Noodle (Reshteh) Production Line and Factory Setup

A noodle (reshteh) production line is an industrial system designed to produce various types of dried noodles from wheat flour dough through mixing, kneading, extrusion, cutting, drying, and packaging. Typical products include plain noodles, ash reshteh, and other regional noodle varieties.

The process requires precise control of dough consistency, extrusion pressure, cutting length, and drying parameters to achieve uniform texture, low breakage, and good cooking quality.

Main raw materials include wheat flour, water, salt, guar gum, ascorbic acid, egg (optional), food color, oil, and starch. Core equipment consists of dough mixers, kneaders, extruders, cutters, tunnel dryers, coolers, and packaging machines.

The Industrial Department supports new investors establishing a noodle factory and existing plant owners requiring repair, overhaul, capacity expansion, or automation. Projects may start from an empty site or from an operating facility needing technical upgrading.

Engineering, machinery supply or manufacturing, installation, commissioning, and technical support can be provided for projects in Iran, Iraq, Kurdistan Region, Afghanistan, and other regional markets under defined contractual scopes.

Production Line Overview

The noodle production line is engineered as a continuous process system. Capacity is determined during the engineering phase (typical ranges 150–300 kg/h depending on product and dryer size). The process sequence is: weighing and sieving of ingredients, mixing and kneading, extrusion and forming, cutting to length, tunnel drying, cooling, quality control, and packaging.

Main machinery includes dough mixer (100–200 kg/h), kneader (150–250 kg/h), extruder (150–250 kg/h, 15 kW), tunnel dryer (200–300 kg/h, 20 kW), cutter (200–400 kg/h), and packaging machine (up to 600 packs/h).

Supporting infrastructure covers electrical power, steam or hot air for drying, process water, and adequate space for raw material and finished goods storage. Manpower is typically 5–10 persons per shift.

Technical Specifications

The following technical data represent typical ranges. Final values are defined during engineering and may vary according to product type, capacity, and automation level.

Specification	Description
Product	Dried noodles / reshteh (plain, ash, and specialty varieties)
Production Capacity	Depending on project capacity (to be determined during engineering phase); typical 150–300 kg/h
Required Area	200–500 m² (subject to final layout)
Electrical Power	380 V three-phase, 50–80 kW
Steam / Gas	100–200 kg steam per hour (or equivalent hot air system)
Water	2–5 m³/day
Manpower	5–10 persons per shift
Main Machines	Dough mixer, kneader, extruder, cutter, tunnel dryer, cooler, packaging machine

Products

The line can produce various dried noodle types including standard reshteh, ash reshteh, and other regional styles. Length, thickness, and formulation can be adjusted by changing dies and recipes.

Raw Materials for Noodle Factory

Main materials are wheat flour, water, salt, guar gum, and ascorbic acid. Optional materials include egg, food color, oil, and starch. Flour quality (protein content and ash) strongly influences dough strength and final noodle texture.

Support can be examined for projects in Iran, Iraq, Kurdistan Region (Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, Duhok), Baghdad, Basra, Mosul, Afghanistan (Kabul, Herat, Mazar-e-Sharif), Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Syria, Oman, Jordan, Turkey, Armenia, and Georgia.

Manufacturing Process

Weighing and Sieving – Ingredients are accurately weighed and flour is sieved to remove impurities.
Mixing and Kneading – Flour, water, and additives are mixed and kneaded to develop a uniform dough.
Extrusion – Dough is forced through dies to form continuous noodle strands.
Cutting – Strands are cut to the required length.
Drying – Noodles pass through a tunnel dryer to reduce moisture to the target level.
Cooling – Dried noodles are cooled before packaging.
Quality Control and Packaging – Product is inspected and packed into bags or cartons.

Machinery & Equipment

Dough Mixer – Prepares uniform dough (100–200 kg/h).
Kneader – Develops gluten structure (150–250 kg/h).
Extruder – Forms continuous noodle strands under pressure (150–250 kg/h).
Cutter – Cuts strands to programmed length.
Tunnel Dryer – Removes moisture under controlled temperature and airflow (200–300 kg/h).
Packaging Machine – Weighs and packs finished product (up to 600 packs/h).

Support is available for design, manufacturing or procurement, installation, commissioning, repair, overhaul, refurbishment, automation, and spare parts.

Factory Layout & Building Requirements

Typical areas: raw material storage, mixing and kneading zone, extrusion and cutting, drying tunnel, cooling and packaging, finished goods storage, utilities, and staff facilities. Layout must allow smooth material flow and access for dryer maintenance.

Utilities

Electricity: 380 V three-phase, 50–80 kW
Steam or hot air: 100–200 kg/h equivalent
Water: 2–5 m³/day

Turnkey Factory Setup

Projects can start from an empty site and progress through feasibility, engineering, factory design, machinery, procurement, installation, commissioning, training, and commercial production according to the contractual scope.

EPC & PMC

Execution under EPC or PMC approaches is possible. Engineering, machinery, installation supervision, and commissioning are coordinated within defined boundaries.
