Southeast Asia consumes 40+ billion packs of instant noodles annually, and its rice noodle market is growing at 12% a year. Is your production line capturing its share?

Here’s what the Southeast Asian noodle market looks like: Indonesia is the world’s No.2 instant noodle consumer. Vietnam exports rice noodles to 60+ countries. Thailand’s food processing exports grow 8% annually. The Philippines has seen double-digit instant noodle growth for five consecutive years. Across the region, legacy semi-automatic lines are being phased out — labor costs keep climbing, hiring gets harder, and export quality standards keep tightening.

 The HICOCA dual-line solution — instant noodles + rice noodles, purpose-built for Southeast Asian factories:

Instant noodle line — capacity that keeps pace with market growth: The FYMX series covers six models. Type 800 delivers a steady 640 pieces/min, Type 1200 scales to 960 pieces/min. Horizontal double-shaft mixer → disc aging → continuous sheeting → multi-layer steaming (just 350-400 kg steam per 1000 kg output) → dual-filtration frying → cooling → packaging. 13 processes fully integrated, only 2 operators needed. Patented automatic sheet splicing — optical sensors detect breaks, conveyor auto-joins, zero manual intervention, defect rates slashed. Square cake design, fully compatible with Southeast Asia’s dominant pouch and cup packaging formats.

Rice noodle line — export-grade quality from day one: The QZDZTXF-1000 fully automatic fresh rice noodle line delivers 900-1000 kg/h. Smart dosing system uses PLC for precise water and rice control. Patented steam management technology keeps gelatinization stable at ≥90%, moisture precisely at 60-70%. Dual-drum gelatinization + single-drum extrusion, consistent cylindrical rice noodle quality every batch. Water consumption as low as 3.5-4 tons per ton, power just 230-240 kWh per ton — ideal for cost-sensitive markets like Vietnam and Thailand.

Already proven across Asia: 42+ countries exported. Delivery cases in India, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Japan and Korea. Full-cycle capability — from design, manufacturing and testing to shipping, installation and training — Southeast Asian clients go in with zero concerns.
