Snack Making

We're always being asked how our snacks are made, so here's a simple step-by-step guide to what goes into making one of Golden Wonder's most popular products, Transform-A-Snack...



1

Maize is delivered to Golden Wonder's factory in sacks and is sieved into buckets which are then emptied into hoppers feeding the extruders.


2

The Maize is then mixed with other ingredients and extruded under into the high pressure three shapes that appear in Transform-A-Snacks - a spaceship, a space hoop and a meteor ball


3

The shapes are passed through the oven to dry and bake on a conveyor belt


4

Next, the snack shapes pass through a large rotating drum where they are coated with oil and the appropriate Transform-A-Snack flavouring added (either Pickled Onion, Spicy, Cheese & Onion, Saucy BBQ, Beef or new Flamin' Hot Flavour).


5

The flavoured snacks are then transported through a bucket elevator system onto the vibratory conveyor system which get rid of any broken snacks.


6

The snacks are weighed for the appropriate pack size before being fed automatically into packs.


7

Packaging film comes straight off a reel into the automated packing machine where bags are made up and product dropped inside and sealed.


8

The bagged snacks are packed into boxes which travel along a conveyor to the despatch department.


9

The boxes of Transform-A-Snack are stacked onto pallets ready to be shrink-wrapped. This help protect them on their journey to the retailer and you the consumer.
