1.Suger Boiled Pot
In the coated nutrition barsproduction line, the suger boiled pot plays a crucial role in preparing the coating materials, especially those based on sugar - containing substances like caramel coatings. It heats and melts sugars, along with other ingredients such as butter, corn syrup, etc., to the appropriate consistency. By precisely controlling the temperature and cooking time in the suger boiled pot, the desired texture and flavor of the coating can be achieved. For example, when making a caramel coating, the suger boiled pot is used to cook the sugar until it reaches the right stage of caramelization, which gives the coating its characteristic color, sweetness, and stickiness.
2.Mixing Machine
The mixing machine is essential for creating the core of the nutrition bar. It combines a wide variety of ingredients including proteins (such as whey protein, soy protein), fibers (from oats, nuts, or inulin), vitamins, minerals, and other additives. With powerful agitators and often variable - speed settings, the mixing machine ensures thorough and homogeneous mixing. This is vital as it guarantees that each bite of the nutrition bar contains the right balance of nutrients. For instance, in a protein - based nutrition bar, the mixing machine evenly distributes the protein powder with other ingredients like dried fruits, nuts, and flavorings to create a consistent and nutritious core.
3.Hoist
The hoist is used to transport materials between different levels or stations in the production line. After the ingredients are mixed in the mixing machine, the hoist can lift the blended mixture to the next processing station, such as the automatic cereals bar cutting machine. It helps in maintaining a smooth and continuous production flow, reducing the need for manual handling and minimizing the risk of contamination. In a multi - level production facility, the hoist efficiently moves materials from a lower - level mixing area to a higher - level shaping or coating area, ensuring that the production process is streamlined.
4.Automatic Cereals Bar Cutting Machine
Once the core material of the nutrition bar is prepared and possibly shaped into a continuous log or sheet, the automatic cereals bar cutting machine comes into play. It precisely cuts the material into the desired size and shape of individual nutrition bars. The machine is programmable, allowing for different bar lengths, widths, and thicknesses to be set according to the product specifications. This ensures uniformity in the size of the bars, which is important for both portion control and packaging. For example, it can cut long extruded strips of cereal - based core material into perfectly sized rectangular bars ready for the coating process.
5.Coating Machine
The coating machine is responsible for applying the outer coating to the nutrition bars. It can use various methods such as spraying, dipping, or enrobing to evenly coat the bars with materials like chocolate, yogurt, or other flavored coatings. The coating not only enhances the taste and appearance of the nutrition bars but also provides a protective layer. In the case of a chocolate - coated nutrition bar, the coating machine ensures that the chocolate is applied evenly over the entire surface of the bar, creating an attractive and delicious finish.
6.Packing Machine
The packing machine is the final step in the production line. It automatically wraps each individual coated nutrition bar in suitable packaging materials, which can include foil, plastic, or biodegradable options. The packing machine cuts the appropriate amount of packaging material, seals it around the bar, and may also apply labels or product information. This not only protects the nutrition bars from damage, moisture, and oxidation during storage and transportation but also makes them ready for distribution to the market. For example, a high - speed packing machine can wrap hundreds of nutrition bars per minute, ensuring efficient and hygienic packaging.
