Working principle:

Raw materials such as corn, rice, wheat, or soybean flour are mixed with water in the feeding system. The twin-screw extruder applies heat, pressure, and shear to cook the dough uniformly. The extruded material expands as it exits the die, forming crispy snacks of consistent shape. Snacks are then optionally fried, seasoned in a flavoring drum, cooled, and packed. Adjustable screw speed and die molds provide precise control over shape, size, and texture.

Main features:

• Twin-screw extrusion ensures stable dough flow and consistent puffed snack expansion.
• Handles multiple raw materials, including corn, rice, wheat, and soybean flour, for diverse snack options.
• Fully automated line integrates mixing, extrusion, frying, seasoning, and cooling for efficiency.
• Stainless steel construction guarantees hygiene, corrosion resistance, and long-lasting operation.
• Adjustable die mold and variable-speed screw allow flexible snack shapes, lengths, and textures.
• Energy-efficient design reduces operational costs while maintaining high-quality output.

Application scenarios:

• Commercial production of puffed corn and cereal snacks
• Breakfast cereal and grain-based snack production lines
• Fried and flavored snack manufacturing
• Medium to large-scale snack processing facilities
