Our soy chunks production line is a fully automatic twin-screw extrusion system designed to produce high-quality textured soy protein (TSP/TVP), also known as soy meat, soy nuggets, or soy chunks. Using defatted soy flour as the main raw material, the line applies high-temperature short-time (HTST) extrusion cooking to transform soy protein into a fibrous, meat-like texture with high porosity and excellent rehydration ability. Ideal for vegan/vegetarian food, meat extenders, ready meals, canned food, and plant-based protein products.
Key Features & Benefits
- ✅ Meat-Like Fibrous TextureAdvanced twin-screw shear technology aligns protein molecules into layered, muscle-like fibers, delivering a chewy, non-doughy bite similar to chicken or beef.
- ✅ High Protein & Clean LabelFinished product contains 50%+ protein, <2% fat, with no additives, binders, or preservatives required. Non-GMO compatible and Halal/Kosher friendly.
- ✅ Superior Rehydration (1:3 Ratio)Porous structure absorbs 3× its weight in water (1kg dry = 3kg wet), maximizing yield and profitability for end users.
- ✅ Fully Automatic & High CapacityCapacity ranges from 100kg/h to 2000kg/h (customizable). The line integrates mixing, extrusion, cutting, drying, cooling, and packaging—one-person operation, minimal labor.
- ✅ Multiple Shapes & SizesChangeable dies produce chunks, nuggets, granules, slices, cubes, and strips for curries, stews, burgers, dumplings, and more.
- ✅ No Beany Flavor & Long Shelf LifeHigh-temperature extrusion removes raw beany taste and deactivates anti-nutrients; final moisture <10% ensures 12+ months shelf stability.
- ✅ Durable & Easy MaintenanceBimetallic alloy screws (HRC≥60) resist abrasion; food-grade stainless steel (304) contact parts; CE/ISO/SGS certified.
