company news about What are the advantages of corn chips production line compared with traditional frying process?

The fully automatic potato chips production line is a very popular puffed food production equipment on the market. Although traditional fried puffed foods are delicious, non-fried puffed foods are the best choice for long-term health. So what are the advantages of the corn chips production line compared to traditional frying technology?

Compared with traditional frying production lines, this technology has obvious differences:

- Outstanding health benefits: The oil content of the product can be controlled below 8%, preventing the formation of trans fatty acids and aligning with the current low-fat diet trend;
- Reduced energy costs: Heat utilization is increased by 30%, eliminating the need for frequent frying oil changes, saving approximately 500 RMB per ton of product;
- Flexible flavor control: By adjusting the screw assembly and die shape, hollow, spiral, and other custom-shaped corn strips can be produced, improving seasoning penetration.

Key technical control points in production:

- Moisture Control: Maintain a moisture content of 14%-16% for the mixed material. A higher moisture content will result in uneven expansion, while a lower moisture content will increase equipment load.
- Temperature Gradient Management: The extruder has three temperature zones: the feed zone (80°C), the compression zone (150°C), and the melt zone (180°C), which must be precisely coordinated.
- Screw Speed Matching: Typically maintained between 200-400 rpm. A speed that is too high can result in a dense product, while a speed that is too low can affect expansion.
- Die Maintenance: Inspect the die hole finish every 50 tons of production. Carbon deposits can cause roughness on the surface of the sticks.

This non-frying expansion technology is reshaping the production of corn snacks, retaining the expansion of traditional deep-frying methods while imparting product characteristics that are more in line with modern consumer preferences.
