The 28D Popped Chips & Rice Cake Machine from Penguin Engineering is an industrial snack production system engineered for large-scale manufacturing of perfectly puffed chips and crispy rice cakes. Built on a rugged stainless steel body, it pairs advanced 28D heating technology with precision pressure control and a fully automated feeding and discharge mechanism.
Every piece leaves the machine with uniform size, shape, and texture — the consistency retail and export buyers expect. The system processes rice, corn, and multigrain blends without oil, additives, or preservatives, making it ideal for businesses that need efficient, hygienic, and repeatable production of healthy snacks with minimal manual effort.
This is our highest-output model: a 20 kW, 440V 3-phase drive delivers 10,000 to 11,000 pieces per hour, fed from a 20L hopper holding 14 kg of rice. It forms 58 × 53 mm triangular chips with adjustable 2 to 10 mm thickness through a titanium-coated mould, all managed from a 7-inch HMI touch screen. For smaller volumes, see our 6D model or the mid-volume 15D system.
