Industrial Popcorn Production Lines (80-100 kg/h)
Turn raw kernels into premium packaged snacks with zero manual intervention. Our fully automated continuous production lines are engineered for high-capacity drying, puffing, cooling, and caramel/sugar coating. Perfect for large-scale snack food factories seeking consistent quality and low labor costs.

Feature
⚙️ High Level of Automation :
From raw kernel feeding to the final coated popcorn, the entire line operates continuously with a central control panel. It drastically reduces labor requirements and operating costs.
🔥 Advanced Hot-Air Popping :
Replaces traditional oil popping with a continuous hot-air airflow system. This produces healthier, oil-free mushroom (spherical) or butterfly popcorn with a much higher expansion rate.
🔄 Even Caramel & Flavor Coating:
Features a specialized rotating spray roller and electric oven combination. Sugar and flavors are sprayed evenly onto every single popcorn kernel, then baked to lock in the crunch.
📉 Low Power Consumption :
Engineered with superior heating efficiency and balanced heat circulation systems, ensuring high output (80-100 kg/h) while keeping your factory’s electricity bills manageable.

Popcorn machines in the caramel popcorn production line

The 5-Step Continuous Production Process :
Hot-Air Popcorn Popper : The core unit. Uses an advanced ventilation heating system and precise temperature control to evenly dry and pop the corn using hot air.
Elevator & Conveyor Belts : Two sets of automated elevators transport and lift the popped material seamlessly to the next processing stage, eliminating manual handling.
Cooling & Vibrating Distributor : After popping at high temperatures, the popcorn drops onto a stainless steel vibrating screen. This cools the popcorn rapidly and sifts out unpopped kernels and debris.
Roller & Spraying Machine : The cooled popcorn enters a rotating roller. As it tumbles, a precise pump sprays liquid caramel, chocolate, or flavored sugar evenly onto the surface of every piece.
Electric Drying Oven : The coated popcorn automatically enters the multi-layer oven. This evaporates the water in the sugar/caramel, leaving a hard, crispy, and non-sticky shell ready for packaging.
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. The shape of the popcorn primarily depends on the specific type of corn kernel you purchase and the popping temperature. Our hot-air popper provides the exact high-temperature burst needed to form perfect, large mushroom popcorn, which is ideal for caramel coating.
Absolutely. For complete production lines, we offer comprehensive video guides, wiring diagrams, and can dispatch our engineers to your factory for onsite installation, commissioning, and basic recipe training.
Yes. The electric oven discharges the finished popcorn onto a cooling conveyor. We can customize the height of this discharge point to feed directly into your automatic multi-head weigher and VFFS (Vertical Form Fill Seal) packaging machine.
