Corn Milling / Masa Preparation

Whether you create your own masa or out-source, we have a variety of methods to prepare masa ready for extrusion.

Corn Masa Maker System
Masa Maker™
Extruding corn chips into fryer

Extruding / Sheeting

Our corn chip systems include an extruder that provide high volume continuous production and ensures uniformity. The masa mixture is forced through an extrusion die plate or die that forms the desired chip shape. The chip is then cut to a specific length by a rotating blade allowing the chips to fall directly into the frying oil.

The masa mixture may also be sheeted and cut prior to frying to create consistently uniform corn chips.
