Corn Maize Puffing Machine

 Inside, a screw turns and squeezes the material. As it moves down the barrel, friction builds heat and pressure. The temperature climbs, and the starch gelatinizes. When the mix hits the die, the pressure drops all at once. Moisture inside flashes into steam and expands, leaving a porous, crispy puff. A cutter then slices it into shape.

 Corn is just one option. You can also run rice, millet, sorghum, black rice-pretty much any grain. Use one grain on its own, or mix a few together.

 Swap the mold and you get a different shape: hollow rice sticks, rings, plum blossoms, crescents, cylindrical pellets, puffed cubes. They come out light and porous with a crispy bite. These are grain-based snacks, not fried, and you can add seasoning afterward.

A full corn puff line is four machines hooked up in a row: a grinder, an extruder, a seasoning machine, and a packaging machine. Feed in corn or other grains, and they run through grinding, puffing, seasoning, and packing without stopping. What comes out are crispy grain snacks-hollow sticks, rings, plum blossom shapes, and more.
