Popcorn crackers are a popular snack food, enjoying a wide variety of flavors and enjoying a crunchy texture. Made primarily from grains, they are puffed through high-temperature, high-pressure processing.
Intelligent industrial production lines ensure product quality while significantly improving production efficiency.

Raw Material Preparation and Mixing
The first step in making popcorn crackers is preparing and mixing the raw materials. The main raw materials include raw grains such as rice, corn grits, and brown rice, along with an appropriate amount of water and other seasonings.
During the mixing stage, seasonings such as sugar, salt, or other flavorings are added in varying proportions based on the desired flavor. These ingredients must be mixed in precise proportions to ensure the final product meets standard taste and flavor.

Mixing
The mixed raw materials are placed in a powder mixer, followed by a desired amount of water. Mix thoroughly and allow to settle. This step is crucial for ensuring the final product's texture.
The purpose of mixing is to evenly combine all the raw materials and water, ensuring that each portion has the same moisture content and composition. Uniform mixing ensures uniform heating and puffing of the raw materials during the subsequent extrusion and puffing process.

Extrusion and Puffing
Extrusion and puffing is a core step in popcorn production, determining the product's basic structure and texture. In the popcorn machine, the raw materials undergo physical and chemical changes under high temperature and pressure.
Shandong Loyal Industrial Co., Ltd. offers a variety of popcorn machines, ranging from 10 kg/h to 100 kg/h, to meet the needs of manufacturers of varying sizes.

Drying and Seasoning
After forming, the popcorn products require drying to reduce moisture and extend their shelf life. This drying process is typically performed in an oven, where temperature and time are controlled to achieve the desired moisture content.
After drying, the popcorn enters the seasoning process. The production line is equipped with seasoning equipment, such as octagonal drums, single-drum, or double-drum seasoning lines, configured according to production volume and product characteristics. During the seasoning process, seasonings are evenly sprayed onto the surface of the popcorn, imparting a rich texture and flavor. Manufacturers can produce a variety of flavors based on market demand, such as cream, chocolate, and barbecue.
