ARROW MACHINERY Automatic Puffed Rice Cake Production Line
ARROW MACHINERY supplies an automatic puffed rice cake production line for making light, crisp grain cakes with a clean ingredient list. The rice cake machine can process quinoa, oats, brown rice, black rice, rice, corn and other suitable grains. With the right moisture level and die set, the line produces puffed cakes with a typical diameter of about 4-5 cm.
This solution can be used as a compact rice cake production line or as part of a wider puff production line. Send the grain mix, target shape and required output for a practical recommendation.
As a rice cake machine supplier, ARROW MACHINERY can configure rice cake machines for a compact rice cake production line, or connect the unit with a wider puffing snack production line. A rice pop machine configuration is selected according to grain type, cake thickness, die and target output.
Product Description：
Raw materials: quinoa, oats, brown rice, black rice, rice, corn and other grains suitable for the selected recipe.
Finished products: crisp puffed rice cakes with a light texture and a typical diameter of 4-5 cm. The final size, thickness and shape depend on the selected die and process settings.
Recipe direction: the line can be developed for a simple grain recipe without unnecessary additives, subject to the customer’s formulation and food-safety requirements.
Specification
| Model | Power | Capacity |
| BMH200 | 4.7kW | 5-6kg/h |
| BMP500 | 8kW | 10-15kg/h |
The listed capacities are reference values for the two rice cake machine models. Actual output depends on the grain mix, moisture, die, cake thickness and operating cycle.
Flow Chart
Conveying→Silo Storage→Conveying→Mixing→Popping→Sifting→Drying→Chocolate Enrobing/Seasoning→Tunnel Freezing
1. Conveying: Vacuum or pneumatic bucket elevators automatically transport whole grains or grain mixes from the receiving area to storage units without grain breakage.
2. Silo Storage: Buffer storage silos maintain a steady supply of raw grains to balance feeding rates and support continuous, uninterrupted factory operation.
3. Conveying: Secondary conveying units transfer raw grains from the storage silos to the mixing and conditioning station.
4. Mixing: High-precision mixers evenly add micro-amounts of water or recipe additives to condition the grain mix to the target moisture level required for popping.
5. Popping: The conditioned grain mix is automatically dosed into the heated mold cavities of the rice cake popping machine, where instant high-temperature and hydraulic pressure pop and form the grain cake.
6. Sifting: Extruded rice cakes pass through a rotary vibrating sifter to remove loose grain kernels, broken fragments, and dust, ensuring a clean product surface.
7. Drying: Multi-pass air drying tunnels remove residual surface moisture, locking in optimal crispness and preparing the cakes for liquid coating or seasoning.
8. Chocolate Enrobing / Seasoning: Depending on the target product line, cakes are coated with rich chocolate syrup via an enrobing machine (top/bottom/full coat) or dusted with flavor powders (cheese, BBQ, sea salt) in a rotary drum.
9. Tunnel Freezing: Coated rice cakes pass through a multi-zone refrigeration cooling tunnel (tunnel freezing) to rapidly solidify the chocolate layer or flavor coating, preparing them for non-stick, high-speed automated packaging.
Machine Operation
1. Prepare the grain mix and add a small amount of water to reach the required moisture level.
2. Load the moistened mix into the hopper.
3. Wait until the moulds reach the selected production temperature.
4. Start the automatic cycle. The machine forms the puffed rice cakes according to the selected mould and process settings.
Product Features
1. The product production method is unique, the products produced are unique, and the consumer market potential is huge.
2. The raw materials can be arbitrarily selected for grain grains. The raw materials can be visible. The product can really be pure naturally without adding.
3. Simple equipment operation, integration of process .
4.There are different standard die sets available for the puffed cake machines, but we also offer the possibility to customize your die set on demand.Different shapes of rice cakes can be produced by changing different molds, and the thickness can be adjusted according to needs.The model is for reference only.
FAQ
Q: What grains can the rice cake production line process?
A: The current page lists quinoa, oats, brown rice, black rice, rice and corn. Other grains can be reviewed after checking the recipe, moisture and desired cake texture.
Q: What products can this rice cake machine make?
A: It can make crisp puffed rice cakes in different shapes and thicknesses. The typical product diameter shown on the page is about 4-5 cm, while the final result depends on the selected mould and settings.
Q: How are rice cakes made on this rice cakes machine?
A: The rice cakes machine moistens the selected grain mix, feeds it into the mould, puffs and forms the cake, then sends it through sieving, drying, seasoning and cooling.
Q: What is the capacity of the rice cake machines?
A: The current reference models are BMH200 at 5-6 kg/h and BMP500 at 10-15 kg/h. Actual output depends on grain mix, moisture, die, thickness and operating cycle.
Q: Can the mould or shape be customized?
A: Yes. Standard die sets are available, and custom moulds can be discussed for different rice cake shapes and thicknesses.
Q: Is this a rice pop machine or a complete line?
A: The main unit is a puffed rice cake machine. Feeding, storage, mixing, sieving, drying, seasoning and tunnel cooling can be arranged around it to form a complete rice cake production line.
Q: Can the unit be used in a puffing snack production line?
A: Yes. The rice cake machine can be integrated into a puffing snack production line or grain puff production line with feeding, storage, drying, seasoning and cooling sections matched to the factory workflow.
Q: How do I request a quotation?
A: Send the grain mix, target shape and thickness, expected capacity, seasoning requirement, factory space and electrical standard. ARROW MACHINERY can then recommend the rice cake machine and supporting equipment.
