The chicken popcorn production line includes a set of automatic production machines to make chicken popcorn, fish popcorn. It mainly includes cutting, battering, drum-breading machines, frying, air-drying machine, and other machines to make chicken popcorn. The chicken popcorn production line is suitable for meat, aquatic products, vegetables, cheese, and their mixtures.
Above is a short introduction, how to make chicken popcorn? Let me introduce you machine one by one to show you the whole process.
About fried chicken popcorn
Fried chicken popcorn is usually a deep-fried snack made by dicing chicken breast and then marinating and deep-frying. The fried popcorn chicken has the appearance of golden scales and a crispy taste. It is usually eaten with tomato sauce and other sauces. Fried chicken popcorn can not only be eaten as a staple food, it can also be eaten as a snack.
Fried chicken popcorn VS baked chicken popcorn
The fried chicken popcorn is made by frying the chicken popcorn after the steps of marinating, battering, breading. The roasted chicken popcorn is baked in the oven to make the chicken popcorn mature.
Compared to fried type, roasted chicken popcorn have very little oil. And it’s also very delicious. Therefore, roasted chicken popcorn is more suitable for people who exercise or lose weight. The craftsmanship of these two kinds of chicken popcorn is roughly similar. You can choose different maturation methods according to the finished product you need.
The chicken popcorn production line process
The production process of chicken popcorn is cutting, pickling, sizing, flouring, frying, and cooling. In the commercial chicken popcorn production line, each step corresponds to the chicken popcorn production machine for mass production.
Cutting machine
The cutting machine can efficiently and quickly cut the chicken breast into pieces. The machine meets the food production standards. The cut size can be customized according to customer requirements.
Belt conveyor
The belt conveyor adopts 304 material. The structure is simple, easy to maintain, transported material efficiently, and meets mass production. The machine length and belt width can be customized according to the customer’s requirement.
Battering machine
The battering machine is mainly for spreading the batter on the popcorn evenly in the chicken popcorn production line. It can complete the battering automatically, when the chicken popcorn passes through the upper and lower mesh belt, the machine will spray the batter on chicken popcorn evenly. After battering, the chicken popcorn is exposed to a wind shower system to avoid excessive slurry, then entering the next process.
Drum breading machine
The drum breading machine wraps a layer of powder on the surface of the chicken popcorn by the rotation of the roller, which is suitable for chicken popcorn, chicken, fish pieces, etc.; the design of the drum makes the coated evenly, even the folds and bumps of the product can evenly coat.
Mesh belt frying machine
The continuous mesh belt frying machine is important in the chicken popcorn production line. The frying machine equips with an independent electric control box, which is easy to operate; the running speed of the mesh belt can be adjusted to keep the color of the fried food bright.
Mesin pengering udara
The air dryer can effectively remove the oil on the surface of the material and improve the degree of automation of food processing; the air-drying is normal temperature, which effectively protects the color and quality of the material surface.
