I. Introduction of Fried Cone Shaped Chips

Cone shape Corn Chips are also known as bugles shape chips. The raw material is yellow cornmeal mixed with vegetable oil.

With this snacks manufacturing machine, the corn dough is extruded through multiple extrusion holes into long strips with striped pattern. Then the extruded strips pass through the triangular forming machine, where every two pieces of strips are combined into one, and cut into conical shape pieces on a roller die. The cones then pass through a batch fryer to be fried by batches. The frying machine is equipped with a vibration or centrifugal de-oiler to reduce the residual oil on the cone foods. Finally, the production is completed through the automatic seasoning and packing processes.

VI. More

Flexibility:

• Twin screw snack extruder machine is suitable for a wide range of grain raw materials. It can be a single grain or a mixture of multiple grains.
• The roller mold of the cone forming machine can be replaced to produce cones of various sizes.

Innovation

• With a little adjustment, this bugles/cone chip manufacturing machine can also produce many other fried extruded foods. For example, if the cone forming machine is replaced by a tringle rolling pressing machine, and with a appropriate extrusion die, fried doritos/triangle corn chips can be produced.
