100-120kg/h Puffed Corn Grain Extruder for Snack Production

Product Introduction for Puffed Corn Grain Extruder

The 100–120kg/h fully automatic Puffed Corn Grain Extruder is a food extrusion machine designed for commercial and home snack production. Constructed with food-grade stainless steel, it processes corn, wheat, millet, sorghum, and other grains into puffed snacks of diverse shapes including hollow balls, tubes, stars, peanuts, and decorative forms.

This machine addresses the need for efficient, hygienic, and high-output snack production. Through controlled extrusion, low-temperature cooking, and optional flavoring, it preserves nutrition, kills microorganisms, and produces safe, ready-to-eat products. It is suitable for food factories, pet food production, home snack processing, and R&D labs focusing on puffed or extruded snack development.

Working principle：

Raw grains such as corn, millet, sorghum, and rice are fed into the twin-screw extruder. Friction and pressure from the screw and barrel cook the material, causing gelatinization and protein coagulation. The mixture is pushed through a die, where it is cut by a cutter to the desired shape and length, forming hollow balls, tubes, sticks, stars, or decorative shapes. Controlled low-temperature extrusion ensures nutrition retention, while microorganisms are killed for food safety. Interchangeable molds allow for multiple shapes and thicknesses. The extruded puffed snacks are ready-to-eat and can be flavored as desired.

Main features：

• Food-grade stainless steel construction ensures hygiene, corrosion resistance, and long-term durability.
• Interchangeable molds allow production of various shapes such as balls, tubes, stars, and peanuts.
• Low-temperature extrusion preserves nutritional value and kills microorganisms for food safety.
• Twin-screw extrusion ensures uniform puffing and consistent texture in all products.
• Suitable for producing healthy, flavored, ready-to-eat snacks for diverse markets.

 

Application scenarios：

• Commercial puffed snack production lines using corn, rice, millet, and sorghum
• Pet food extrusion for grain-based snacks and feed pellets
• Ready-to-eat puffed snacks for retail or wholesale distribution
• Industrial or small-scale food factories producing hollow, solid, and decorative puffed shapes
