Fried Snack Extruder
The Fried Snack Extruder is a flexible machine for low pressure extrusion of both baked and fried snack products. As the name implies, the Fried Snack Extruder has been developed to address the specific needs of fried snack production. It has a taller and more open support frame that allows for easy mating with frying equipment and the installation of optional free float sections to discharge cut product into a fryer. The Fried Snack Extruder manages dough flow for optimum consistency from the time it enters the infeed hopper through being cut off at the die face by the high-speed bandcutter.
To produce a variety of different snacks, different die plate assemblies can be easily interchanged. The rate of production and product thickness is controlled through a combination of the auger and bandcutter speed. The high-speed bandcutter is designed to operate in two different modes to provide a wide range of cutting speeds. The bandcutter blade cleanly slices the extruded dough stream at the die face for a consistent, well defined product.
