Introduction
Manufacturing Steps
1. Cooking and Steeping
2. Washing 3. Stone Milling
4. Sheeting / Forming
5. Baking
6. Cooling
7. Adding salt and Flavouring agents
8. Packing
1.Cooking and Steeping
• Production begins with the alkaline cooking of good quality of whole corn
• It was done up to 3 hours at 80-100⁰C
• Corn is cooked in 120-300% excess water containing 0.1-2.0% hydrated lime
• After cooking corn is steeped for 8-12 hours
2.Washing
• After steeping the whole mixture is transferred mechanical washers or washed by hands
• Pericarp and excess lime are washed away during this process
3.Stone Milling
• The clean dough is ground using a system of two matches carved stones
• The material is forced into the gap between the stones
• During this process water is usually added ,it cools down the stones and prevents excessive wear
• After milling dough with fine particles and high moisture content is sheeted into a thin layer
4.Sheeting/Forming
• The dough is spread into the sheets
• They were cut into small pieces using dough cutters
• Most common shapes are circular and triangular pieces
5.Baking
• Tortilla pieces are baked at temperatures ranging from 280-315⁰C
• Baking time varies from 20-40 sec
6.Cooling
• Baked tortillas are placed on cooling racks
• Tortillas are cooled about 3-5 min
• Tortillas were cooled up to 25⁰C
7.Adding Of Salt And Flavouring Agents
• Salt and flavouring agents are added to the tortillas by using powder dispensers or a spraying system
• A liquid seasoning mix is used as a flavouring agent
8.Packing• Mostly automatic packing machines are used
• System can be configured to match our production and factory needs
