Results for “Corn Puff Extruder”

A corn puff extruder producing expanded corn snacks, cooking and expanding the grits in the barrel and cutting them to shape at the die.

The degree of expansion determines the texture of the finished snack: more expansion gives a lighter, crisper product, less gives a denser one. It is controlled through moisture and temperature during running rather than being fixed by the machine, so one extruder covers a range of textures.

A corn puff extruder machine for producing puffed corn snacks in a range of shapes, with shape set by the die profile.

Shape is a significant part of how a snack brand is recognised on shelf, and changing it is a die change rather than a machine modification, which makes it practical to extend a range without further capital investment. We supply die sets covering the common profiles and can produce custom profiles. Contact us with the shapes in your range for a die recommendation.
