Turnkey Deep-Fried Instant Noodle Plant & Equipment

Q: How much factory floor space is required for a turnkey instant noodle production line?

The required layout depends on your target capacity. For an entry-level line (e.g., 30,000 noodle blocks per 8-hour shift), you will need a straight-line workshop length of approximately 40 to 50 meters. High-speed industrial lines (producing up to 200,000 blocks) require 80+ meters. HSYL provides a free customized 3D CAD layout design prior to manufacturing to ensure the line fits your specific building format, including power and water routing.

Q: How does the HSYL frying system prevent oil rancidity and increase oil lifespan?

Oil degradation (rising acid value) is the biggest pain point in noodle frying. Our system is equipped with an advanced Dynamic Oil Circulation and Double-Filtration System. It continuously extracts micro-carbonized dough particles from the fryer during operation. Combined with ultra-precise PID temperature control (140°C - 160°C), our system prevents localized oil burning, extending the oil's lifespan and drastically reducing your waste-oil disposal costs.

Q: Can this single production line produce both square (bagged) and round (cup) noodle blocks?

Yes, absolute flexibility is built into our design. The slitting, cutting, and fryer moulding boxes are fully interchangeable. By simply switching the cutting gear and the metal fryer moulds, your factory can transition from producing 85g square noodles for bags to 65g round noodles for cups in minimal changeover time.

Q: How automation-heavy is the line, and what control systems are used?

Our production lines feature 90%+ automation from raw flour dosing to the cooling conveyor. We utilize world-class PLC control systems (Siemens or Mitsubishi) paired with an intuitive touchscreen HMI (Human-Machine Interface). The central computer strictly synchronizes the speed of the steaming tunnel, cutting blades, and frying chain, entirely eliminating human error and ensuring consistent noodle waving and weight.

Q: What is the typical Return on Investment (ROI) period for this turnkey equipment?

Because our lines are meticulously engineered to reduce labor (requiring only 3–5 core machine operators instead of a massive crew) and maximize raw material and oil yield, most of our international clients see a complete ROI within 12 to 18 months when operating at full capacity.

Detailed Equipment Introduction

Gain in-depth insights into Deep-Fried Instant Noodle Production Line equipment’s working principles, application scenarios, and technical highlights.

Next-Generation Instant Noodle Manufacturing: Lower Oil, Higher Quality

The biggest challenge in fried noodle production is managing oil degradation (rancidity) and ensuring the noodle block absorbs just the right amount of oil. The HSYL Turnkey Instant Noodle Plant tackles this with next-generation continuous frying technology.

Technical Leap in Frying & Health:

Dynamic Oil Circulation & Filtration: Our system continuously filters the frying oil during production, removing carbonized micro-particles. This prevents the oil from turning dark, doubling the oil's lifespan and drastically improving the taste and shelf life of your noodles.
Reduced Oil Content Technology: State-of-the-art centrifugal defatting and high-pressure air knives strip away excess surface oil the second the noodle block leaves the fryer, aligning your product with modern health-conscious consumer demands.
Complete Process Automation: From vacuum dough mixing, compounding, slitting, wavy-forming, steaming, cutting, frying, to cooling. Fully automated to produce between 30,000 to 200,000 blocks per 8-hour shift.
