The fortified rice kernel extrusion line is used to produce fortified rice, which is rice that has been supplemented with additional micronutrients to improve its nutritional value. The process involves mixing dry rice flour with a premix of micronutrients, adding water to the mixture, and then extruding it through a twin-screw extruder with heating zones. The extrusion process helps to evenly distribute the micronutrients throughout the rice, ensuring that each grain of rice is nutritionally fortified. The extruded mixture is then cut into small kernels or grains, which are similar in shape and size to regular rice. The fortified rice kernels are then typically dried and packaged for distribution.
