It integrates all stages from raw material preparation to packaging, ensuring high efficiency, consistent quality, and hygiene compliance for both small and large-scale snack factories.
Whether for a new production plant or upgrading existing equipment, this line offers modular configurations that can be tailored to your production capacity, recipe, and process technology.
⚙️ Main Features
✅ Full Process Integration
From raw material feeding, mixing, extrusion, frying/baking, seasoning, to packaging — all processes are seamlessly connected for continuous operation.
✅ Flexible Snack Type Production
Suitable for potato chips, corn curls, cheese balls, rice crackers, bugles, coated peanuts, and other puffed or fried snacks.
By adjusting the extruder die, seasoning system, or fryer, you can produce multiple types of snacks on one line.
