure conditions, the material is thoroughly cooked, transforming into a thick, sticky paste. As the pressure in the double screw extruder continues to build, the paste material is eventually ejected through the mold. Upon exiting the mold, the moisture within the material rapidly vaporizes, causing the cereal to puff up, creating a light and airy texture. Simultaneously, a rotating cutting tool near the mold cuts and shapes the puffed material into various forms, such as golden corn flakes, crispy wheat squares, or delicate rice rings. These freshly formed cereal pieces are then conveyed into a dryer, where they undergo a drying process. The drying temperature is carefully controlled to be around 120°C, ensuring efficient moisture removal while preserving the cereal's nutritional value and flavor.

 After drying, the cereal passes through an air cooling stage to bring down its temperature to about 20°C. Once dried and cooled, the moisture content of the cereal should be approximately 3%. This low moisture level significantly extends the shelf life of the puffed food, often up to six months or more. Additionally, the baking process imparts a distinct flavor to the cereal, enhancing its overall quality and appeal by caramelizing the sugars and giving it a slightly toasted aroma.
