Bugles Production Line Machine

Bugles chips snacks food flavors machines for applying seasoning to fried bugles and similar shaped snacks, covering oil spray and powder dosing so the flavour is carried onto the surface evenly.

Seasoning is where a snack either tastes like the sample or does not. Powder will not stick to a dry snack, so oil is sprayed first at a controlled rate and the powder is dosed in proportion to the product flow rather than at a fixed rate. Under-dosing gives bland product; over-dosing wastes expensive seasoning and leaves loose powder in the bag. Contact us with your flavour list and line speed and we will specify the oil spray and dosing arrangement.

An automatic rice bugles fried snack food machine producing the cone-shaped fried bugle snack from a rice-based pellet, covering forming, frying and seasoning in a continuous run.

Rice as the base gives a lighter, crisper bugle than corn and a paler finish that takes bright seasoning well. The pellet is formed and dried, then fried briefly so it expands into the familiar cone, and seasoned while still warm so the flavour adheres. Because the pellet can be made and stored, forming and frying do not have to run at the same time, which suits producers whose demand varies. Contact EMC Machines Manufactures with your output target and we will specify the line.

A bugle snacks food pellet making machine production line covering mixing, extrusion, forming, cutting and drying to produce a stable snack pellet ready for frying or expansion.

Supplied as a line rather than a single unit because pellet quality depends on the drying stage as much as the extruder. A pellet dried too fast case-hardens and will not expand; dried too slowly it risks mould in storage. The line therefore matches extruder output to dryer capacity, which is the sizing decision that matters most. Shape is a die change, so one line produces several products. Contact EMC Machines Manufactures with your product range and target tonnage and we will lay the line out.

A fried bugles chips snacks extruder making machine covering the extrusion and forming stage of a fried bugle line, producing the shaped half-product that goes on to the fryer.

The extruder determines the shape and the cell structure, and the cell structure is what decides whether the finished snack is crisp or tough. That comes from how the dough is cooked in the barrel before it reaches the die, not from the fryer afterwards, which is why extruder specification is the decision worth taking time over. Die changes give different shapes from the same machine. Contact EMC Machines Manufactures with the shapes and recipes you plan to produce and we will advise on the screw and die configuration.

A bugle snack chips pellet making machine producing the dried half-product pellet that is later fried or hot-air expanded into bugles and similar shaped snacks.

The pellet is the part of this business that travels. Dried to a stable moisture it keeps for months and ships at a fraction of the volume of the finished snack, which is why many producers make pellets centrally and fry close to the market. Getting the pellet right is therefore the whole job: correct gelatinisation during extrusion and a controlled drying curve, or it will not expand properly months later. Contact us with the shapes and recipes you intend to run and we will configure the die set and dryer.
