The LRCF is designed to form individual puffed grain cakes.
Potential products include:
Round rice cakes
Triangular grain cakes
Small puffed grain discs
Corn-based cakes
Glutinous-rice cakes
Black-rice cakes
Multigrain cakes
Customized shapes produced with compatible molds
The machine is intended for formed puffed-grain products. It should not be confused with equipment used to produce soft Korean rice cakes, steamed rice dough or extruded rice noodles.
A physical sample or clear product photograph should be supplied before the machine configuration is finalized.
Different rice varieties may be evaluated according to grain size, moisture, expansion behavior and the desired finished texture.
Corn grits can be considered when their particle size and moisture are suitable for the forming process.
Glutinous rice has different expansion and binding characteristics from conventional rice. Product testing is recommended.
Black rice may be used for selected products, but color, expansion and texture should be evaluated with the actual material.
Compatible grains may be blended to develop different colors, flavors and textures.
The ratio and pretreatment of each material should be tested because different grains may expand differently.
The machine result depends strongly on the condition of the raw material.
Before production, confirm:
Grain type
Grain variety
Grain size
Broken-grain percentage
Initial moisture
Required moisture adjustment
Cleaning condition
Foreign-material content
Storage condition
Blend ratio
Desired expansion and texture
Do not assume that every whole grain can be processed under the same settings.
High-fat, high-fiber or unusually hard ingredients may require product trials or a different process.
The grain is cleaned and prepared according to the process requirements.
Depending on the raw material, moisture conditioning or size classification may be required before feeding.
A measured amount of grain enters the forming area.
Stable and repeatable feeding is important for maintaining consistent product weight and thickness.
The material is processed inside the mold according to the selected operating cycle.
The machine applies the required process conditions to form and expand the grain material into the mold shape.
After the forming cycle is completed, the mold opens and releases the finished rice cake.
The finished product is discharged for cooling, inspection and collection.
Rice cakes should be cooled to a suitable temperature before packaging.
The packaging material should provide the barrier properties required to protect the product from moisture and loss of crispness.
The current detailed specification lists a round product with an approximate diameter of 45 mm.
The listed mold produces eight pieces per cycle, with a reference output of approximately 3,600–3,840 pieces per hour.
The current detailed specification lists a triangular product with an approximate side length of 53 mm.
The listed mold produces ten pieces per cycle, with a reference output of approximately 4,500–4,800 pieces per hour.
Different product sizes and shapes may be developed with customized molds.
Before ordering a custom mold, provide:

Packaging requirements
The achievable thickness range should be confirmed with the selected raw material and mold.
The machine can be evaluated for rice, corn grits, glutinous rice, black rice and compatible grain blends.
Different molds can be used to produce round, triangular or customized product shapes.
The listed thickness range allows different rice cake formats to be evaluated.
The current detailed specification lists machine dimensions of 530 × 510 × 1,500 mm.
Additional operating and maintenance space must be included when planning the installation area.
The machine completes repeated feeding, forming and discharge cycles.
The exact control sequence and adjustable parameters should be demonstrated before ordering.

Rice cake forming performance depends on the grain and desired product.
A product test is recommended when:
The grain variety has not been processed before
A multigrain formulation will be used
A custom shape is required
A specific expansion level is required
The product must meet a strict weight tolerance
The customer provides a reference product to reproduce
Added powders or ingredients will be used
The test should record:
Raw-material type
Initial moisture
Pretreatment
Machine settings
Product dimensions
Product weight
