Puffed Food Frying Line (also known as a Fryum or Pellet Snacks Line) is designed to process 2D/3D pellets (made from corn, potato, or cereal flour) into crunchy, expanded snacks.¹ These products require a very specific "thermal shock" to puff correctly without becoming oily.

As a provider that offers both in-house manufactured components and branded machinery, you can offer a highly competitive and reliable solution.

1. Complete Process Flow

The line is typically divided into three main stages:

Stage A: Pre-Frying (Feeding)

• Vibratory Feeder: Ensures a steady, uniform flow of pellets into the fryer to prevent clumping.
• Hopper & Elevator: Moves raw pellets from storage to the fryer level.

Stage B: The Frying Heart (Continuous Automatic)

• The Continuous Fryer: This is the core machine. It uses a submerging belt to keep the pellets underwater, as they naturally want to float once they puff.
• Frying Time: Very fast (10–40 seconds) at temperatures between 180°C and 195°C.

Stage C: Post-Frying (Seasoning & Cooling)

• De-oiling Conveyor: A vibrating mesh belt that shakes off excess surface oil.
• Flavoring Drum: A rotating drum where oil-based slurry and dry spices are applied.
• Cooling Conveyor: Reduces product temperature to room level before it reaches the packaging machine.

3. Your Business Value: "The Hybrid Model"

Since you manufacture some machines and source others from brands, here is how you can present this specific line to your clients:

• In-House Manufactured: You can build the Vibratory Feeders, De-oiling Conveyors, and Seasoning Drums. This allows you to customize dimensions and reduce the total project cost for the client.
• Branded Integration: You can integrate high-end Branded Continuous Fryers or specific components like Burners (Riello/ Benton/Eco-Flaim ) and PLC Controls (Siemens/Delta) to ensure the "critical" parts of the line never fail.

4. Key Advantages of This Line

• Minimal Oil Absorption: High-speed frying creates internal steam pressure that pushes oil away from the pellet.
• Uniform Expansion: The submerging belt ensures that every single "Fryums" expands to its maximum size.
• Low Maintenance: With your in-house builds, you can provide faster spare parts and service for the conveyors and seasoning systems.
