Kanchan Metals offers a fried Snacks Production Line is an integrated system designed to produce a variety of fried snack products, such as rice crusts, chips, bugles, pizza rolls, and Doritos. The production process typically involves mixing, extruding, cutting, frying, flavoring, and packaging. The resulting products are crispy and have reduced oil content.
Key Components and Functions:
- Mixer: Combines raw materials, such as grain flours, with water and other ingredients to form a uniform dough.
- Screw Conveyor: Transports the mixed dough from the mixer to the extruder efficiently.
- Twin-Screw Extruder: Processes the dough under high temperature and pressure, shaping it into specific forms through dies. This step is crucial for determining the texture and structure of the final snack product.
- Cutting Machine: Cuts the extruded dough into desired shapes and sizes, such as chips, sticks, or bugles.
- Continuous Fryer: Deep-fries the shaped snacks, imparting the characteristic crispiness and golden color. Advanced frying systems often feature oil filtration and temperature control to ensure product consistency and extend oil life.
- De-oiling Machine: Removes excess oil from the fried snacks, resulting in a healthier product with improved taste and texture.
- Flavoring Machine: Applies seasonings uniformly to the fried snacks. This can include both dry flavorings and slurry-based coatings, depending on the desired flavor profile.
- Packaging Machine: Ensures the fried snacks are packed in suitable materials, maintaining freshness and extending shelf life.
