150kg/h Crispy Snack Manufacturing Line for Puffed Food

Product Introduction: Crispy Snack Manufacturing Line

The Crispy Snack Manufacturing Line is designed for producing a wide range of crispy puffed snack products, including chips, curls, strips, rings and other customized snack shapes. The complete production system combines raw material mixing, conveying, extrusion cooking, forming, cutting, frying, deoiling, flavoring, cooling and packaging into one continuous process.

With advanced extrusion technology, the production line processes various grain powders and starch-based ingredients such as wheat flour, corn powder and rice powder to create snacks with excellent expansion and crisp texture. The interchangeable molds and forming systems allow manufacturers to easily develop different product designs according to market demands.

The integrated production process simplifies operation, improves efficiency and reduces manual labor requirements. Designed for a capacity of 150kg/h, this snack processing line provides a reliable solution for food factories producing fried puffed snacks, crispy chips and innovative snack products.

Working Principle

The production process begins with mixing selected raw materials into a uniform blend. The mixture is transported through a screw conveyor into the twin-screw extrusion system, where high pressure and controlled heat cook the material and create an expanded structure.

After extrusion, the continuous dough passes through forming and cutting units to achieve different snack shapes. The shaped products are then fried to develop their crispy texture and expanded appearance. After frying, the deoiling system removes excess oil, while the seasoning unit adds different flavors according to product requirements. Finally, the snacks are cooled and packaged for sale.

The complete automated workflow ensures stable operation, efficient production and consistent snack quality.
