The 6D Popped Chips & Rice Cake Machine from Penguin Engineering is a high-performance Smart-Pop unit that produces crisp popped chips and rice cakes with speed and consistency. It combines a durable stainless steel body, a precision grain hopper, advanced 6D heating and pressing technology, and an automatic discharge system that keeps production running with minimal manual effort.
The machine works on natural ingredients alone — rice, corn, or multigrain blends — with no oil, additives, or preservatives. Controlled heat and pressure deliver uniform shape, even puffing, and consistent texture in seconds, giving you market-ready, low-fat snacks straight off the discharge tray.
Running on a 440V 3-phase supply at 9 kW, the 6D delivers 5,000 to 5,500 pieces per hour from a 14L hopper that holds 11 kg of rice. A 7-inch HMI touch display handles temperature and cycle settings, while the titanium-coated mould supports a dual output option: 50 × 53 mm triangular chips or 40 mm round rice cakes, both with adjustable 2 to 10 mm thickness. This makes it the ideal entry point for startups and growing snack brands that need factory-grade output without a factory-scale footprint.
