At Shandong Light M&E Co., Ltd, we are excited to share the successful test run of our ETT98 Pellet Snacks Process Line, a versatile solution for producing a wide variety of snack pellets. This advanced production line is designed to deliver high-quality pellet snacks, a popular product in the snack food market. Featuring flexibility and precision, the ETT98 line supports a variety of raw materials and snack types.
What Are Pellet Snacks?
Pellet snacks are made through an extruder manufacturing process, using a range of raw materials such as potato starch, potato flour, corn starch, corn powder, wheat flour, and cassava starch. After mixing, extruding, shaping, and drying, the pellets expand several times when fried, resulting in a light, crispy texture. Seasoning powder can be applied for added flavor, making the snacks irresistible.
Test Run Highlights
For this test run, we used potato starch and potato flour as the main raw materials. During the trial, we successfully produced a variety of pellet snack shapes, including round tube pellets, square tube pellets, and onion ring snacks. The ETT98-28D twin-screw extruder performed flawlessly, ensuring a consistent production output while maintaining excellent product quality. This successful test further validates the ETT98 line's capability to handle large-scale production demands with minimal downtime.
