What is chicken nugget production process in factory? The step by step process of chicken nuggets are as follows, and each step includes the equipment used.
1. Raw Material Selection & Inspection
Select fresh chicken breast that has been acid-drained for 16 hours, and inspect the specifications, production date, quantity, freshness, packaging status, color, bacteria count, raw material temperature, etc. Chicken breast skin is required to be free of chicken feathers and rot.
Equipment: Inspection equipment (such as bacteria counter, thermometer, etc.).
Used to inspect the specifications, production date, quantity, freshness, packaging status, color, bacteria count, raw material temperature, etc. of raw materials.
Function: Ensure that the raw materials used meet production requirements and ensure product quality.
Features: High accuracy, easy operation, and timely detection of problems in raw materials.
2. Raw Material Grinding
Grind the chicken breast and chicken breast skin through a meat grinder, and use a perforated plate with a diameter of 16mm. Put the ground chicken skin into a clean five-cornered bucket for use.
Equipment: meat grinder, five-cornered bucket.
Grind the chicken breast and skin through a meat grinder.
Function: Make the raw materials into uniform and fine particles for subsequent mixing and molding.
Features: Selecting orifice plates with different apertures can grind meat particles of different sizes to meet different production needs.
3. Mixing of Raw Materials and Auxiliary Materials
Put the chicken breast, skin and auxiliary materials (such as salt, white sugar, MSG, spices, etc.) in a vacuum mixer according to the formula, add the corresponding dry ice and stir for 30 minutes. Be careful not to mince the chicken and keep a certain amount of chicken particles.
Equipment: vacuum mixer.
Put the chicken breast, chicken breast skin and auxiliary materials in the vacuum mixer and mix them.
Function: Make the raw materials and auxiliary materials fully mixed and evenly prepared for molding.
Features: It has a vacuum mixing function, which can effectively prevent the oxidation and deterioration of raw materials and improve product quality.
4. Forming Machine
Add the mixed materials into the hopper of the molding machine, adjust the molding pressure to the best, and when the mold produces a complete chicken nugget, open the conveyor belt, remove the front debris and unformed parts, and pick out the poorly formed and defective chicken nuggets.
Equipment: forming machine, conveyor belt.
Add the mixed materials into the hopper of the forming machine and use the mold to produce a complete chicken nugget shape.
Function: Make the mixed materials into chicken nuggets of uniform shape.
Features: The forming machine has a variety of molds, which can produce chicken nuggets of different shapes to meet different market needs. The conveyor belt is used to transport the formed chicken nuggets to the next process.
5. Battering
Add the slurry into the battering machine, turn on the machine to make it a uniform natural water curtain, and control the temperature of the slurry in the assembly line below 10ยฐC.
Equipment: battering machine, temperature controller.
Add the slurry into the battering machine to form a uniform natural water curtain, so that the surface of the chicken nuggets is evenly coated with a layer of slurry.
Function: Increase the taste and flavor of the chicken nuggets, while improving the frying effect of the chicken nuggets.
Features: The battering machine is easy to operate, the slurry is evenly distributed, and the temperature controller can accurately control the temperature of the slurry to ensure the battering effect.
6. Breading
Sprinkle a layer of bread crumbs evenly on the surface of the chicken nuggets. It is forbidden to have a pile or no powder on the surface.
Equipment: breading machine
Sprinkle a layer of bread crumbs evenly on the surface of the chicken nuggets.
Function: Increase the crispy taste and appearance of the chicken nuggets.
Features: The powder sprinkler is easy to operate and spreads the powder evenly. Manual powder sprinkler is more flexible and can adjust the amount and uniformity of powder sprinkler as needed.
7. Battering Again
Repeat the battering steps to ensure that the surface of the chicken nuggets is evenly coated with a layer of slurry.
Equipment: Battering machine.
Make the surface of the chicken nuggets evenly coated with a layer of slurry again.
Function: Further increase the taste and flavor of the chicken nuggets and improve the frying effect.
Features: The same as the battering steps, but it should be noted that the concentration and temperature of the slurry for battering again may need to be adjusted to meet different production needs.
8. Frying
Add an appropriate amount of shortening to the fryer, set the temperature to 185 degrees, start the chain to rotate, fry the chicken nuggets for 30 seconds and then send them out.
Equipment: fryer machine, temperature controller.
Put the chicken nuggets into the fryer and fry them at high temperature to make them cooked and golden.
Function: Cook the chicken nuggets and increase the crispy taste and flavor.
Features: The fryer machine has a precise temperature control system and automatic stirring function, which can ensure that the chicken pieces are fried evenly and will not stick together. At the same time, the fryer also has an automatic oil discharge function, which can reduce the amount of oil used and reduce production costs.
9. Quick Freezing
Send the fried chicken nuggets into the quick freezer, adjust the quick freezer time to 30-35 minutes, and take the product center temperature below 10ยฐC as the standard.
Equipment: quick freezer, temperature controller.
Put the fried chicken nuggets into the quick freezer, and quickly cool the chicken nuggets through low-temperature quick freezing to achieve a certain hardness.
Function: Maintain the taste and flavor of the chicken nuggets while extending the shelf life of the product.
Features: The quick freezer has a precise temperature control system and efficient refrigeration capacity, which can ensure that the chicken nuggets reach the required hardness in a short time. At the same time, the quick freezer also has the advantages of energy saving and environmental protection.
10. Packaging & Storage
Weigh and package the quick-frozen chicken nuggets, and then send them to the cold storage for storage.
Equipment: weighing equipment, packaging machine, cold storage.
The entire chicken nugget production process requires strict control of raw material quality, process parameters and equipment status to ensure the taste and quality of the product. At the same time, the factory must also comply with relevant food safety regulations and standards to ensure the safety and legality of the product.
Weigh and package the quick-frozen chicken nuggets and send them to the cold storage for storage.
Function: Ensure that the weight and packaging of the product meet the standards, while maintaining the quality of the product and extending the shelf life.
Features: The weighing equipment has high accuracy and can ensure the consistent weight of each package; the packaging machine is simple to operate and fast, which can meet the needs of large-scale production; the cold storage has the characteristics of constant temperature and humidity, which can ensure that the product will not deteriorate during storage.
The above is a detailed introduction to the equipment used in Chicken Nugget Production Process in Factory to make chicken nuggets. These equipment play a vital role in the production process of chicken nuggets. Their functions, roles and characteristics directly affect the quality and production efficiency of the product. Therefore, when selecting and using these equipment, it is necessary to fully consider factors such as production needs, product quality requirements and the technical level of the equipment.
