What Our Corn Puff Making Machine Includes
A complete corn puff making machine line handles every production stage – from preparing raw cornmeal to applying the final flavour coating. Every SS Engineering corn puff line comes with the following as standard:
- Grid mixer – cornmeal and maize blend preparation with precise moisture control
- Puff extruder machine – twin screw extruder with puff die for consistent corn puff shape and expansion
- 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 coating on every single piece
- Flavour drum – final masala and seasoning 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. Operators benefit from reduced batch variation and faster changeover times from the very first week of production.
Capacity Options
We manufacture corn puff making machine lines across four standard capacity ranges:
| Capacity | Best For |
|---|---|
| 50 kg/hr | Small and medium snack manufacturers starting corn puff 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 corn 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 Corn Puff Lines
We manufacture both types. Here is what separates them:
Fried Corn Puff Line
Uses a continuous fryer with submerger conveyor. Delivers the classic light, airy, crispy corn puff texture consumers expect from mainstream snack brands. Suited to manufacturers selling in namkeen, extruded snacks, and impulse purchase segments.
Baked Corn Puff 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 snack oil content is restricted.
Both lines use the same corn puff making machine extruder, seasoning system, and flavour drum. Only the cooking stage differs. We will walk you through both options before you commit to an order.
Machines We Manufacture
Automatic Puff Making Machine – Twin Screw Extruder
The automatic puff making machine runs on a twin screw corn puff extruder with interchangeable puff dies. The twin screw configuration generates the shear and heat needed to expand cornmeal and maize blends uniformly – producing the light, airy cellular structure that defines a quality corn puff. Unlike single screw extruders, the twin screw design handles a wider range of moisture levels and ingredient formulations without jamming or uneven expansion.
Change the die plate and the same puff making machine produces cheese balls, corn rings, or tube-shaped snacks – no separate machine needed for each format. Die change takes under 30 minutes. One extruder body, one set of die plates, all formats.
- Twin screw extruder – uniform expansion across cornmeal and maize blends
- Interchangeable die plates – corn puffs, cheese balls, and corn rings from one machine
- Adjustable screw speed and temperature zones for precise texture and expansion control
- Compatible with cornmeal, maize meal, rice meal, and mixed grain formulations
- No external heat source dependency – mechanical friction and barrel heat drives gelatinization
- Pairs with our kurkure, niknaks, cheese ball, and corn ring lines for complete multi-format production floors
Maize Puff Making Machine – Same Line, Different Raw Material
The same maize puff making machine line runs on maize meal instead of cornmeal with no changes to the extruder body or die. Manufacturers who source maize meal locally in Maharashtra, Punjab, or Rajasthan use this configuration to reduce raw material cost without sacrificing product quality. Output rates and texture characteristics remain identical across both cornmeal and maize meal formulations on our twin screw line.
- Runs cornmeal and maize meal without machine or die change
- 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
Corn Puff Baked Line – 50 to 500 kg/hr
The automatic puff making machine baked line skips the fryer entirely. Hot air roasting handles the cooking stage. The same twin screw extruder and 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 corn puff segment start at 100 or 250 kg/hr.
- Hot air roasting system – no frying oil required
- Same corn puff extruder as the fried line
- Uniform seasoning via flavour drum and slurry system
- Capacity: 50 / 100 / 250 / 500 kg/hr
- PLC-controlled with SS304 food-contact surfaces throughout
Corn Puff Frying Line – 50 to 500 kg/hr
SS Engineering Works builds a fully automatic puff snacks 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 masala 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.
Seasoning 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 corn puff fryer with submerger conveyor (SS304)
- Conveyor oil filter – removes starch particles, extends oil life
- Controlled stainless steel hopper with PLC display
- Flavouring dispenser – precise masala and spice 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

Corn Puff Making Machine – Frequently Asked Questions
Questions we receive most often from buyers before ordering a corn puff making machine from SS Engineering Works.
How does a corn puff making machine work?
The corn puff making machine uses a twin screw extruder to gelatinize and expand a cornmeal or maize blend. The twin screws generate heat and shear through mechanical action – no external heat source is required at the extruder stage. The expanded blend exits through a puff die and is cut to size by a rotating knife. Puff length and diameter are controlled by the die opening and knife speed. Pieces then go to the fryer or hot air roaster before flavour coating is applied.
How are corn puffs made – full step by step process?
Here is how corn puffs are made in a factory: (1) Cornmeal is mixed with water in the grid mixer to reach the correct moisture level. (2) The moistened meal enters the corn puff making machine twin screw extruder where heat and pressure expand and gelatinize it, then a rotating knife cuts it to 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 masala coating uniformly. (7) Finished corn puffs go to the packing station.
How is puffed corn made at industrial scale?
How is puffed corn made industrially: raw cornmeal is moisture-conditioned in the grid mixer, then fed into the puff extruder machine where twin screws generate heat and pressure through mechanical action. The starch gelatinizes under pressure and expands instantly as it exits the die – this is what creates the puffed, airy structure. The process runs continuously at 50 to 500 kg/hr with consistent expansion, shape, and coating adhesion that is not achievable at home scale.
How to make corn puffs – home vs industrial production?
How to make corn puffs at home requires a piping bag and an oven – the result is a dense, baked puff with limited expansion. Industrial corn puff production uses a corn puff extruder that generates heat through mechanical friction and expands the cornmeal blend under pressure, producing the uniform airy structure and crispy texture that packaged snack consumers expect. Industrial output runs continuously at 50 to 500 kg/hr with consistent quality across every batch.
What is the corn puff making machine price in India?
Corn puff making machine price in India depends on 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 provides 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 puff making machine is configured to the buyer’s exact specification.
What is the difference between corn puff and maize puff machines?
The maize puff making machine and corn puff making machine are the same piece of equipment. Corn and maize are the same grain – the difference is regional naming only. Both cornmeal and maize meal run on the same twin screw extruder without any changes to the machine body, die, or PLC settings. Buyers in Maharashtra and Punjab typically call it a maize puff machine; buyers in Delhi and Rajasthan typically call it a corn puff machine.
