Traditional puffed snacks often rely on deep-frying, which, while crispy, is high in fat, making them a barrier to many consumers. Non-frying puffing technology, on the other hand, uses high-temperature, high-pressure physical processes to instantly vaporize the moisture in the corn, creating a porous structure that retains the crispiness while significantly reducing the fat content.
A complete non-fried potato chips production line usually includes the following core parts:
(1) Raw material pretreatment system
Corn kernels need to be cleaned, screened, and cleaned to ensure they are free of mold or impurities. Some production lines also adjust the moisture content of the corn to make it more suitable for puffing.
(2) Puffing machine
This is the "heart" of the production line. Automatic control systems are often used to ensure the stability of each batch of products.
(3) Shaping and cooling
The shape of the puffed corn balls may be irregular and needs to be adjusted to a standard round shape through a shaping roller or mold. They then enter the cooling tunnel for rapid cooling and shaping.
(4) Seasoning system
The spray type is suitable for liquid seasonings, while the drum type is more suitable for powdered seasonings. Some high-end equipment is also equipped with a secondary drying process to ensure that the seasoning layer is firm and does not fall off.
(5) Packaging process
The finished product goes through processes such as automatic weighing and nitrogen filling packaging to ensure sealing and shelf life. It can effectively delay oxidation and maintain a crisp taste.

Advantages of non-frying technology
Compared to traditional frying, non-frying puffing equipment offers several significant advantages:
-Healthiness: The fat content is significantly reduced, meeting modern consumers' demand for low-fat snacks.
-High Efficiency: The continuous production design can achieve output of hundreds of kilograms per hour, making it suitable for large-scale operations.
-Flavor Control: The seasoning process allows for flexible adjustment of recipes to develop different flavors, such as sweet and spicy, or sea salt.
The potato chips production line is not only a technological achievement, but also the key to achieving a balance between deliciousness and health.
