Complete solution for flavor stick production line
The fully automated spicy strip production line integrates raw material mixing, puffing/forming, cooling and cutting, seasoning, and packaging into one system. The entire line can be flexibly configured to meet the taste requirements of different products, accommodating the processing needs for both crispy and chewy spicy snacks—the two mainstream product types.
Through modular design, this production line efficiently connects each functional unit. It achieves fully automated production from raw materials like flour to finished products in individual small packages.
Primary equipment components and functionality
- Dough Mixer: thoroughly blends flour, water, and additives to form a uniform dough, providing raw material for subsequent shaping.
- Forming Machine / Extrusion Molding Machine: by changing molds, it produces spicy strips or flavored snack sticks in various shapes and sizes, enabling diverse product customization.
- Cooling & Cutting Machine: utilizes a multi-layer mesh belt structure to naturally cool and set formed spicy strips. Cuts them into uniform segments, ensuring consistent length and neat appearance.
- Frying Machine (Optional): deep-fries spicy strips to achieve a crispier texture, suitable for producing crispy-style spicy snacks.
- ماكينة التوابل: utilizes a drum or tumbling mechanism to evenly coat the spicy strips with oil, chili powder, and various seasonings, delivering rich flavor.
- Packing Machine: automatically packages finished spicy strips into individual pouches, suitable for retail sales and enhancing product value.
In addition to the core equipment mentioned above, we can also provide the following optional equipment based on process requirements: pasteurization, vibratory draining, air-drying lines, case opening and packing, case sealing, coding, and labeling. This helps customers build a complete and flexible automated production solution for spicy strips.
