En production of chicken nuggets is a multi-step process that requires a range of specialized equipment. Here are the specific steps and equipment required to make commercial chicken nuggets:
1. Cutting and Mincing
Cutting machine: Use a cutting machine to cut the chicken into uniform-sized pieces. The cutting machine can complete this step quickly and accurately, improving work efficiency.
Vacuum meat grinder: The meat grinder pushes the raw meat in the material box to the pre-cutting knife through a screw, and through rotating extrusion, the perforated plate and the reamer are in relative motion, thereby cutting the raw meat into a granular shape to ensure the uniformity of the meat filling. Different combinations of perforated plates can achieve the required meat filling of different particles.
2. Seasoning
Seasoning machine: Use a seasoning machine to evenly apply the seasoning on the chicken nuggets to ensure that the chicken nuggets are fully flavored.
3. Forming
Forming machine: According to the needs, select the appropriate mold to press the chicken nuggets into a uniform shape and size.
4. Battering
Batteringย machine: Use a rebozadora to evenly apply the special slurry on the surface of the chicken nuggets. The paste is usually made of flour, starch, eggs and other ingredients, which can increase the crispness and taste of chicken nuggets.
5. Flour Coating
Flour coating machine: The coating machine evenly sprinkles dry powder (such as bread crumbs, corn starch, etc.) on the surface of the chicken nuggets to form a thin layer of powder.
6. Frying
Frying machine: Set the appropriate oil temperature (usually between 160-180 degrees Celsius) for frying. The mรกquina freidora can automatically stir the chicken nuggets to ensure that the chicken nuggets are heated evenly and fried thoroughly.
7. Quick freezing
Quick freezing machine: The fried chicken nuggets are placed in the quick freezing machine for rapid cooling. The quick freezing machine can cool the chicken nuggets to a lower temperature in a short time to fix its taste and appearance.
8. Packaging and storage
Packaging machine: The cooled chicken nuggets are packaged, which can be vacuum packed or sealed. The packaged chicken nuggets are stored in a cold storage or refrigerator to maintain their freshness and taste.
