company news about Why is puffing better than frying?

In the world of snacks, puffed foods have always occupied an important position. They are produced through corn chips production lines.

The core of the twin-screw extruder in the corn chips production line lies in its unique screw structure. Unlike traditional single-screw equipment, the twin-screw design allows for more uniform mixing, shearing, and heating of materials within the barrel. After entering the feed port, materials (such as rice flour or corn flour) are propelled forward by the two intermeshing screws, simultaneously subjecting them to high temperature and high pressure. This process causes starch gelatinization and protein denaturation, ultimately leading to puffing and formation of the chips due to the sudden drop in pressure at the moment of exiting the die.

Advantages of Fully Automated Production Lines
Modern puffed food processing equipment typically integrates a complete, fully automated production line, requiring virtually no human intervention from raw material input to finished product packaging. This design offers several distinct advantages:
-High Efficiency: The continuous operation of a twin-screw extruder is faster than traditional batch production, achieving outputs of hundreds of kilograms or more per hour.
-Strong Stability: The automated control system precisely adjusts parameters such as temperature and pressure, reducing human error and ensuring consistent product quality.
-Flexibility: By changing molds and adjusting processes, the same production line can produce puffed foods with varying shapes and textures, such as hollow sticks and spherical rice crackers.
-Fully automated production lines are often equipped with online testing equipment that monitors key product indicators such as degree of puffing and moisture content in real time, further improving product yields.

Prioritize manufacturers with proven track records. On-site factory visits or test runs are effective ways to verify equipment performance. After-sales service is also crucial. When equipment issues arise, the manufacturer's ability to quickly respond and provide technical support directly impacts production progress.
