Oat flakes are rolled oat grains, flat in shape, about the same diameter as soybean grains, and complete in shape. Shelled oats can be ground into oatmeal of various thicknesses, or softened and rolled into rolled oats. The instant processed oatmeal has a somewhat crumbly feel, but its original shape is still visible.

        Process of oatmeal

　　1. Oat cleaning machine, high-efficiency vibrating screen, oat peeling machine, iron remover, rotary screen, specific gravity screen, etc. commonly used in oat cleaning equipment.

　　2. Oat peeling and whitening machine: The purpose of peeling is to whiten and remove dust. The peeling of oats only needs to be gently rubbed to remove the wool and epidermis. It is not necessary to remove too much skin like rice.

　　3. Washing and drying oatmeal: After peeling, it should be washed and then centrifuged to dry.

　　4. Enzyme inactivation heat treatment: After hydrothermal treatment of oats, enzymes can be inactivated, and the oat starch can be gelatinized and the baking flavor can be increased. The heat-treated oats must be processed in the next process or forced to cool in time

　　5. Oat groat cutter: The oat flakes have whole-grain tableting and dicing tableting. Pelletizing is to cut the oatmeal into 1/2~1/3 size granules through a rotary drum granulator. The oatmeal shape of the diced and flaked oatmeal is neat and consistent, and it is easy to be pressed into flakes instead of powder.

　　6. Oat cooking machine: one is to further inactivate enzymes and sterilize the oat; the second is to fully gelatinize the starch to meet the requirements of instant or quick cooking; the third is to make the oat moist and soft, making it easy to tablet. The cooking equipment is best to use a reversible cooking machine.

　　7. Oat flaking mill machine: The oats after cooking and moisturizing are pressed into flakes by a double-roller mill machine, and then cooled to room temperature by a fluidized bed dryer.

　　The oatmeal is hulled and ground into oatmeal of various thicknesses, or softened and flattened into rolled oats. The instant processed oatmeal has a somewhat crumbly feel, but its original shape is still visible. Oatmeal has been finely processed into oatmeal, which makes it more convenient to eat and improves the taste, making it a popular health food.
