Industrial Gluten Washing System Behind a Premium Noodle Producer

A heritage noodle maker added our industrial gluten washing machine and lifted wheat gluten yield by 18% while cutting water use by a third.

Industrial Gluten Washing System Behind a Premium Noodle Producer — learn how Yuerui Machinery supports your production with reliable equipment and engineering.

A heritage noodle maker in Henan was washing wheat gluten in three open-top basins with manual kneading. Gluten yield was running at 22% of dry flour weight, water consumption was 18 m³ per ton of gluten, and worker fatigue was capping output at 800 kg of gluten per shift.

The Challenge

The maker needed a closed gluten washing system that would lift yield to at least 26%, cut water use by a third, and operate continuously for 16 hours per day. The system also had to fit inside the existing noodle-making hall with no civils work.

The Solution

We supplied an industrial gluten washing machine with a large stainless drum, automated water circulation, and PLC-controlled wash cycles. The system now produces 1.5 tons of gluten per shift with one operator.
