Extrusion Snack Technology
Twin-screw extruders for puffed, expanded snacks — corn curls, rings, and other extruded snack shapes.
A twin-screw extruder uses two intermeshing screws to give far more consistent mixing, shear and pressure control than a single-screw design — essential for expanded snack products where texture and puff consistency directly affect product quality.
Raw cereal or corn-based mix is cooked, sheared and forced through a shaping die, expanding as it exits into corn curls, rings or other snack shapes ready for seasoning.
Independent temperature zones along the barrel and VFD-controlled screw speed let you fine-tune expansion and texture for your specific recipe. SS 304 contact parts and a PLC panel keep the line food-safe and consistent.
Pair the extruder with our roasting and drying equipment to build a complete snack production line from raw mix to finished product.
