The Cutting and Folding Machine is only used in Bag Type Processing Lines. The main components are cooling blowers, one rotary shear cutter assembly, and folding mechanism. Firstly, the fan blowers cool down the steamed noodles and remove the surface moisture. Then the noodles enter the cutting blade and are cut into sections with fixed length, at the same time get folded in half and turn into noodle blocks. The shape of noodle blocks can be square or rectangle, and is suitable for bag noodle packaging. The folding mechanism of Cutting and Folding Machine manufactured by CCK has gone through several major improvements which reduce the issues for noodles sticking and irregular folding. The noodle blocks appear better in shape with less size variation, and produce less noodle chipping waste.

●  Improved design of folding mechanism reduces irregular folding issue.

●  Folding Adjustment Handwheel offers immediate access for adjusting the folding, with unlimited wheel rotation for easy operation.

●  Polycarbonate Covers of the drive chamber doors allows visible observation on the running condition of the drive.

PROCEDURE

●  Operator starts the Cutting and Folding Machine, and lifts up the beginning of the noodles and lay over the Separating Roller Shaft, to help the noodles separate from the Steamer Mesh. Then the operator observes the noodles enter the cutting and folding mechanism, and removes the stuck noodles blocks immediately if it happens.

●  After the cutting and folding becomes smooth, the operator monitors the folding and the cutting length, and adjusts if necessary. The product weight and moisture content may also be monitored, depending on the production requirement of the client factory.
