400-500kg/h Puffed Food Extruder for Corn Snacks Production

Product Introduction for Puffed Food Extruder

The 400–500kg/h puffed food extruder is a fully automated snack production machine constructed from high-quality stainless steel. It can process corn, rice, wheat, barley, and other grains into various puffed snack shapes using adjustable twin-screw extrusion technology.

This equipment addresses the need for efficient, high-output production with minimal manual labor. The extruder allows precise control over product shape, size, and puffing quality, making it suitable for high-temperature, high-pressure processing.

Ideal for commercial snack factories, food processing plants, and large-scale puffed food production lines, it delivers uniform, ready-to-eat puffed snacks while maintaining hygiene and operational efficiency.

Working principle：

Grains such as corn, rice, wheat, and barley are fed into the twin-screw extruder, where friction and pressure cook and gelatinize the material. The mixture passes through a high-pressure, high-temperature chamber before being forced through adjustable dies to form various shapes like balls, sticks, tubes, rings, stars, flowers, and wheels. The twin screws ensure uniform puffing, while the stainless steel construction maintains hygiene and durability. The compact design allows easy operation, and automated control reduces labor requirements, producing consistent, high-quality puffed snacks ready for packaging or flavoring.

Main features：

• Stainless steel construction ensures food-grade hygiene and long-term operational durability.
• Adjustable dies enable diverse snack shapes including balls, sticks, tubes, rings, and stars.
• Automated operation reduces labor cost and simplifies training for operators.
• Compact footprint allows installation in space-limited production facilities.
• High-temperature, high-pressure puffing ensures consistent texture and puffed quality.

Application scenarios：

• Commercial corn, rice, wheat, and barley puffed snack production lines
• Industrial food factories producing balls, sticks, rings, and star-shaped snacks
• Automated puffed snack processing for retail or wholesale distribution
• Ready-to-eat snack production facilities seeking high output and efficiency
• Food processing plants implementing high-temperature, high-pressure extrusion technology
