  • This'll particular blender Frosted cereal is a combination of wheat flakes, corn flakes and granola clusters, half the flakes frosted and half found on.

  • There's honey rolled oats on rice in the granola.

  • To make the conflicts.

  • They start with kernels of corn.

  • They measure out a specific amount and release it into an industrial version of a pressure cooker.

  • The operator looks the lid on the system, pipes, water and flavorings directly into the cooker.

  • It rotates for uneven distribution of heat, andan, even cooking of the grains.

  • After about three hours, the colonel's have absorbed moisture and soften.

  • As the corn flows out of the cooker, a screw conveyor system moves it towards a dryer.

  • They cook a measured amount of whole wheat kernels in water and flavorings.

  • They only need an hour in the rotating pressure cooker.

  • Like corn, whole wheat absorbs a significant amount of water during cooking.

  • The colonel's are about 30% moisture.

  • When they exit the cooker, they now merge with the corn on route to the dryer.

  • Drying time will bring the most content down to about 19% making the colonel's the right consistency to be transformed into flakes.

  • Grains now flow into a mill.

  • Mel has two big heavy rollers, similar to the kind used to level term colonel's fall.

  • Between these rollers on, they exert tons of pressure to flatten each individual kernel into a flake.

  • In the process, the wheat flakes turned whiter on the corn.

  • Turn more yellow.

  • At this point, the flakes are still quite soft, and not it's all tasty.

  • A trip through a long toaster oven will give it the crisp cereal consistency.

  • It's a high temperature toasting and reduces the most content from 19% to just three.

  • Here you can see the flakes before toasting and after toasting not only makes the corn and wheat flakes crispy, it also enhances the color and flavor.

  • A ride on a conveyor calls them down.

  • Along the way, they split into two different streams.

  • One stream of the mixed flakes travels towards the sugar coating station.

  • The other heads into a flavoring drum.

  • Drum revolves to gently toss the cereal as a sprayer applies a granola kind of flavoring.

  • The other stream of wheat and corn flakes enters the sugar coating drunk.

  • A sprayer disperses a sugar and water mixture is the drum tosses the flakes.

  • Then they travelled through a dryer on.

  • This cures the frosting to flakes frosted, and the flavored flakes now flow onto the same conveyor.

  • It bounces the flakes around to blend them together.

  • To boost the nutrition content, they add honey flavored granola.

  • Granola clusters flow onto a conveyor.

  • They'll merge with the frosted and flavored flakes.

  • This'll feed a pike.

  • Showers granola onto the flakes that's frosted cereal is now ready for supermarket shelves.

  • Machinery dispenses specific amounts into a plastic sleeve, which is heat sealed, then severed at both ends.

  • Mechanical arms.

  • Then pick up boxes, open them and place them on a conveyor.

  • Push rods guide the bags of cereal into the boxes, the best before date, and other information have been printed.

  • On the outside.

  • Nozzles apply glue to the ends of the boxes, brushed by a side barrier that closes them.
