Why the Trial Run Matters More Than the Nameplate Capacity
A capacity figure on a spec sheet means nothing if the line was never tested on the formulation you actually plan to run.
Many buyers discover only after installation that a fortified rice extrusion production line quoted at a certain throughput cannot sustain that rate once their specific blend of broken rice, purple sweet potato, and micronutrient premix enters the barrel. The gelatinisation temperature shifts, the die pressure changes, and the output drops. That gap between nameplate promise and shop-floor reality is the single largest source of commissioning delays in starch-based extrusion projects [NEED_CITE: common causes of extrusion line commissioning delays].
Feeding Stability and Screw Configuration for Starch-Rich Blends
The selectable single or double screw feeding system allows operators to match the feeder to the flow characteristics of their raw material. Fine rice flour and sticky sweet potato powder behave very differently in a hopper; one may flood-feed while the other bridges. Choosing the correct feeder prevents surging that would otherwise disrupt the twin-screw extrusion process and produce inconsistent kernel density.
Drying Profile Control Across the Full Line
The circulation drying oven uses a frequency-controlled mesh belt to adjust residence time, while the heating source is configurable between electric and gas. For a fortified rice extrusion production line, low-temperature drying followed by high-temperature roasting sets the final moisture content and surface texture of each kernel. This two-stage approach prevents case-hardening on the outside while leaving the centre under-dried, a defect that causes cracking during storage [NEED_CITE: drying defects in extruded rice kernels].
What the Power and Dimension Figures Mean for Your Floor Plan
Installed power ranges from 85 kW on the MT65 to 260 kW on the MT95, with actual consumption running roughly 70–75 % of installed capacity due to the automatic lubricating and cooling system cycling intermittently. Line length stretches from 28 m to 36 m, and the larger models (MT85, MT75, MT95) require a ceiling clearance of at least 4.3 m. Before ordering, confirm that your workshop’s main bus bar can carry the peak draw and that overhead crane height allows maintenance access to the extruder barrel.
The Cost of Skipping the Configuration Step
When a line is assembled from generic station sizes rather than matched to a specific rice-starch formulation, the extruder may reach its target throughput while the dryer falls behind, forcing the operator to slow the entire line down. Wear parts such as screws and dies wear unevenly if the material abrasiveness was not factored into the configuration, leading to unplanned shutdowns within the first production campaign [NEED_CITE: wear patterns in twin-screw extrusion of mineral-fortified starch]. These issues compound into lost production days that no nameplate rating can predict.
Why Procurement Here Reduces Integration Risk
Complete lines from batching to packing are supplied under one responsibility, so throughput is matched across every station rather than assembled from separate vendors. Screw configuration and die design are specified to the buyer’s raw material and target product shape, not copied from a generic build. An in-house testing workshop runs the customer’s actual formulation before shipment, locking in process parameters. Twin-screw expertise spans pet food, aquatic feed, snacks, cereals, starch, and protein applications, meaning the engineering team has seen a wide range of starch gelatinisation behaviours. Pre-sales consultation covers line layout, utility planning, and on-site commissioning through to operator training.

Before You Send the Inquiry
Share your primary raw material blend, including the percentage of broken rice, starch, and any minor ingredients like purple sweet potato or mineral premix. Provide your target daily output in finished kilograms, your workshop length and ceiling height, and the local voltage and frequency standard. If you have existing upstream milling or downstream packing equipment, list those units so the line can be designed to integrate rather than duplicate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How is the output capacity of each model verified?
A: Each model’s kg/h figure is a range that depends on raw material formulation, moisture content, and target kernel density. Before quotation, we request your specific blend and run it in the testing workshop to confirm the actual sustainable throughput, then record those parameters in the trial run report.
Q: What voltage and frequency options are available?
A: The control system and drive motors are configured to your local electrical standard before production begins. You will receive an electrical schematic for review and approval, covering voltage, frequency, and control language, so the line is ready for connection on arrival.
Q: How do I choose between the MT65, MT70, MT75, MT85, and MT95?
A: Selection depends on your target output and the physical constraints of your facility. We map your required throughput against the verified capacity of each model on your specific raw material, then cross-check that the line length and ceiling height fit your workshop before recommending a configuration.
Q: Can the line layout be customised to my factory footprint?
A: Yes. A detailed line layout and capacity calculation document is prepared during the proposal stage, showing every station’s position, utility connection points, and operator walkways. The layout is adjusted to your building dimensions before the order is finalised.
Q: What does after-sale support include once the line is running?
A: Support covers on-site installation supervision, commissioning, operator training on the frequency-controlled drives and automatic lubrication system, and a wear parts list for ongoing screw and die replacement. Remote troubleshooting is available for process parameter questions after the initial start-up period.
