🏭 Tortilla Doritos Production Line (Corn Chips)

Presented by Al-Faraj Engineering Industries

The production of corn chips (Tortilla Doritos) is one of the most precise industrial processes in the snack food sector. It requires specialized equipment and strict control over quality and hygiene. Al-Faraj Engineering Industries presents this overview for educational purposes and to illustrate the modern stages of manufacturing this popular product.

🌽 Main Ingredients

• Refined cornmeal (semolina): The main ingredient of the dough.
• Water and vegetable oil: To form the dough and enhance crispiness.
• Starch, flavors, and salt: To improve taste and texture.
• Dough improvers and natural colorants: To enhance the dough’s consistency and color.
• Antioxidants: To preserve oil quality and product freshness.

All proportions are precisely controlled to ensure the ideal taste and texture for each product type.

⚙️ Production Stages

1. Mixing and Homogenizing

All dry and liquid ingredients are weighed and mechanically mixed until a smooth, homogeneous dough is formed.

2. Extrusion and Cooking

The dough is cooked inside an extruder under high temperature and pressure, then shaped through special dies to form the characteristic chip shape.

3. Drying

Moisture content is reduced in multi-stage dryers to achieve the perfect crispness without burning.

4. Frying or Baking

The chips are either fried in hot vegetable oil or baked in high-temperature ovens, depending on the product type (fried or baked).

5. Seasoning

Hot chips are tumbled in a rotating drum and coated with flavoring powders such as cheese or spices.

6. Cooling and Screening

The chips are cooled and screened to remove irregular or broken pieces, ensuring consistent quality.

7. Packaging

The chips are packed in multi-layer bags filled with nitrogen gas to maintain freshness, crispness, and flavor for a longer shelf life.

🧪 Quality Control and Safety

All production stages are carried out in compliance with GMP and HACCP standards to ensure food safety and product quality. Continuous tests are conducted for color, texture, flavor, and moisture content to guarantee a uniform, delicious, and safe final product.
