Product Introduction for Twin Screw Extruder

The 100–500kg/h twin screw extruder is a food processing machine designed for producing puffed snack foods from grain-based raw materials such as corn, rice, wheat, and oats. Using advanced extrusion technology, the machine processes raw materials into expanded snack products with a light and crispy texture.

During operation, the twin screw system mixes, cooks, and forms the materials under controlled temperature and pressure conditions, producing snacks with consistent structure and quality. Different product shapes can be obtained by changing the extrusion molds.

This equipment is widely used in snack food manufacturing plants, grain processing facilities, and commercial food factories producing extruded snack products.

Working principle:

Grain materials such as corn flour, rice flour, and wheat flour are first mixed with water and then fed into the twin screw extrusion chamber. Inside the chamber, two intermeshing screws rotate to convey, compress, and heat the material. Under high temperature and pressure, the material becomes plasticized. When it exits through the extrusion die, the sudden pressure drop causes rapid expansion, forming porous and crispy puffed snack structures.

Main features:

  • Twin screw extrusion system ensures efficient mixing, stable conveying, and uniform cooking of grain materials.
  • Intermeshing screw design improves material mixing and supports processing of high-fiber and high-protein ingredients.
  • Durable screw and barrel components ensure stable operation under high temperature and pressure conditions.
  • Flexible extrusion die system allows production of various snack shapes such as sticks, rings, and chips.
  • Advanced extrusion technology ensures consistent product structure and stable puffing performance.
  • Strong machine frame design provides reliable performance for continuous industrial food processing.

Application scenarios:

  • Puffed corn snack production lines
  • Grain-based extruded snack food factories
  • Breakfast cereal and puffed grain snack processing
  • Corn, rice, and wheat puff snack production facilities
  • Packaged snack manufacturing for retail food markets
  • Commercial snack food processing plants producing extruded foods
