What this line can produce

Corn curls

Crispy snacks are special extruded snacks, very crunchy and great in taste. They are made by a special extrusion process. The process is unique because every piece varies in length and diameter, giving a home-made effect. The corn grits are moistened with water in the vertical mixer and fed to the rotary head extruder. In the extruder, two rotary plates made of brass squeeze and twist the corn grits into curls.

The curls pass through the die and are cut by the cutting knives to the required length. The corn curls are fried in cooking oil or toasted in an oven and then conveyed into a continuous coating drum. The retention time is controlled by adjusting the angle of the drum to suit the required coating level and throughput, ensuring a full and even coating. Seasonings are sprayed on the surface to improve the taste.
