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. |
