The automated frozen sweet corn processing line is a production system that integrates a variety of advanced mechanical equipment and automated control systems. It is designed to efficiently, accurately and hygienically process fresh sweet corn into quick-frozen sweet corn products to meet the large market demand. Through the orderly coordination of various links, it can ensure that the sweet corn can be stored for a long time and conveniently transported while retaining its original flavor and nutrients. It is widely used in food processing, catering and other industries.
In the frozen sweet corn manufacturing process, a special peeling machine is usually used to peel the husk from the corn cob to facilitate subsequent processing operations and prevent the quality of subsequent products from being affected.
Individual corn kernels are derived by detaching them from corn cobs. Typically, a rotating threshing drum is employed in the frozen sweet corn processing line for this purpose. This fundamental step is essential for the subsequent manufacturing of various corn-based products, including canned and quick-frozen corn kernels.
Remove impurities, dust, residual husk fragments and possible pesticide residues attached to the surface of the corn kernels to ensure the cleanliness and hygiene of the products and meet food safety standards. A multi-stage cleaning system is usually used in the frozen sweet corn processing line.
The enzyme activity in the corn kernels can be passivated through a short period of high temperature treatment to prevent color changes and nutrient loss during subsequent storage. A continuous blanching machine is generally used in the frozen sweet corn manufacturing process.
Remove excess water from the surface of corn kernels during washing and blanching, because excessive water is not conducive to the subsequent quick freezing process, and may cause the corn kernels to freeze into ice cubes during quick freezing, affecting the appearance and quality of the product, and is not conducive to packaging and storage.
Quickly cool the corn kernels to a very low temperature in a very short time. In the frozen sweet corn processing line, a quick freezing tunnel is usually used to allow the corn kernels to pass through a low-temperature environment area on the conveyor belt, and create low-temperature conditions through refrigeration units and other equipment to gradually freeze the corn kernels.
