Complete Prawn Cracker Line for Extruded Snack Production

Product introduction of Complete Prawn Cracker Line

The Complete Prawn Cracker Line is specially designed for producing high-quality ready-to-fry shrimp crackers from starch, shrimp ingredients, and seasoning materials. The complete system combines multiple processing stages, including mixing, extrusion cooking, shaping, cutting, cooling, drying, and product sorting, creating a smooth and consistent production workflow.

During operation, raw materials are evenly blended and processed through the extrusion system to form stable cylindrical cracker materials. The forming unit shapes the products according to required dimensions, while the cutting system adjusts slice thickness to achieve different cracker specifications. After cooling and drying, the finished cracker pieces are prepared for frying and packaging.

With automatic temperature control, adjustable cutting performance, and continuous processing capability, this production line improves efficiency while reducing manual labor. It provides a reliable solution for snack manufacturers producing shrimp crackers, prawn chips, and other starch-based puffed snack products.

Working Principle

The production line works by transforming mixed raw materials into ready-to-fry prawn cracker products through a continuous automated process.

First, starch, shrimp ingredients, seasoning materials, and water are accurately mixed to form a homogeneous dough. The mixture is then transferred into the extrusion unit, where heating and mechanical pressure cook the material and create a stable structure.

After extrusion, the material passes through the forming system to produce continuous cracker sticks with uniform diameter. The cutting machine then divides the formed material into specific lengths and thicknesses according to customer requirements.

The sliced cracker pieces are conveyed for cooling, drying, and quality sorting. Drying reduces moisture content and prepares the products for storage or frying. Through precise control of each processing stage, the production line ensures consistent product appearance, texture, and frying performance.

Production Process

Raw Material Mixing

The mixing system combines starch, shrimp powder, shrimp ingredients, seasoning materials, and water evenly to create a uniform mixture.

Extrusion Cooking

The prepared material enters the extrusion system where controlled heating and pressure cook the mixture into a stable cylindrical form.

Forming

The extruded material passes through the forming unit and is shaped into cracker sticks with consistent diameter and structure.

Cutting

The cutting machine slices the formed material into required lengths and adjustable thicknesses according to production needs.

Cooling and Conveying

The sliced products are evenly distributed on the conveyor system for cooling and further processing.

Drying

The drying system removes moisture from cracker pieces to improve storage stability and frying performance.

Sorting

The sorting system removes unwanted residues and ensures final product quality before packaging.
