 |
|
Water Chilling Equipment
|
The Water Chilling Equipment controls the temperature of supplying water used for kneading flour. Usually, it consists of multiple water tanks made of stainless steel. Heating medium is filled between the tanks. |
|
|
| Kneader |
Supplied flour and water is kneaded with a rotary mixing blade. There are a batch type including vertical and horizontal type, and a continuous type with humidifier, depending on its body shape. |
