What Can the CPLT400 Produce
The CPLT400 is engineered for direct-expanded corn snacks in a wide range of sizes and geometries. By changing the forming die and adjusting the production recipe, manufacturers can develop rings, balls, sticks, curls, tubes, wheels and other market-specific corn puff shapes.
The actual product range depends on the selected raw materials, die design, grain thickness, moisture level and operating parameters. Atlas evaluates the target product before confirming the final line configuration.

How the CPLT400 Production Process Works
- Raw material preparation: Corn-based raw materials are prepared according to the required product recipe.
- Mixing and hydration: The corn blender distributes water and ingredients through the raw material.
- Controlled transfer: A spiral conveyor transfers the prepared mixture to the extruder.
- Extrusion and expansion: The Titan 400 processes the mixture under controlled conditions.
- Cutting and shaping: Interchangeable dies and the cutting system create the selected snack shape and size.
- Transfer to drying: A conveyor or air-transfer system moves the product from the extruder to the oven.
- Drying and moisture removal: The customized oven reduces product moisture using a natural-gas or diesel heating system.
- Oil and seasoning preparation: Oil and flavor ingredients are mixed in the double 400 L preparation system.
- Flavor coating: The flavoring drum distributes the oil and seasoning mixture over the finished corn snacks.
- Packaging connection: The finished product can be transferred to a suitable weighing and industrial packaging system selected for the project.
CPLT400 Line Components
Corn Blender
Mixes and hydrates the corn-based raw material before extrusion to support consistent feeding and processing. The blender has a 400 L capacity.
Spiral Conveyor
Transfers the prepared raw material from the blender to the extruder through a controlled enclosed path.
Titan 400
The central processing machine of the CPLT400. It extrudes, expands and shapes the corn mixture at a nominal line capacity of 300–400 kg/h. Interchangeable forming dies support more than 50 product shapes.
Conveyor or Air-Transfer System
Transfers freshly extruded snacks from the extruder outlet to the drying oven. The appropriate transfer method is selected according to the product and factory layout.
Customized Drying Oven
The CPLT400 uses a three-layer drying oven. It roasts and dries the extruded corn snacks and reduces residual moisture. The heating system can be configured for natural gas or diesel with a Riello burner.
Flavoring Drum
Applies oil and seasoning uniformly to the surface of the dried corn snacks.
Double Oil and Seasoning Mixer
Prepares the oil and seasoning mixture before spraying. The system includes two tanks with a capacity of 400 L per tank.
Oil Pump
Transfers the prepared oil and seasoning mixture from the mixing tanks to the flavoring drum.
Configuration and Customization Options
Each CPLT400 project is configured around the customer’s target product, required shapes, available factory space, preferred heating system and packaging requirements. Final equipment selection should be confirmed after Atlas reviews the raw material, desired finished product and factory layout.
- Interchangeable dies for different snack shapes
- Product-specific transfer configuration
- Natural-gas or diesel oven heating
- Factory-layout adaptation
- Connection to compatible weighing and packaging equipment
- Electrical configuration according to the installation country
Who Is the CPLT400 Designed For
- Snack manufacturers adding corn puffs to an existing product range
- Investors establishing an industrial extruded-snack factory
- Food manufacturers seeking multiple shapes from one extrusion platform
- Producers requiring a complete line from raw material preparation to seasoning
AISI 304 Stainless Steel Construction
The CPLT400 uses AISI 304 stainless steel for all fabricated structural parts and product-contact parts to support hygiene, durability and cleaning requirements in industrial food production. The final material specification and equipment configuration are documented in the technical proposal prepared for each project.
Advanced Manufacturing and Global Engineering Support
Built with precision. Supported worldwide.
Every Atlas CPLT400 is designed and manufactured using advanced precision-production technologies. Atlas combines modern CNC machining, automated welding systems and specialized engineering expertise to maintain control over critical manufacturing stages—from production planning and component fabrication to installation, commissioning and after-sales support.
Five-Axis CNC Manufacturing
Critical machine components are manufactured using advanced five-axis CNC machining centers operating across the X, Y, Z, A and B axes. This technology enables Atlas to produce complex components with high dimensional accuracy, repeatability and consistent manufacturing quality.
CNC Turning and Milling
Atlas uses modern CNC turning centers and milling machines to manufacture precision mechanical components according to the technical requirements of each production line. In-house machining provides greater control over component quality, tolerances and production consistency.
Automated TIG/Argon Welding
Automated robotic welding systems are used for TIG/argon welding operations where applicable. Controlled welding processes help achieve consistent weld quality, clean finishing and durable stainless-steel assemblies suitable for industrial food-production environments.
Global Engineering and After-Sales Support
Atlas is supported by a multinational team of 10 engineers specializing in production planning, design and manufacturing. The team is ready to travel to customer facilities worldwide to supervise line installation, commissioning and production start-up.
After commissioning, technical issues can be analyzed remotely for faster initial diagnosis, while on-site engineering assistance can be provided when direct inspection is required. This combination helps customers identify problems at their source and maintain reliable line operation.
