Introduction to puffed food processing technology and process

Puffed food, due to its low production cost and well-established process flow, can meet people's diverse taste needs through formula variations and diversified flavors. Do you know the processing technology and process of puffed food? Next, let's explore the secrets of puffed food production together.

Common processes for puffed food include extrusion, baking, and frying types.

1. Extrusion puffing utilizes the principle of high-temperature extrusion to force raw materials through a screw, placing the material under high temperature and high pressure. The material is then extruded through small openings at the outlet, and the vaporization of moisture causes the material to expand, forming a loose-textured puffed food. 2. Baking puffing involves first mixing raw and auxiliary materials with water and steam to form a specific shape of dough, which is then dried and baked using hot air or hot sand, causing the moisture in the dough to expand and create puffing. 3. Fried puffing, similar to baking puffing, requires the preparation of dough first, which is then fried to achieve puffing.

Puffed food processing technology and process

1. Direct extrusion type: mixing equipment; extrusion equipment; forming equipment; baking equipment; automatic or semi-automatic packaging equipment.

2. Patterned type: Patterned puffed food should be equipped with the production equipment required for baking, frying, or extrusion types according to its process type.

3. Baking type: kneading equipment; forming equipment; drying equipment; baking equipment; automatic or semi-automatic packaging equipment. Production equipment required for processing semi-finished products into finished products: baking equipment; automatic or semi-automatic packaging equipment.

4. Fried type: mixing equipment; steaming and kneading equipment; forming equipment; drying equipment; frying equipment; automatic or semi-automatic packaging equipment. Production equipment required for processing semi-finished products into finished products: frying equipment; automatic or semi-automatic packaging equipment.

The production techniques for puffed food are diverse, and the production equipment is varied, capable of meeting people's various taste preferences. Therefore, the puffed food industry has very promising development prospects.
