This is a project about a puffed grain production machine in Canada. The client had previously used small-capacity puffing units and traditional roasting systems. However, these older machines could not consistently meet the increasing production demands and struggled with processing high-moisture grains like corn and soy. They often produced uneven puffed products, leading to wasted raw material and inconsistent quality.

This is a project about a puffed grain production machine in Canada. Canada is one of the largest grain-producing countries in the world, with abundant supplies of corn, wheat, oats, and barley. Alongside traditional agricultural outputs, there is a growing market for extruded grains, including puffed cereals for human consumption, pre-cooked grains for animal feed, and specialty snack bases. To stay competitive and meet this demand, a Canadian feed and food ingredient producer decided to invest in a puffed grain production machine.
The client had previously used small-capacity puffing units and traditional roasting systems. However, these older machines could not consistently meet the increasing production demands and struggled with processing high-moisture grains like corn and soy. They often produced uneven puffed products, leading to wasted raw material and inconsistent quality.
After careful evaluation, the client purchased a standalone RCYP160G wet-type puffed grain production machine. Choosing a single-machine solution allowed them to upgrade specific production lines without replacing their entire setup, maintaining ongoing operations while expanding capabilities. The decision reflects a strategic approach to gradually improve product quality and diversify offerings.
Name:
grain expansion machine
Country:
Canada
Date:
2025
Capacity:
1.1-2.9 T/H
Model:
RCYP160G
Main Motor Power:
110 kW
Conditioner Power:
7.5 kW
Conditioner Specification:
DC420-3000
The client is primarily a specialty feed and snack ingredient producer serving:
The motivation for purchasing a standalone puffed grain production machine included:
This purchase represents a strategic upgrade, allowing the client to experiment with new formulations while maintaining regular production schedules.
Canada’s abundant grain supply supports this project:
For this project, the client mainly processes corn and wheat for feed ingredients and snack bases. Occasionally, they blend in soy protein to produce high-protein extruded snacks. The chosen puffed grain production machine in Canada, RCYP160G, fits these requirements with a balanced capacity for medium-scale operations.
| Main Motor Power | Screw Diameter | Feeder Power |
|---|---|---|
| 110 kW | 160 mm | 1.5 kW |
| Feeder Specification | Conditioner Power | Conditioner Specification |
|---|---|---|
| WLQ219-1200 | 7.5 kW | DC420-3000 |
| Soybean Output | Corn Output | |
|---|---|---|
| 2.0–2.9 T/H | 1.1–1.4 T/H |
This configuration is ideal for medium-scale feed and cereal production, allowing continuous operation while maintaining consistent product quality.
The puffed grain production machine in Canada produces pre-cooked, puffed grains, used for:
The puffing process gelatinizes starch, sterilizes grains, and removes anti-nutritional factors, improving feed efficiency and digestibility. For Canadian feed producers, this leads to better growth performance, healthier animals, and reduced feed wastage.
Puffed wheat and corn form the base for breakfast cereals and extruded snacks. The RCYP160G ensures:
This enables the client to expand their snack product line and meet consumer demand for healthy, ready-to-eat cereals.
By processing soy protein and other legumes, the machine allows the production of:
The multi-material capability of the puffed grain production machine in Canada ensures the client can experiment with diverse raw materials without needing additional equipment.
The RCYP160G was shipped via sea freight, arriving at the Port of Montreal, Canada. The shipment included:
Montreal’s port infrastructure ensures efficient customs clearance and transport to the client’s production facility.
The puffed grain production machine offers several advantages:
These features make it a highly versatile solution for Canadian feed and food producers, combining durability with reliable performance.
RICHI provided complete support during installation:
The client highlighted RICHI engineers’ professionalism and practical guidance, ensuring immediate operational readiness.
After six months of operation, the client reported:
One production manager commented: “The RCYP160G puffed grain production machine has truly transformed our processing. RICHI’s team was highly responsive, from installation to training. The machine runs smoothly, and our feed and snack products are of consistently higher quality.”
Encouraged by these results, the client plans to consider additional machines to increase production and explore more high-value extruded products.
The puffed grain production machine in Canada showcases the benefits of:
Even as a single-machine investment, the project demonstrates how a high-capacity puffed grain production machine can improve product quality, expand capabilities, and enhance operational efficiency. Canadian feed and food producers looking for a flexible, durable, and professional solution will find RICHI Machinery’s equipment a reliable and strategic choice.
