Ingredients Mixing: The process starts with mixing ingredients, typically flour, water, and sometimes other additives like salt or eggs. This mixture forms a dough or paste.
Extrusion Process: The dough is then fed into an extruder, which consists of a barrel and a rotating screw. The screw pushes the dough through a series of chambers, where it is mixed and kneaded.
Shaping: As the dough moves through the extruder, it is forced through a die (a metal plate with holes) that shapes it into the desired noodle form. The die can create various noodle shapes and sizes, from thin spaghetti to wide fettuccine.
Cutting: After the dough is extruded into the desired shape, it is cut into lengths by a cutting mechanism. This can be done with rotating blades or a knife.
Drying/Cooling: The noodles are then cooled or dried, depending on whether they are to be sold fresh or dry. Drying is often done using a hot air oven or a continuous dryer.
Packaging: Once the noodles are dried and cooled, they are packaged for distribution.
