300-500kg/h Twin Screw Snack Extruder for Puffed Corn Snacks

Product Introduction for Twin Screw Snack Extruder

The 300–500kg/h twin screw snack extruder is an industrial food processing machine designed for producing puffed snacks from corn, rice, wheat, and other grain flours. The equipment uses a twin screw extrusion system to process raw materials into expanded snack products with various shapes.

This machine performs mixing, extrusion, forming, and cutting processes to create puffed snack foods with consistent structure and texture. The extrusion system provides stable material conveying and uniform processing conditions for efficient snack production.

It is widely used in snack food manufacturing plants, cereal processing facilities, and commercial food factories that require reliable puffed snack production equipment for medium to large-scale production.

Working principle：

Raw materials such as corn flour, rice flour, and wheat flour are first mixed and conveyed into the twin screw extrusion chamber. Inside the extruder, the rotating twin screws apply high temperature, pressure, and mechanical shear to cook and plasticize the material. As the processed material exits through the die head, a sudden pressure drop causes rapid expansion, forming puffed snack structures. A rotary cutting system then shapes the product into uniform sizes before further drying, flavoring, and cooling processes.
