Multi-shape Salad Snack Maker

Product Overview

This multishape salad snack production line is built for food manufacturers that need flexible, stable and scalable fried snack production. The system adopts a co-rotating twin-screw extrusion process, which completes powder mixing, heating, gelatinization and puffing inside the extruder barrel. By using interchangeable forming dies and cutting units, the line can produce different shapes of salad snacks according to market requirements.

The equipment can be used as a standalone twin-screw extruder or integrated into a full production line. Two core models are available: SLG65III and SLG70II. Both models are designed for industrial food production, with output ranging from 100 kg/h to 250 kg/h. The screw assembly is made of high-strength nitrided alloy steel, which supports long-term stable operation under continuous production conditions.

Raw Material Adaptability

The salad snack machine works efficiently with corn flour, rice flour, wheat flour and various compound grain powder formulas. Raw materials are first fed into the extruder, where they are mixed, heated and gelatinized through the screw rotation and barrel heating zones.

After extrusion, the semi-finished blanks are shaped by interchangeable moulds. These blanks then enter the frying, seasoning and cooling stages to form the final crispy salad snack products. The wide material adaptability allows food factories to develop different product series without changing the main extrusion system.

Core Advantages

1. Twin-Screw Extrusion Stability

The co-rotating twin-screw structure ensures uniform material processing and stable puffing results. This helps reduce quality differences between batches and supports consistent production for commercial snack manufacturing.

2. Wear-Resistant Screw Assembly

The screw components are made of nitrided alloy steel. This material choice improves wear resistance and extends service life, especially under long-hour industrial operation.

3. Quick Die Change for Flexible Production

Different snack shapes can be produced by replacing the forming dies and cutting assemblies. This structure reduces product changeover time and helps factories respond quickly to market demands.

4. Frequency Conversion Control

Both the feeding system and main motor support frequency conversion adjustment. Operators can modify the production speed and material processing status according to recipe requirements and output targets.

5. Independent Barrel Temperature Control

Each heating zone of the extruder barrel can be adjusted separately. This function is valuable for recipe testing, new product development and optimizing the puffing effect of different grain powders.

6. Modular Maintenance Design

The equipment adopts a modular structure, which makes disassembly, cleaning and part replacement more convenient. Reduced maintenance time helps improve overall production efficiency.

7. Reliable Gearbox Operation

The gearbox is equipped with an independent forced lubrication system. This design lowers mechanical loss and supports stable operation during continuous industrial-scale production.

Production Workflow

Raw grain powder → mixing process → transported by screw conveyor → twin‑screw extruder for puffing → multi‑shape forming & cutting station → fryer → flavoring machine → cooling conveyor → packing equipment → finished salad snacks.

Technical Parameters

Finished Product Features

Semi-finished blanks made by this system have uniform gelatinization and stable puffing performance. After frying, seasoning and cooling, the final salad snacks show a crispy texture and good taste consistency.

By changing the forming moulds, manufacturers can produce strip-shaped snacks, chip-shaped snacks and other custom-shaped products. This flexibility is suitable for developing multiple SKUs for retail and wholesale markets.

Pre-Sales and After-Sales Service

We provide customized production solutions based on the actual factory layout and output requirements. Customers can choose a single extruder host or a complete integrated production line according to their project scale.

We also offer technical support for recipe development, machine testing and sample evaluation. Machine test-run videos and finished product samples can be provided for customer inspection before order confirmation.

Each machine undergoes strict quality inspection before shipment. The main extruder host is covered by a one-year warranty. Consumable spare parts are available for long-term production support.
