150kg/h Corn Curl Snack Extruder Machine for Puffed Food

Product Introduction for Corn Curl Snack Extruder Machine

The corn curl snack extruder machine is a puffed food processing equipment designed for producing extruded corn curl snacks from corn grits. With a production capacity of 150kg/h and a food-grade stainless steel structure, the machine provides stable and reliable operation for continuous snack manufacturing.

This equipment processes corn grits through mixing, extrusion, twisting, and cutting stages to form irregular curl-shaped snack products. The extrusion process expands the material structure, producing crispy and light puffed snacks suitable for seasoning and packaging.

The machine is widely used in snack food factories, puffed snack production lines, and commercial food processing businesses requiring efficient extruded snack production.

Working principle：

Corn grits are first mixed with water in a mixer to form a uniform dough. The mixture is then fed into the extrusion chamber where it is subjected to pressure, heat, and mechanical shear. Inside the extruder, the dough is squeezed and twisted through a specially designed die to form irregular curl shapes. The extruded snacks are cut into desired lengths and transferred to frying or baking equipment before seasoning and final packaging.

Main features：

• Food-grade stainless steel structure ensures hygienic food production and long-term durability in snack processing environments.
• Specialized extrusion and twisting system forms irregular curl-shaped corn snacks with crispy texture.
• Stable feeding and extrusion structure ensures consistent snack size, texture, and product quality.
• Compatible with frying or baking processing lines for producing various flavored puffed snacks.
• Designed for processing corn grits into expanded snack products with uniform shape and appealing texture.

Application scenarios：

• Corn curl puff snack production lines in snack food factories
• Extruded corn snack manufacturing for packaged snack brands
• Fried or baked puff snack production workshops
• Snack product research and development for extruded corn snacks
• Retail snack food production for supermarkets and food distributors
