Detailed Production Process of Automatic Protein Powder Production Line

The production process of the automatic protein powder production line is scientific, rigorous and continuous, covering two major links: raw material processing and finished product packaging. Each link is closely connected to ensure the quality and safety of protein powder products. The first major link is raw material processing, which is the foundation of protein powder production. The raw materials of protein powder mainly include soybeans, Peanut, bean, Seasam, wheat, corn, rice, meat, bone, mushroom and other materials rich in protein. First, the collected raw materials need to be cleaned to remove impurities such as metal, stone, plastic and dust, so as not to damage the subsequent equipment and affect the quality of protein powder. Then, the cleaned raw materials are sent to the coarse crusher for pre-crushing; the coarse crusher adopts a cutting type structure, which can quickly crush large pieces of raw materials into small pieces of 1-5 centimeters. The coarse crusher has strong versatility and can also be used to crush spice, tea, flour, coffee, salt, sugar, tobacco, chemical and other materials. After pre-crushing, the raw materials are sent to the grinding link; according to the required fineness of protein powder, different types of grinding machines can be selected. For example, if ordinary fineness protein powder is needed, a universal grinder or Hammer Mill can be used; if ultra-fine protein powder is needed, an Ultrafine Grinder, airflow pulverizer or Vacuum Mill can be used. The cryogenic grinding machine is suitable for occasions that require high-quality protein powder, because it can grind raw materials at low temperature, avoiding the damage of protein nutrients caused by high temperature, and maintaining the natural activity of protein. In addition, other types of grinding machines can also be used for raw material grinding after simple adjustment, such as herb grinder, Industrial Weed Grinder, small grinder machine, Air cooled crusher, cassava grinding machine, dry ginger grinding machine, licorice grinding machine, black pepper grinder, Dry Fruit Powder Grinder Machine, Dust Grinder, vibrating pulverizer, turbo grinder, dust collector grinder, Electric Grinder and Dry Grinder. Among them, the 200KG grinder and 500KG Grinder are suitable for medium and large-scale production enterprises, with high production efficiency, which can grind 200KG and 500KG of raw materials per hour respectively; the small grinder machine is suitable for small-scale enterprises or laboratories, with small volume, easy movement and simple operation. Most grinding machines are equipped with high-speed motors, which drive the grinding disc or grinding hammer to rotate at high speed, and the raw materials are crushed and ground into fine powder under the action of impact, extrusion and shearing. During the grinding process, the dust collector grinder plays an important role, which can collect the dust generated during the grinding process in time, avoid environmental pollution, and also prevent the dust from entering the operator’s body and endangering health. Some grinding machines, such as the ones used for grinding cannabis, have similar structures to the protein powder raw material grinding machine, but they need to be adjusted according to the characteristics of the material to ensure the grinding effect. After grinding, the protein powder raw material powder is sent to the screening link; the screening equipment adopts a vibrating screen, which can screen the powder into different fineness levels according to the requirements, and the unqualified powder will be sent back to the grinding machine for re-grinding until it meets the requirements. The second major link is finished product packaging, which is the key link to ensure the hygiene, safety and shelf life of protein powder. First, the packaging containers (such as cans, bottles, bags) need to be sorted by a bottle arranging/can arranging machine, and then cleaned and disinfected through processes such as tank turning, blowing and washing, and sterilization to prepare for filling. Then, the qualified protein powder is sent to the XH-LA2 semi-automatic powder filling and packaging machine for high-precision measurement and filling; the filling machine adopts servo motor drive, and the stirring adopts a Taiwan maintenance-free reducer motor, with stable performance and high packaging precision. The filling process adopts a special spiral, combined with real-time computer tracking and weighing sensor monitoring, which can ensure that the filling precision is controlled within ±0.5-2g or ±0.5%-2%. The material box of the filling machine adopts a fully sealed combination of stainless steel and organic glass, which is easy to disassemble and clean. After filling, the products are sent to the sealing link; the production line uses a type 3 electromagnetic induction aluminum foil sealing machine for aluminum foil sealing, and some products also need to be vacuumed and filled with nitrogen to reduce the residual oxygen rate (which can be lower than 3%), so as to extend the shelf life of protein powder. After sealing, the products are sent to the automatic capping machine for capping; the capping machine has stable performance and can ensure the tightness of the cap. Then, the capped products are sent to the vertical round bottle labeling machine for labeling; the labeling machine can adapt to different specifications of packaging containers by adjusting the track width, and the labeling precision is high. Finally, the labeled products are sent to the small character coding machine for coding, which prints information such as production date, batch number and shelf life on the products. In the entire production process, the control system plays a leading role; the control system adopts a PLC touch screen man-machine interface, supports Chinese and English display, and is easy and intuitive to operate. The operator can set and store packaging parameters through the panel, and some systems can store 10 formulas, which greatly improves production efficiency. The system is also equipped with a fault prompt function, which helps to reduce the need for fault troubleshooting and ensure the stable operation of the production line.
