What Our Cheese Ball Making Machine Includes
A complete cheese ball making machine line handles every production stage – from preparing raw cornmeal and cheese flavour through to the final coating. Every SS Engineering cheese ball line includes the following as standard:
- Grid mixer – raw material preparation with precise moisture control
- Cheese puff making machine – twin screw extruder with die for consistent ball and puff shape
- Incline elevator – VFD-controlled belt speed for smooth, uninterrupted material flow
- Rotary siever – removes fines and undersized pieces before frying or baking
- Continuous fryer – submerger conveyor in SS304 with built-in oil filter to extend oil life
- Mechanised hood lifting – safe, tool-free cleaning without production downtime
- De-oiling belt conveyor – VFD-controlled, removes excess frying oil from each piece
- Slurry system with zig-zag drum – delivers uniform flavour and cheese coating on every piece
- Flavour drum – final seasoning and cheese coating stage
- PLC control panel with operator display – single-point monitoring and control for the full line
All food-contact parts are SS304 stainless steel. The built-in conveyor oil filter continuously removes starch particles, keeping frying oil cleaner for longer and lowering your daily running cost. From the first week of production, operators benefit from reduced batch variation and faster changeover times.
Capacity Options
We manufacture cheese ball making machine lines across four standard capacity ranges:
| Capacity | Best For |
|---|---|
| 50 kg/hr | Small and medium snack manufacturers starting cheese ball production |
| 100 kg/hr | Growing brands scaling up to meet rising demand |
| 250 kg/hr | Manufacturers running full production shifts |
| 500 kg/hr | Large-scale industrial cheese ball and puff output |
Most buyers start at 50 or 100 kg/hr and expand as demand grows. We have configured lines at non-standard capacities for buyers whose targets fell between these numbers – custom sizing costs nothing extra. Call us at +91 98184 89414 and we will size the line to your exact requirement.
Baked vs Fried Cheese Ball Lines
We manufacture both types. Here is what separates them:
Fried Cheese Ball Line
Uses a continuous fryer with submerger conveyor. Delivers the classic crispy, airy cheese ball crunch consumers expect from the mainstream snack market. Suited to brands selling in namkeen, extruded snacks, and impulse snack segments.
Baked Cheese Ball Line
Replaces the frying stage entirely with a hot air roasting system. Oil consumption drops to near zero during the cooking stage. Popular with brands targeting health-conscious buyers, school canteen segments, or export markets where oil content is restricted.
Both lines use the same cheese puff making machine extruder, seasoning system, and flavour drum. Only the cooking stage differs. If you are not sure which option fits your product and market, we will walk you through both before you commit to an order.
Machines We Manufacture
Cheese Ball Making Machine – Twin Screw Extruder
The cheese ball making machine runs on a twin screw snack extruder with interchangeable dies. The twin screw configuration generates the shear and heat needed to expand cornmeal and cheese blends uniformly – producing the light, airy cellular structure that defines a quality cheese ball or corn puff. Unlike single screw extruders, the twin screw design handles a wider range of moisture levels and ingredient mixes without jamming or uneven expansion.
Change the die plate and the same cheese balls making machine produces corn rings, cheese rings, or elongated puff shapes – no separate machine needed for each format. Die change takes under 30 minutes. This is why manufacturers who want to run multiple puff snack formats in one factory choose our machine.
- Twin screw extruder – uniform expansion across cornmeal and cheese blends
- Interchangeable die plates – cheese balls, corn rings, and puff shapes on one machine
- Adjustable screw speed and temperature zones for precise texture control
- Compatible with cornmeal, rice meal, cheese powder blends, and mixed grain formulations
- No external heat source dependency – friction and controlled barrel heat drives gelatinization
- Pairs with our kurkure and niknaks lines for complete multi-format snack production floors
Corn Puff and Ring Snack Variants – Same Machine
The cheese puff machine body handles more than just cheese balls. With a different die, the same corn extruder machine produces corn puffs, cheese rings, and tube-shaped snacks without any additional capital investment. Manufacturers in Maharashtra, Punjab, and Delhi run three or four puff snack formats off a single extruder by keeping one machine body and a set of interchangeable die plates.
- Interchangeable die plates – switch between cheese balls, corn puffs, and rings in under 30 minutes
- Fried and baked options available for all formats
- Capacity: 50 / 100 / 250 / 500 kg/hr
- PLC-controlled with SS304 surfaces throughout
- Free installation and operator training at your factory
- 1-year mechanical warranty on every line
Cheese Ball Baked Line – 50 to 500 kg/hr
The automatic baked cheese ball making machine line skips the fryer entirely. Hot air roasting handles the cooking stage. The same twin screw extruder and cheese seasoning system remain at each end, but oil consumption drops to near zero in the middle. Built for manufacturers targeting health-conscious buyers or export markets where snack oil content is restricted.
