PUFFED SNACKS LINE

Puffed Snacks Processing Line Manufacturer in India

SS Engineering Works manufactures puffed snacks processing lines in Noida. We have been supplying these machines since 2011 to snack producers ranging from small regional units to large FMCG manufacturers including Haldiram, Bikaji and Patanjali. Our puffed snacks lines run from 50 kg/hr on the smaller end up to 500 kg/hr for full-scale production. If you are starting a new snack unit or adding a puffed snacks line to an existing factory, we build to your actual capacity requirement.

What a Complete Puffed Snacks Line Includes

A standard puffed snacks processing line from SS Engineering Works covers the full production sequence:
  • Single or twin-screw corn puff extruder with die change system
  • Hot air roasting conveyor for texture development
  • Cooling conveyor before seasoning
  • Seasoning drum with controlled coating system
  • Flavour application drum for final coating
  • Incline elevator for product transfer between stages
  • Automatic weighing and filling system (optional)
  • PLC control panel with touchscreen interface
All food-contact parts are SS304 stainless steel. The extruder die system allows quick shape changes so you can run corn puffs, cheese balls, wheat puffs and other shapes on the same line with minimal downtime between changeovers.

Products You Can Make

The line handles a wide range of puffed snack products. Common ones our clients produce:
  • Corn puffs and cheese puffs
  • Wheat and rice puffs

INDIAN PUFFED SNACKS LINE, 100 - 200KG

The puffed snacks processing line handles the full production sequence in one pass — ingredient mixing, extrusion, forming, baking or frying, and seasoning. No manual transfer between stages, no separate machines for each step. One continuous line, one operator managing it.

Raw materials: corn grits, rice flour, millet, soybean flour and blended grain mixes all work. High-temperature extrusion does the puffing — moisture in the grain flashes to steam under pressure and that’s what expands the product. The die shape at the extruder exit determines the finished form — rings, curls, balls, tubes, stars. Swap the die, get a different product.

  • Capacity: 100 to 200 kg/hr — suited to small and mid-scale snack units
  • Handles corn, rice, wheat, millet and mixed grain inputs
  • Inline baking conveyor — hot air roasting, no frying oil needed
  • Seasoning drum for uniform flavour coating
  • Die change system for multiple product shapes on one line
  • SS304 food-contact construction throughout

If you also want a fried puffed snack option on the same floor, see our fryums and pellet frying line — the two can run as separate lines in the same unit.

TWIN SCREW PUFFED EXTRUDER, 100-1000KG

The twin screw puffed extruder gives you a choice in how you mature the product. Two types, different working principle:

Baking type — hot air is the heating medium. Raw grain goes in, hot air roasting develops the texture. No oil at any stage. This is the more common setup in the Indian market right now, mainly because buyers want lower-fat positioning and the running cost per kg is lower without frying oil to manage.

Fried type — fat is the heating medium. Gives a denser, crunchier finish and the flavour profile most Indian consumers recognise. Works well for cheese puffs, masala puffs and products where the fried texture is part of the eating experience.

  • Twin screw design — handles stickier, higher-moisture formulations that single screw extruders struggle with
  • Capacity: 100 to 1000 kg/hr
  • Baking type and frying type configurations both available
  • Die change system — corn puffs, cheese balls, rings, tubes and custom shapes
  • VFD-controlled screw speed for consistent output at varying raw material moisture
  • PLC panel with touchscreen

Runs corn grits, rice flour, wheat semolina and blended mixes. For manufacturers also setting up a Kurkure line on the same floor, the extruder stage uses a similar operating principle — see our Kurkure making machine page.

Different shapes of Puff

According to the maturation methods difference, the puffed snack production line can be divided into a baking-type snack pellet production line and a fried-type snack food processing plant.
