P320 Small Snack Bar Machine: Scalable Solution for Cereal and Granola Bar Production

In cereal bar and granola bar manufacturing, the transition from manual or semi-auto production to continuous forming is a key step.

The P320 small snack bar machine is positioned between:

• Lab / small extruder equipment
• Full automatic multi-lane production lines

It is designed for manufacturers who need stable output with moderate capacity, without investing in large-scale systems.

The P320 uses slab forming technology instead of single-bar extrusion.

Working logic:

• Mixed raw materials (cereal, nuts, syrup) are prepared
• Material is fed onto conveyor
• Two rollers press the mixture into a continuous slab
• Cross-cutting system divides into bars

This method is more suitable for:

• Crispy rice bars
• Granola bars
• Nut bars
• Muesli bars

Compared with extrusion, slab forming performs better for loose or granular materials.

• Uniform thickness and density
• Suitable for brittle or particulate formulations
• Stable output for long runs

• Adjustable thickness via roller height
• Adjustable bar width and length
• Clean cutting, reduced breakage

• Equipped with cooling fans
• Supports fast stabilization of hot syrup-based products

This is important for products like peanut bars or sesame snaps that require rapid cooling.

• Central control system
• Simple parameter adjustment
• Suitable for continuous production environments

The output level makes it suitable for medium-scale production or OEM manufacturing.

The P320 is designed for mixed and particulate raw materials:

• Puffed rice / crispy rice
• Granola and cereals
• Nuts and seeds
• Dried fruits
• Protein powder blends

Typical products include:

• Cereal bars
• Granola bars
• Nut bars
• Energy bars
• Sesame snaps

Compared with entry-level machines (e.g., P307), the P320 significantly increases throughput.

Slab forming is more stable than extrusion for loose materials.

Designed for long-run production instead of batch forming.

Can be connected to:

• Cooling tunnel
• Chocolate coating system
• Automatic flow packing line

This allows gradual upgrade to a fully automated line.

• Granola bar OEM factories
• Healthy snack manufacturers
• Nut / cereal processing plants
• Mid-scale food production lines

Also suitable as a transition machine before upgrading to multi-lane systems.

The P320 small snack bar machine fills the gap between small-scale testing equipment and full industrial production lines.

From a technical and purchasing perspective, it offers:

• Stable slab forming process
• Medium-level production capacity
• Good compatibility with mixed ingredients
• Clear upgrade path to full automation

For manufacturers focusing on cereal and granola products, this is a practical and scalable solution.
