Product Application
Corn flakes/ breakfast cereals are one kind of crispy food, with the advantages of hard to be steeped broken and strong grain taste. It is the crispy flake which is made from corn meal and the other grains powder.Corn flakes manufactured by twin-screw extruder or single screw extruder through the treatment of flakes of grain, served with milk and marshmallows, were a very popular food among the families.
The breakfast cereal machine includes mixing, extruding, flaking, drying, high temperature baking, flavoring and cooling. It can be eaten like snack and be eaten with milk or coffee as well. By changing moulds and production process, this production line can make different shapes of puffed food. Such as ring, ball, flakes, star, letter etc.

Capacity: 100-150kg/h, 200-250kg/h, 350-400kg/h and so on.
Main Features
1. Breakfast cereal machine has wide raw materials application range.
2. Our breakfast cereal machines’ extruders are twin-screw extruder, there is one couple of screws inside the barrel.
3.The raw material of screws is 38CrMoAl.This material’s hardness and strength performance is excellent, which can bear high temperature and high pressure.
4. Our twin-screw extruder has self-clean function.
Main machine details
Double screw extruder---- the main machine to make snack and corn flake. It is used to extrude and inflate material and then form it into different shapes. According to different screw design rate to full different technology request.
Corn flake press machine
The high speed corn flake press machine is composed of a set of opposite rotation stainless steel rollers, high strength machine frame, hydraulic pressure control system, automatic roller gap adjusting system, roller cooling constant temperature system, transmission system and control system.
Corn flake press machine has very high requirement for the rollers technology. First, it has very strict requirement to the surface hardness. If the hardness cannot reach requirement, the surface will have damage after using for a while, losing the smooth finish and affecting the effect of the flakes. We adopt the special technology with the surface hardness above 65 degree, ensuring the rollers have long lifespan. Second, it has strict requirement to the working accuracy. If the working accuracy cannot reach requirement, it will cause the uneven flakes, large vibration, high noise. To avoid these problem, we strictly control in the process and ensure the cylindricity of the rollers into 3μm.
The flake press machine uses the hydraulic pressure control system. It can adjust to the most suitable pressure between the rollers based on the product features and ensure product quality. Roller gap adjusting system can set and adjust the roller gap between 0-2mm.
When the flake press machine is working, the rollers gap may change due to the thermal expansion, which will influence the flake quality. In order to avoid this problem, we set the cooling water tunnel inside of the rollers and equip with high pressure water pump, which is used to compose the circulation water cooling constant temperature control system for the flake press machine, ensuring the rollers are in constant temperature state when flake press machine is working.
Application of the flake press machine
For the double roller high speed flake press machine, we mainly use for the production of the breakfast cereals, especially for the production of the corn flakes, oat flakes and rice flakes. The corn flake press machine has the features of large capacity, stable operation, low noise and small vibration. It can press into uniform and compact thin flakes.
Multilayer oven----it is used to bake the corn flake and remove the moisture to make it with crispy teasts. It can take electricity, gas, diesel, steam as main energy. The length and layers can be designed according to the customers' need.
High temperature inflating machine----it is used to inflate the corn flake secondly with very high temperature. The temperature could be around 70-300℃.
Flavoring system---- it is used to flavor snack food and corn flake with different tastes. It can flavoring snack with different type powder and liquid, for example: sugar, spice, salt, oil, sugar, chocolate, cream and so on. It can be configured flexibly according to different need.
