Core filling puffy snacks production line: manufacturing process from raw materials to finished products

In the world of snacks, there is a kind of delicious food that brings a "crunchy" pleasure and hides a surprisingly dense filling - it is the core filling puffy snacks.

 

From a hot-selling item in Japanese convenience stores to a hot item in the live broadcast rooms of Chinese Internet celebrities, this small snack with a crispy outer layer and a smooth inner layer is sweeping the global market with its amazing creativity.

 

What are core filling puffy snacks?

 

Core filling puffy snacks are a kind of snack with puffed rice products (such as rice cakes and rice balls) as the shell and cream, chocolate, jam and other fillings inside. It combines the crispy taste of rice with the sweet flavor of the filling. It has the lightness of puffed food and the rich layers of sandwich biscuits, and is deeply loved by children and young people.

Main features

1. Shell material:

(1) The main raw material is rice, glutinous rice or grain flour, which is formed into a loose and porous structure through extrusion and puffing process, and has a light and crispy taste.

(2) Starch and seasonings (such as salt and soy sauce powder) may be added to enhance the flavor.

 

2. Filling ingredients:

Common fillings: sweet or salty fillings such as chocolate, cream, jam, cheese, peanut butter, etc.

 

3. Filling state: solid (such as chocolate layer), semi-fluid (such as caramel sauce) or powder (such as milk powder mixture).

 

4. Shape: Mostly small pieces (such as cuboids, spheres), with the core layer located inside the rice cracker or between two rice crackers.

 

 

Typical classification

Type	Representative products	Features
Sweet flavor	Chocolate-filled rice crackers, strawberry-filled	The filling is sweet, and the shell may be coated with sugar
Salty flavor	Soy sauce-filled rice crackers, cheese-filled	The filling is savory and fragrant, and the shell is slightly salty
Complex flavor	Peanut butter + chocolate double-layer filling	Various filling combinations, rich layers

 

Key points of production process

(1) Rice cracker puffing: After rice is crushed and mixed with water, it is puffed by a screw extruder at high temperature and high pressure to form a porous structure.

(2) Filling injection: The filling machine accurately fills the filling into the rice cracker (or sprays it between two rice crackers).

(3) Cooling and shaping: The filling needs to be quickly cooled and solidified to avoid penetrating the rice cracker and causing softening.

Examples of well-known brands

(1) Japan: Kameda Seika (Persimmon-no-Tane Filled Rice Crackers), Meiji (Mushroom Mountain Bamboo Shoots Village Filled Series)

(2) Taiwan: I-Mei Filled Rice Crackers, 77 Milk Rice Crackers

(3) Mainland China: Rice Old Man, some products of Hsu Fuji

 

Differences from similar snacks

(1) vs. sandwich biscuits: The shell is made of flour (harder), while the rice shell of the sandwich rice crackers is more fluffy and fragile.

(2) vs. energy bars: The sandwich rice crackers are small in size and low in weight per piece, suitable for leisure scenes rather than meal replacements.

 

This type of snack is often used as a snack or refreshment for children because of its rich taste and portability. It should be noted that some products have high sugar or salt content, so you can pay attention to the ingredient list when purchasing.

 

Cultural significance

The success of rice crackers reflects the combination of food technology innovation and market demand:

 

Japan: Relying on traditional rice culture, it has become a national snack through industrialization.

 

Other parts of Asia: It has been accepted as a "Japanese snack" and integrated into local flavors (such as durian fillings in Southeast Asia).

 

Today, core filling puffy snacks have become an important category in the global snack food market, and continue to attract consumers through flavor and form innovation.

The function of core filling puffy snacks production line

 

1. Mixer: Mixer makes the raw material adding to water and other chemical additive fully mixed.
2. Screw Conveyor: Screw conveyor can not only convey on the level but also by any angel these materials can be conveyed in the stainless steel roller without leaking, dust pollution; meanwhile it can send the self-mixer to the feeding machine or the conditioner and directly send the discharge hole of the inflating extruder.
3. Twin Screw Extruder: Extruding different shapes by placing different molds. The screw has a self-cleaning function, and there is no need to disassemble the screw for cleaning when the machine is stopped.
4. Corn Filling Machine: After core filling for the finish product.
5. Shaping Machine: It has multiple functions such as traction, conveying, shaping and cutting. It is generally used to cut cylindrical, flat, long tube and other small foods, such as semi-puffed or non-puffed foods such as sandwich rice crackers and rice cakes, or multiple sandwich foods.

What are the advantages of the core filling puffy snacks production line?

1. Continuous operation, efficient production, and greatly increased production capacity

2. Stable product quality and high consistency

3. The twin-screw extruder can not only produce sandwich rice crackers, but also other types of food.

4. Our equipment adopts advanced frequency conversion control technology, which greatly reduces the consumption of electricity and labor.

5. We have well-known partners such as Siemens.

6. Our equipment is made of food-grade stainless steel, carbon steel, etc.

7. The control system of the twin screw extruder has three frequency converters, and the speed of rotary cutting, screw speed and feeding speed can be adjusted. It can save energy, adjust speed, protect, improve process level and quality, and extend the service life of equipment. The power of the motor can be adjusted by converting the power supply frequency, and the motor can be operated at a variable speed.

 

What other products can be made from the core filling puffy snacks production line?

1. The production line can heat and extrude the raw materials and press them into different shapes through molds.

2. It can be widely used in the production of dog food, cat food, fish feed, extruded snacks, corn flakes, breakfast cereals and nutritional powder.

3. However, it should be noted that the bone meal in the raw materials of pet food has a strong smell. If it is processed into extruded food for human consumption after being made into feed, it may produce cross-flavor and affect the taste.
