Shred Master™ Systems

Shredding rolls form cooked grain into distinctive, multi-layered shredded or stranded snacks. Many of these products contain a single ingredient making them attractive to consumers concerned about a healthy diet. Shredding is an excellent technique to widen the appeal, interest and variety of a snack range.

Broad product choice

A range of crunchy snack textures can be achieved using both single- and multi-grain recipes, allowing these products to appeal to both traditional and health-conscious snack consumers. Products are usually based on corn, wheat, bran or rice. The grains are processed without the need for additional ingredients, giving them impeccable health credentials and enabling their natural taste to be enhanced by a wide range of flavours and seasoning. Fruit filled products are possible.

Efficient production

Cooked grains are formed into very thin sheets by passing them between pairs of contra-rotating shredding rolls. Several pairs of rolls are used in series to lay webs on top of one another forming a multi-layered sheet. Up to 20 layers can be combined, and the addition of fillings between layers is possible. For stranded products the strands are cut to length before drying. For shredded products the finished sheet is crimped and cut to length. The product is then toasted.