Capacity runs from 50 kg/hr to 500 kg/hr. Most buyers entering the baked cheese ball segment start at 100 or 250 kg/hr.
- Hot air roasting system – no frying oil required
- Same cheese puff extruder as the fried line
- Uniform cheese seasoning via flavour drum and slurry system
- Capacity: 50 / 100 / 250 / 500 kg/hr
- PLC-controlled with SS304 food-contact surfaces throughout
Cheese Ball Frying Line – 50 to 500 kg/hr
SS Engineering Works builds a fully automatic cheese balls making machine frying line from 50 kg/hr to 500 kg/hr. The line includes a stainless steel hopper with dedicated PLC display, a flavouring dispenser for accurate cheese powder and spice dosing, and a conveyor oil filter that continuously removes starch particles from the frying oil – cleaner oil means longer oil life and better product colour all shift long.
Cheese coating goes into the drum in controlled amounts with gentle tumbling action. Overseasoning or rough handling at the flavouring stage is where most puff snack lines produce breakage and powder falloff. Ours does not. Clients include Haldiram, Bikaji, Bikano, and Patanjali.
- Continuous cheese ball fryer with submerger conveyor (SS304)
- Conveyor oil filter – removes starch particles, extends oil life
- Controlled stainless steel hopper with PLC display
- Flavouring dispenser – precise cheese powder and masala dosing
- Zig-zag slurry drum for uniform flavour coating
- De-oiling belt with VFD speed control
- Capacity: 50 / 100 / 250 / 500 kg/hr
- Free installation, operator training, and 1-year mechanical warranty on every line

Cheese Ball Making Machine – Frequently Asked Questions
Questions we receive most often from buyers before ordering a cheese ball making machine from SS Engineering Works.
How does a cheese ball making machine work?
The cheese ball making machine uses a twin screw extruder to gelatinize and expand a cornmeal and cheese blend. The twin screws generate heat and shear through mechanical action – no external heat source is required at the extruder stage. The expanded strand exits through a die and is cut to ball shape by a rotating knife. Ball size is controlled by the die opening and knife speed. The pieces then go to the fryer or hot air roaster before cheese coating is applied.
How are cheese puffs made – full step by step process?
Here is how cheese puffs are made step by step: (1) Cornmeal and cheese blend are mixed to the correct moisture level in the grid mixer. (2) The mix enters the cheese puff making machine twin screw extruder where heat and pressure expand and gelatinize it, then a rotating knife cuts it to ball or puff shape. (3) Shaped pieces go through the incline elevator and rotary siever to remove undersized particles. (4) Pieces enter the continuous fryer or baked roasting system. (5) De-oiling conveyor removes excess oil. (6) Slurry system and flavour drum apply cheese coating uniformly. (7) Finished cheese balls go to the packing station.
How to make cheese puffs – home vs industrial scale?
How to make cheese puffs at home requires an oven and a piping bag – the result is a soft, baked puff. Industrial cheese puff production uses a snack extruder that generates heat through mechanical friction and expands the cornmeal blend under pressure, producing the uniform airy structure and crisp texture that packaged snack consumers expect. The industrial process runs continuously at 50 to 500 kg/hr with consistent shape, density, and coating adhesion that is not achievable at home scale.
What are cheese balls made of in a factory?
What are cheese balls made of in industrial production: the primary ingredient is cornmeal, combined with cheese flavour powder, salt, and sometimes rice flour for texture adjustment. The cheese ball making machine gelatinizes the cornmeal through twin screw extrusion, expands it into a light airy structure, and then a cheese and seasoning coating is applied in the flavour drum after frying or baking. All raw materials processed in our machines are food-grade and contact only SS304 stainless steel surfaces.
What is the cheese ball making machine price in India?
Cheese making machine price in India depends on the output capacity – 50 kg/hr, 100 kg/hr, 250 kg/hr, or 500 kg/hr – and whether you need a fried or baked line. SS Engineering Works gives you a custom quote based on your exact floor layout and production requirement. Call +91 98184 89414 directly. We do not list prices online because every cheese balls making machine is configured to the buyer’s exact specification.
Can the cheese ball machine also make corn puffs and rings?
Yes. The corn extruder machine body is the same for all puff snack formats. You change only the die plate – the swap takes under 30 minutes. The same machine produces cheese balls, corn rings, tube puffs, and elongated shapes depending on the die configuration. This is the most cost-efficient setup for a factory that wants to run multiple puff formats. SS Engineering supplies the correct die plates for every format with your order.
What warranty and after-sales support do you offer?
Every cheese ball making machine order includes free installation and operator training at your factory at no additional charge. Our team commissions the full line, runs trial batches, and trains your operators before handover. Every machine carries a 1-year mechanical warranty on all parts. An Annual Maintenance Contract (AMC) is available after the warranty period. Spare parts are dispatched from our Greater Noida factory with fast turnaround to minimise downtime.
