Production Process of Mochi Ice Cream
1. Dough Preparation: Add rice flour and other raw materials into YC-136 Rice Flour Mixing and Evaporating Steamer, and YC-135 Steamer Generator provides stable steam. The steamer mixes and heats the raw materials to form chewy mochi dough.
2. Filling Encrusting: Transport the mochi dough to YC-170 Automatic Encrusting Machine, and add ice cream filling through the feeding device. The machine wraps the filling with the dough and forms it into specified shapes.
3. Flour Coating: The formed mochi ice cream is conveyed to YC-23 Imitate Handmade Flour Coating Machine for uniform flour dusting to prevent sticking between products.
4. Tray Aligning: The flour-coated products are sent to YC-150 Automatic Tray Aligning Machine, which arranges them neatly into trays according to the set mode.
5. Subsequent Processing: The trays filled with mochi ice cream can be directly transferred to a freezing tunnel for quick freezing or to a sealing machine for plastic packaging, completing the entire production process.
