Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of extruders, and in particular to a novel heated extruder. Background Technology

[0002] A heated puffing machine is a food processing device that expands the volume of materials through high temperature and high pressure. It is widely used in the production of puffed foods from grains, potatoes, beans, and other raw materials. Its working principle involves feeding the raw material into the puffing chamber. Under high temperature conditions, the moisture in the material rapidly vaporizes, leading to starch gelatinization and protein denaturation. When the material is suddenly released to normal pressure through the die, the internal vapor expands instantaneously, forming a loose, porous structure. This equipment boasts advantages such as high production efficiency, excellent puffing effect, and crispy product texture. It can produce a variety of products including puffed snacks, breakfast cereals, and pet food. The degree of puffing and the shape of the product can be controlled by adjusting the temperature, pressure, and die shape.

[0003] Currently, mainstream molding equipment is mainly divided into two categories: hydraulic presses and single-die machines. However, both types of equipment have significant technical defects that restrict the improvement of production efficiency and economic benefits. Although hydraulic presses have the advantages of stable pressure and high molding precision, their mechanical structure is extremely complex. They require a precision hydraulic system, multiple sets of oil cylinders, and a complex control system. This not only leads to high equipment manufacturing costs but also brings a heavy maintenance burden.

[0004] Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a novel heating puffing machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a novel heating and puffing machine. Through a first and second cam in conjunction with a linkage mechanism, the upper and lower feed plates are driven to perform different actions, achieving automatic feeding, conveying, and pushing functions. The first and second cams, as well as the third and fourth cams, can also enable the middle and lower templates to cooperate with the first and second connecting rods to achieve an automatic clamping function, preparing for heating and puffing. The die head can be heated, which can clamp and heat the raw material, causing it to puff and separate. After the upper and lower feed plates push out the finished product, it enters the next cycle. The structure is simple and ingenious.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
