A soya nuggets machine is a specialized food processing unit designed to produce healthy and protein-rich soya nuggets, which are widely consumed as a vegetarian alternative to meat. The machine uses advanced extrusion technology to process defatted soy flour or soy protein powder into textured, ready-to-cook nuggets. It consists of several key components including a mixer, twin-screw extruder, cutter, dryer, and sometimes a flavoring line, ensuring continuous and hygienic production.
The process begins with mixing raw soy flour with water and other additives to achieve the right texture. This mixture is then fed into the extruder, where it is cooked under high temperature and pressure. The twin-screw system expands the material, giving the nuggets their spongy and fibrous meat-like texture. After extrusion, the nuggets are cut into uniform shapes and dried to reduce moisture content, ensuring a longer shelf life.
