Snack Puffing Machine — Puffed Corn Snacks Making Extruder (PH-40B)
Product Overview
The Snack Food Extruder Puffing Machine (Model PH-40B) is a compact extrusion-puffing machine that turns corn and cereal raw materials into light, crispy puffed snacks — popcorn, puffed corn snacks, and puffed cereal products — in a single continuous process. With a rated capacity of 35 kg/h and a compact 240 kg footprint, it is designed for small and medium snack producers, food workshops, and entrepreneurs who want to start or expand a puffed-snack line without the investment and floor space of a full industrial plant. Powered by a 5.5 kW motor and available in 220V or 380V, it is a practical, low-cost entry into the growing market for puffed snacks.
Key Product Features
Extrusion puffing technology that creates light, crispy, high-quality snacks.
The machine works by feeding corn or cereal flour into a heated extrusion chamber where high temperature and pressure cook the material; as it exits through the forming die, the sudden pressure drop makes the product expand instantly into its final puffed form. This produces snacks with the light, airy crunch that consumers expect from premium puffed products, and because every piece is formed through the same die under the same conditions, the shape, size, and texture are consistent batch after batch — a level of uniformity hand-fried or batch methods can never match. The finished puffed corn and cereal snacks come out ready for seasoning, flavoring, and packing.
Steady, continuous production sized for real snack businesses.
At 35 kg/h, the PH-40B runs continuously to produce a steady stream of finished snacks — enough to supply local retail, wholesale, or online-sales demand from a single machine, and easy to scale by adding a second unit as sales grow. One operator can manage the whole process from feeding to collection, which keeps labor costs low; and the 5.5 kW power draw is modest, so the machine is economical to run hour after hour, day after day.
Compact, durable, and simple to operate and clean.
Measuring only 1200 × 1120 × 850 mm and weighing 240 kg, the machine fits into a normal workshop, small food factory, or even a storefront production room without special foundations or civil works. It is built for daily commercial use with food-safe contact parts that are easy to wipe down and keep hygienic, and the straightforward feed-and-collect operation means new staff can learn to run it quickly with minimal training.
Flexible snack range from one machine.
Beyond classic popcorn and puffed corn, the same machine processes other grain and cereal-based recipes, so you can build a small product family — different base ingredients, different seasonings, and different finished forms — from a single investment. Please confirm your target products and shapes with our engineer so the correct feed configuration and forming dies can be supplied with your order.
Application Scenarios
Small and medium snack producers launching a puffed-snack line.
For food companies that want to add puffed snacks to their range — or start a snack business from scratch — the PH-40B is the ideal first machine. Its 35 kg/h output is large enough to supply local shops, markets, wholesalers, and e-commerce channels with a continuous product, yet small enough that the capital cost, floor space, and power requirement stay within reach of a growing business. Starting with plain puffed corn or popcorn, a producer can quickly add flavors and pack branded bags to build a retail line.
Corn and grain processors adding value to raw material.
For farms, grain mills, and corn processors that currently sell raw corn or corn flour at commodity prices, puffing is one of the fastest ways to add value on site. The same raw material, puffed and packaged, sells at a multiple of the bulk price — and the PH-40B lets a farm or cooperative run its own puffed-corn and popcorn production without a large factory investment, turning seasonal grain into a year-round product line.
Cafés, convenience stores, and food-service suppliers with fresh-snack counters.
Freshly puffed snacks are a proven crowd-pleaser at movie theatres, amusement venues, cafés, supermarkets, and convenience stores. The compact PH-40B fits behind or beside a counter, producing popcorn and puffed corn continuously for fresh, warm sales with a high margin per gram — and for catering or food-service suppliers, it provides an in-house source of puffed snacks for platters, party packs, and retail repacking without depending on third-party suppliers.
