Snacks Pellet

Listing ID #3639849

Over the last decade the snacks pellet market has grown massively worldwide and Jas enterprise have played a major role in being able to supply equipment incorporating the latest technology in the field of snack pellet processing to meet the exacting standards of our customers around the globe. There are many different raw materials which can be used for pellet production such as; potato, rice, maize, wheat, corn etc. The pellets are divided into two basic categories, those made from grain (rice, maize, wheat, corn) or those made from potato. The latter being the only one to give the authentic potato taste to the finished product. Palletized snacks are produced when the raw material is extruded into a recognizable shape, this can be done using a process known as direct expansion or alternatively using a process known as indirect expansion. The direct expanded pellets are produced in a one step extruder and are ready for consumption following the extrusion process. The indirect expanded pellets are extruded and then generally sold on as a semi-manufactured product to companies who finish the process by frying them in hot oil then dosing them with flavoring or seasoning before packaging. Jas enterprise manufactures complete snack pellet frying lines starting from the bunker belt up to the packaging lines with a capacity range of 100 to 1000 kghour. Depending on the capacity required, the fryers are either electrically heated or indirectly heated through a steamthermal oil heat exchanger.
