Flour Mixing → Screw Conveying → Extrusion → Cutting → Hoisting → Drying → Cooling → Packing
Raw flours are uniformly blended in the flour mixer. The screw conveyor transfers the mix to the twin-screw extruder. The extruder cooks and forms dough into screw shapes, shell patterns, or pellet designs. The precision cutter cuts pellets to uniform size.
Cut pellets are hoisted to the continuous dryer for uniform moisture removal. The cooling conveyor then rapidly cools dried pellets. Finished snack pellets are shelf-stable and ready for frying or packing. Complete end-to-end automation from raw material to semi-finished products.
