Soy Textured Vegetable Protein Production Line

Textured vegetable protein can replace isolated protein in meat products, not only increasing the protein content of the meat products but also absorbing excess fat, making them less greasy and more meaty, achieving an economical and practical goal. The improved textured vegetable protein equipment from Jinan Datong Machinery is developed based on advanced domestic and international technologies, through experiments and research. The plant-based textured protein produced by this equipment has a good granular structure and can be soaked to make various flavored vegetarian foods. During the processing of textured protein, different flavorings can be added, which can then be incorporated into instant foods and snacks to create products with various flavors.

Characteristics of soy textured protein:

Currently, textured soy protein is mainly produced from defatted soybean flour, soy protein concentrate, or soy protein isolate as raw materials, through mechanical and thermal processes such as mixing, extrusion, and puffing. It has high nutritional value and good functionality, with the following characteristics:

1. After extrusion through an expander, the protein molecules are rearranged neatly, forming a directional tissue structure similar to meat-like porous tissue, resulting in excellent water retention and chewiness. 2. Through short-term high-temperature, high-moisture, and high-pressure processing, various harmful substances in soybeans are eliminated, enhancing the human body's ability to absorb and digest protein, significantly increasing nutritional value. 3. During expansion, the rapid decompression and explosion at the outlet remove undesirable odors from soybeans and reduce the gas-producing properties of soybean protein after consumption. 4. Soybean textured protein has good oil retention, making food products clean and non-greasy. 5. It is convenient to use; after soaking in room temperature water for 30 minutes, it can be added to make various foods. 6. Soybean textured protein contains no cholesterol, making it safe for people with cardiovascular diseases to consume. 7. Soybean textured protein is an ideal plant protein, containing eight essential nutrients required by the human body. 8. In terms of shape, soybean textured protein comes in flakes, chunks, and granules; in terms of color, it comes in natural and red, making its applications more versatile.

The textured protein production line uses low-temperature soybean meal and peanut meal as the main raw materials. Through grinding, mixing, conditioning, high temperature, high pressure, and high shear, the spherical protein molecules are unfolded into chains and reorganized, forming a new type of food with a meat-like fibrous structure, resembling lean meat with a chewy texture. Its product has high nutritional value, possesses the texture and taste of meat, contains no cholesterol or animal fat, and has the characteristics of absorbing oil, water, and flavor. It is widely used in various industries such as ham, sausages, canned food, fast food, and frozen food.

Soy Textured Vegetable Protein Production Line

I. Soybean textured protein production line process flow:

Raw material mixing → Material feeding → Conveying → Extrusion puffing → Conveying → Drying → Cooling II. Soybean textured protein production equipment configuration:

Powder mixer → Feeder → Extruder → Elevator → Multi-layer oven → Cooling conveyor IV. Composition of textured soy protein production process:

1. Powder mixer: Low-temperature soybean meal, isolated protein, and other mixed additives are thoroughly mixed with a certain proportion of water.

2. Feeder: Transports the mixed raw materials to the feed hopper of the extruder.

3. Extruder: After the raw materials enter the extrusion system from the feeder, pellets are produced, and different sizes of products can be obtained by changing the mold.

4. Elevator: Transports the products to the oven.

5. Multi-layer oven: Removes a certain amount of moisture to extend shelf life.

6. Cooling conveyor: Cools to room temperature for easy packaging.

Equipment quality control:

1. Pre-production Design Control

Technical personnel carry out scientific and reasonable design based on the actual conditions and requirements of the customer's factory, power supply, location, etc., combined with equipment testing conditions.

2. Spare Parts Selection Standards

For spare parts suppliers, strictly screen the products of suppliers and select manufacturers with high quality and low price in the same industry. On the premise of ensuring quality, reduce equipment manufacturing costs, truly allowing customers to purchase cost-effective equipment. For the same type of outsourced parts, ensure three suppliers to truly achieve survival of the fittest selection.

3. Production Control

After the sales department receives an order, it submits it to the technical department, which produces the corresponding CAD drawings for the equipment based on the order details. The production department arranges for relevant parts to be procured, produced, and processed according to the CAD drawing technical documents.

4. Equipment and Spare Parts Acceptance

There are dedicated quality control personnel who conduct batch sampling inspections on purchased and outsourced parts. For critical and precision parts, quality inspections are carried out.

For self-made parts, self-inspection, mutual inspection, and final inspection by processing personnel must be carried out, and they can only be put into use after all inspections are passed.

After the finished equipment is installed, after-sales technical personnel will conduct acceptance inspection. The equipment must run idle for more than half an hour on site, and only after no faults are found can it be loaded for on-site debugging. Ensure that each piece of equipment meets factory conditions and issue an equipment certificate.

VI. After-sales Service and Warranty

1. Installation Training: Free installation and debugging of equipment, free training on operation.

2. Warranty: Our company provides a one-year warranty for this production line, offering repair and replacement of parts within one year for non-human-induced damage. Lifetime maintenance service is available for the equipment. 3. Recipe: Free provision of basic textured protein recipes; also, customers can be introduced to learn professional recipes.

4. Accessories: Various molds can be provided according to customer needs, and various accessories for extrusion production equipment are offered at low prices year-round.
