The Rice Cake Machine Serie RCM is a heavy duty unit with high operational flexibility manufactured for Iong lasting, also in those factories where production is continuous with shifts of 24 hours a day.

The hydraulic central unit on the machine is utilized both for the cereal compression and for the movement of all sliding devices.

The machine is capable to expand any kind of cereals or mix of them by means of the high strenght given to the moulds by the hydraulic unit. The requested and accurate machine regulations are achieved by few and simple adjustments, mainly variating two parameters: working pressure and cooking time.

The machine is completely managed by a PLC that is controlled by the operator by means of the new touch screen panel.

Prepare the cereal or the cereal mix adding water in order to increase the moisture content up to 16-18%.

It is possible to add salt or heat resistant flavours to obtain a very savoury and tasty product. The prepared cereal is put in the large feeding hopper and the machine is now ready to start production.

A feeding plate is dosing by volume the product at the right quantity to the moulds; then moulds close and heat the cereal for about 6 seconds. The quick opening of moulds causes the cereal expansion and the rice cake forming, thanks to the high energy accumulated in the previous phase

The rice cakes are then automatically expelled with the possibility to tranfer them by belt conveyor to the next production phase that can be a Chocolate Enrobing Line a Liquid Spraying System Line, a Povvder Coating Line or simply a Wrapping Machine.

Cake forming moulds are manufactured in hardened and tempered steel, titanium coated in order to avoid sticking between cereal and die, thus reducing the need of cleaning to the minimum. Moulds heating is assured by armorplated and high density heating elements and the temperature control is done on three different points of the mould holding plate, so that temperature is kept as constant and homogeneous as possible.

We can supply also a smaller machine with half mould size.

Machine capacity depends very much on product to be processed, final look and weight to be obtained. Ali these factors are of basic importance in the cooking phase and result in the actual production capacity of the machine.

The chart shows the production capacities referred to round brown rice.
