<![CDATA[Implementation of dried corn noodle processing technology is required to enrich cornprocessing culture in our sociaty. However improvement of the process is still required to becommercially feasible. In general, scale-up production capacity will affect the operating conditionspecially to the material balance during the production process. Material balance used as a base infinalcial analysis dan feasibility study. This research aimed to study the effects of production capacityscale-up on material balance. In this study the weight of all material during corn noodle processingstages are recorded. The increment of corn noodle production capacities are 3, 4, 5 and 6 kg per batch.The results showed that final yields range from 63.3 to 64.5%. Production capacity scale-up is notsignificantly affected material balance during row material weighing,dough steaming,sheeting-slitting,drying and packaging. Production capacity scale-up increase the process efficiency during doughcompressing and noodle steaming stages, however decrease the mixing stage efficiency.]]>
