Commercial automatic and rice cake machine popchips machines can process a wide array of raw materials, either individually or in blends, giving manufacturers flexibility to create diverse products: 

Grains: Rice (especially broken rice or grits), corn grits, wheat, oats, ragi, and jawar.

Starches: Potato flour and potato starches (micropellets).

Pulses: Chickpeas, lentils, peas, and bengal gram. 

These materials are typically moistened to a specific water content (around 15-20%) before being fed into the machine

Penguin Innovative Engineering Pvt Ltd making machine popchip  commercial Popchips machines create snacks by using a unique process of intense heat and pressure to "pop" raw materials like grains or potato pellets, rather than deep-frying them. This method causes the ingredients to rapidly expand into a crispy, chip-like form. 

The Popping Process

The working mechanism of a popchips machine typically involves the following steps:Material Preparation and Feeding: Raw ingredients, such as potato granules, corn grits, or various whole grains (rice, lentils, quinoa), are often first processed into a consistent meal or micropellet form and moistened to a specific water content. This prepared material is then fed from a hopper into the machine's popping chamber using an automatic distribution system.

Heating and Pressurization: Inside the machine's heated mold or chamber, the ingredients are subjected to high temperatures (around 400°F) and immense pressure for a short period. This heat converts the moisture within the raw material into steam.

Expansion (Popping): The core of the process happens when the machine's mold is suddenly opened slightly, causing an immediate drop in pressure. The steam trapped inside the ingredients rapidly expands, forcing the material to puff up or "pop" and take the shape of the mold.
