company news about What snacks can be produced on the potato chips production line?

The potato chips production line can produce a variety of puffed snacks.

The potato chip production line can produce a variety of puffed snacks, including potato chips, French fries, rice crackers, popcorn, rice crackers, oatmeal, and more. The equipment is also very simple to use and operate. So, what are the components of the equipment? What is the function of each component? Let's briefly analyze them below.

Snacks have always been an important part of the snack food market. While traditional deep-frying and puffing methods can produce a crispy texture, increasing health awareness is leading to a trend towards non-frying methods.

The core of the extruder lies in the physical puffing process under high temperature and high pressure. The rotating screw propels the material through a triple action of shear, friction, and heating, causing the starch structure to gelatinize. When the hot paste is suddenly released from the die to atmospheric pressure, the water vaporizes and expands, forming a porous, crispy strip. This process eliminates the need for frying, yet preserves the natural aroma of corn and achieves superior puffing uniformity compared to traditional frying.

Main components of the production line

A complete potato chip production line typically consists of five modules:
-Pretreatment System: After screening and stone removal, the corn feed is fed into a grinder, where it is crushed to a fineness of 80-120 mesh and then mixed with the auxiliary ingredients in a mixing tank.
-Twin-screw extruder: Utilizing variable-speed control, the barrel temperature can be precisely controlled. The die aperture determines the product thickness.
-Cutting and Shaping Unit: Rotating blades cut the extruded continuous strips into standard lengths, while a simultaneous oil spraying system provides surface seasoning.
-Drying and Cooling Line: A multi-layer mesh belt oven uses 60-80°C hot air to remove excess moisture, while a cooling tunnel sets the product shape.
-Packaging Unit: Automatic weighing and filling, combined with nitrogen-filled packaging, extend the shelf life to over 6 months.
