Flow Chart of Spicy Snack Production Line
To produce high-quality spicy strips, our spicy snack production line follows a precise technological process. Below is the step-by-step workflow:
Dough Mixing → Material Feeding → Extruding and Puffing → Cooling → Cutting → Frying → Seasoning → Packaging
Main Machine Details in the Spicy Snack Processing Line
Flour Mixer
The process starts here. The mixer uniformly blends wheat flour, water, and additives. Ensures the dough is perfectly extrudable, free of lumps.
Feeder and Extruder Machine
This combined unit is the heart of the spicy snack production line. The feeder automatically conveys the mixed flour into the extruder barrel. Under high temperature and pressure, the flour is cooked and extruded through a die to form the snack shape.
Key feature: automatic temperature control and variable speed frequency.
Multi-layer Cooling Machine
Unlike simple belt conveyors, our Multi-layer Cooling Machine utilizes an S-shaped transport path. This design extends the cooling time in a compact footprint, effectively lowering the temperature of the extruded strips to prepare them for cutting.
Advantage: space-saving and high cooling efficiency.
Cutting machine
The cooled strips are fed into the cutter. This machine cuts the long strips into precise, uniform lengths according to your packaging requirements.
Precision: adjustable cutting length with no waste.
Continuous Fryer
The cut snacks are conveyed into the automatic fryer. Frying removes excess moisture and creates the desired texture.
Technology: equipped with an oil filtration system to keep oil clean and extend its usage life, reducing running costs for the Latiao making machine.
Octagonal Seasoning Machine
Fried snacks are de-oiled and moved to the seasoning drum. The octagonal shape allows the snacks to tumble freely, ensuring they are evenly coated with spicy oil and chili powder without breaking.
Packaging Machine
Finally, the seasoned snacks are weighed and packed into bags. The packaging machine creates a tight seal to preserve freshness and extend shelf life.
