This is how a food extruder works

The food puffing machine production line mainly uses potato starch, corn starch, and flour as raw materials, adopting a unique extrusion process to produce various popular secondary puffed foods on the market. The production line is designed with reasonable structure, high automation, and accurate extrusion parameter control. The main machine uses high and low-pressure screws, expanding the range of raw materials, reducing costs, and improving product quality. The main products of the puffed food production line include: shells, square tubes, corn rings, pizza rolls, etc.

What are the advantages of the food puffing machine:

1. The puffing machine features a novel design, compact structure, and simple and convenient operation and maintenance.

2. The transmission system of the puffed food equipment operates stably, safely, and reliably, with durability and low failure rate.

3. The key components of the automatic food puffing machine are made of special alloy materials through heat treatment, ensuring long service life and low production costs.

4. The extruder screw features a strong self-cleaning design, with self-cleaning thread grooves, allowing changes in product type and formula without stopping for cleaning.

5. The extruder screw has strong pumping capacity, strong material adhesion and diffusion, fast propulsion speed, and relatively stable product quality. 6. The extruder screw discharge nozzle adopts a modular design for easy adjustment.

7. The automatic feeding system uses a new type of switched reluctance speed-regulating motor to control the horizontal conveying screw, enabling quantitative feeding and effectively preventing material bridging.

8. The independent leisure puffed food cutting device and means are connected to the main body, and the gap between the blade and the template can be easily adjusted.

9. Different templates can be configured as needed to produce products of various specifications and shapes. 10. The main shaft is of a combined structure, and the spare extension shaft can be used for expansion processing of different raw materials.

11. Suitable for both dry and wet use. In a single-screw expander device, a wet expander of 30 kW or more can be installed.

12. From raw materials, extrusion, sandwich forming, disconnection, spraying of preparations, seasoning to finished product delivery, once in place, the level of mechanical automation is high.

A food extruder is a twin-screw extruder that uses screw extrusion technology to feed materials into the extruder. The screw of the extruder drives the raw materials to form axial flow. Meanwhile, due to the physical friction between the screw and the raw materials, between the raw materials and the barrel, and within the raw materials themselves, the raw materials undergo forced extrusion, stirring, and shearing, making them fine and uniform. When the slurry is ejected from the die holes, under the strong pressure difference, the raw materials expand, lose water, and cool, producing products that are loose, porous, and crispy. Their good taste and flavor are deeply loved by people. Moreover, the price of food extruders is low.
