The diagram shows the process of manufacturing cup noodles.

Overall, this automated operation can be divided into 4 main stages beginning with storage of raw ingredients, assembling dry noodles, cooking and eventually packing for later consumption. Everything happens on one series of conveyor belts.

Noodle production starts with storing flour from a truck into tower silos before flavoring in water and oil to shape a mixture which is poured into a mixing machine. Through the rollers, sheets are folded and then cut into strips. Afterward, strips are formed to circular discs. During the next stage, noodles are cooked with oil before being left to dry and packaged in cups with dehydrated vegetables and spices.
