Can The Corn Chips Production Line Produce Oatmeal?
Aug 06, 2025| corn chips production line
The twin-screw extrusion corn flakes production line is an efficient and flexible modern cereal food production system. Its core is to use twin-screw extrusion technology to treat corn raw materials at high temperature and high pressure to achieve starch gelatinization, texture reconstruction and molding, and then make crispy corn flakes through subsequent baking, seasoning and other processes.
Applicable Raw Materials
Corn flake production lines can accommodate a wide range of raw materials, including corn flour, rice flour, oat flour, and beans. Some lines can also use sorghum flour and even a combination of multiple raw materials.
Common Process Flow
The process flow for different production lines is generally similar, generally following the steps: raw material preparation → mixing → extrusion → conveying → tableting → drying → packaging.


Raw material mixer
The mixer is used to mix the powdered raw materials and liquid seasonings evenly. The moisture and starch content of the raw materials will directly affect the degree of puffing. Therefore, when selecting raw materials, it is best to choose raw materials with moderate moisture and starch content.

Snack Puffing Machine
Corn puffing machine is the most important machine in the production of puffed food. In the corn puffing cereal machine, the raw material is steamed and shaped at high temperature. Then it will be extruded through the holes of the die. Therefore, different puffed foods can be made by changing different shapes and molds.

Seasoning Machine
In order to obtain a unique taste, a seasoning machine is required for seasoning. The seasoning machine has the characteristics of continuous operation and will not destroy the structure of the puffed food.

Packaging Machine
For storage and transportation, expanded foods need to be packaged. We offer packaging machines that can produce both bag and box packaging formats.
The specific steps are as follows:
1. Mixing: Add nutritional additives and a certain proportion of water to corn flour or corn grits and mix thoroughly using a powder blender.
2. Feeding: Use a feeder to transfer the mixed ingredients to the hopper of the extruder.
Extrusion: The ingredients in the hopper enter the extruder system and are formed into small spherical pellets by the extruder.
3. Dispersion: Use a vibrating screen to disperse the pellets to prevent them from overlapping and being pressed together after entering the tablet press.
4. Conveying and Tableting: Use an air conveyor to convey the pellets to the tablet press, which presses the small spherical pellets into thin flakes, which are corn flakes.
5. Secondary Conveying and Drying: An air conveyor transports the corn flakes to a drying oven. These multi-layer ovens are typically electric ovens, with a temperature control cabinet that adjusts between 0 and 200 degrees Celsius. The ovens are lined with double-layer stainless steel mesh bags, which can be adjusted to the vehicle speed to remove moisture.
6. Packaging: After drying and cooling, the corn flakes are packaged and released for sale.
Scope of application
It is mainly suitable for snack food factories, and can produce various corn flakes products such as instant corn flakes, steamed corn flakes, as well as rice flakes, oat flakes and other similar products.
High degree of automation: Automated control of the entire process, including raw material ratios, puffing parameters, and tableting speed, improves production capacity and consistency.
Wide adaptability: A variety of grains, including corn, wheat, and oats, can be used to meet diverse taste requirements.
Product diversity: Shapes, including flakes, balls, and stars, can be produced, suitable for both ready-to-drink and brewed beverages.
