Answer –
The image displays the process by which instant noodles are produced.
Overall, what stands out is that it is an 8-stage, man-made, linear process. It begins with storing and then mixing flour with raw materials and ends when cups are filled with cooked noodles and some ingredients before packaging the cups that can be made instantly.
Focusing on the first four stages, initially, flour from a truck is stored in silos, from where it is transported and put into a mixer, and at the same time, water and oil are also added to it, and the components are blended until dough is formed. Subsequently, the dough is flattened into sheets by pressing it between rollers, which are then divided into strips using a cutting machine.
Once flat strips are cut out of dough sheets, they are given the shape of discs with the help of circular moulds, and then, these noodle discs are cooked in oil before being left to dry. In the next stage, the dried noodle discs are put into round cups along with spices and vegetables in order to enhance the taste. Finally, these instant noodle cups are labelled and sealed using a machine.
