company news about How to increase the output of snack food puffing production line?

Puffed food is made from grains, potatoes or beans as the main raw materials, and is made by puffing processes such as baking, frying, microwaving or extrusion. It has a significantly increased volume and a certain degree of puffing. It is a snack food with a crispy texture, fragrant aroma and various styles.

When using the food puffing production line, it is very important to choose the type of corn suitable for puffing. Puffed corn needs to have a certain moisture content, starch content and hardness, so that the corn can expand quickly after heating and form a puffed state. Generally speaking, the higher the corn starch content, the better the puffing effect, and the stronger the hardness, the faster the puffing.

Core process of puffed food production line
Typical process flow
Raw material pretreatment: screening → crushing → mixing (grains, starch, auxiliary materials);
Conditioning and puffing: adding water for conditioning → screw extrusion and puffing (temperature/pressure control);
Post-processing section: drying → seasoning (spraying/drum seasoning) → cooling → packaging.
Key process differences
Differences from feed pellet production lines (such as seasoning process, puffing rate control).

Detailed explanation of core equipment and technology
Main equipment components
Pretreatment equipment: cleaning screen, ultrafine pulverizer, premixer;
Puffing host: single/twin screw extruder (differentiate between direct puffing and indirect puffing);
Post-processing equipment: multi-layer oven, seasoning drum, metal detector;
Packaging system: nitrogen filling packaging machine, weight sorting machine.
Technical parameters
Puffing temperature (120~200℃), puffing rate (expansion degree), energy consumption ratio;
Seasoning uniformity (spraying accuracy), packaging residual oxygen rate (freshness requirement).

Production efficiency improvement performance
1. The utilization rate of raw materials is increased by 15%-20%, significantly reducing waste generation
2. The continuous working time of the equipment is extended by more than 30%, reducing the frequency of shutdown maintenance
3. The unit energy consumption is reduced by about 12%, meeting the requirements of green production standards
