Kurkure Processing Line / Extruded Snack Kurkure Roasting line for uniform texture, uniform roasting and to develop superior flavor in extruded corn based snacks. These lines provide more productivity and hygienic operation with flexible production capacities. Developed by advanced roasting, seasoning and continuous processing technology, our lines are ideally suited for modern production units.
The Kurkure Roasting Line replaces batch and manual roasting methods with a fully controlled automated process and consistent quality, achieving greater productivity with improved quality and consistency. It is suitable for established snack brands or for manufacturers entering the market for extruded snacks for the first time.
Kurkure is an extruded snack food made from a mixture of cornmeal and other cereals. The extrudate becomes crispy upon exposure to heat as the temperature causes them to melt. Customary processes result in uneven roasting and absorption of excessive oil and flavors.
Extruded Snack Kurkure Roasting Line is a continuous process solution for the roasting, moisture control, seasoning and cooling of extruded snacks. Temperature control and heat circulation systems ensure that throughout the entire roasting line, there is uniform temperature and heat distribution, resulting in consistent expansion, texture and seasoning of the extruded snacks.
Automation reduces the labor requirement, and offers increased hygiene, homogeneity, predictability, and shelf life.
All components in our Kurkure Processing Line are designed for top performance and product quality.
The line also uses a continuous roasting machine for extruded snacks; this means that the snacks are continuously roasted rather than being placed in a machine to be roasted in batches.
This roasting system leaves Kurkure snacks crispy, light and evenly roasted without being overdone or incompletely roasted.
After roasting, the extruded snacks are passed through a seasoning and flavoring drum and spices, powders and liquid seasonings are added evenly.
These include customary masalas, cheese, tomato, peri-peri, and a range of fusion flavors, which allow manufacturers to produce a diverse range of Kurkure snacks.
Kurkure Roasting Line is created with food-grade stainless steel and industrial grade components ensuring the line lasts longer, is hygienic and safe.
All food contact parts are designed to meet the hygiene specs of a commercial snack-making environment.
To increase efficiency and reduce operator errors, the Kurkure Processing Line can be purchased either as a semi-automatic or fully automatic configuration.

Reading through the process of the Extruded Snack / Kurkure Roasting Line shows a reliable process of operation.
The freshly extruded Kurkure snacks are fed into the roasting system via controlled conveyors where they are not deformed or broken.
The extrudates are passed through a continuous roaster chamber, where the temperature is adjusted to achieve optimal moisture reduction or expansion. Hot air is circulated through the chamber so that the snack is evenly roasted without oil.
The snacks are then fed into the flavoring drum, where seasoning spray is inserted as the drum turns, being monitored for flavor and consistency.
It is then cooled in cooling conveyors to get the right texture and flavor. The line can be integrated with packaging machines to make an end to end Kurkure line.
These machines are used for medium to large scale manufacture of extruded snack foods.
All batches are cooked to a fixed temperature and seasoned uniformly, such that all are identical in flavor, texture and appearance.
Roasting is optimized for expansion, crispiness, and taste, creating a Kurkure snack of premium quality.
Continuous roasting technology helps save on fuel while maximizing output: the result is operating cost savings.
Automation reduces labour costs, processing errors, and scrap.
Such versatility allows manufacturers to develop and offer many products to meet changing user demands.
In keeping with the general philosophy of Roastmaster for food and snack processing machines, Kurkure Roasting Line was developed from manufacturing experience and practical solution from a long track record of supplying reliable, energy-efficient and long lasting machines.
Our machines are built to handle demanding production conditions while maintaining the quality of your product.
