From recipe to repeatability

One controlled process.
More ways to grow.

The protein bar line combines steady feeding, gentle extrusion, accurate sizing and optional enrobing in a compact, easy-to-operate workflow.

01
◌

Feed & blend

Prepared protein, syrup, nut, cereal or date mixtures enter the hopper with controlled feeding.

02
⇆

Extrude

Single or dual hoppers form solid, layered or sandwich profiles through a recipe-matched nozzle.

03
▥

Flatten & cool

Rollers set the thickness and surface. Cooling stabilizes the slab for clean downstream handling.

04
╋

Cut & coat

Longitudinal and cross cutting create consistent bars, ready for chocolate enrobing or wrapping.

Production line design

Start with the product.
Scale the system around it.

Every line is engineered around your bar recipe, target dimensions, output and packaging rhythm. Choose a focused extrusion cell or a complete line with cooling, cutting and coating.

Compact starter cell

Dual-hopper extruder, interchangeable nozzles and cutting for brands launching a new bar range.

Best for: pilot batches · flexible SKUs
02

Integrated production line

Forming, flattening, cooling, longitudinal cutting, cross cutting and conveyor transfer in one coordinated system.

Best for: continuous production · stable output
03

Chocolate-coated system

Add a chocolate enrober and cooling tunnel for premium coated protein, cereal and energy bars.

Best for: retail-ready premium products

Engineering advantage

Simple to operate.
Hard to outgrow.

Food production changes quickly. Your forming platform should let you change recipes and product formats without rebuilding the whole factory.

Close-up of stainless steel dual-hopper protein bar extruder
01 / Flexible forming

Double-color and sandwich bars, without a complicated interface.

Two hoppers, recipe-matched nozzles and PLC adjustment make it easier to move from classic protein bars to filled and layered formats.

Protein bar flattening rollers and conveyor detail
02 / Stable texture

Even thickness. Cleaner cuts.

Flattening rollers and temperature control support a consistent slab before cutting.

High-speed cutter for protein bar production
03 / Accurate sizing

Change length with confidence.

Variable-speed cutting helps create square, short or long bars with less waste.

Questions buyers ask first

Clear answers
before the quote.

We have organized the questions that usually shape a protein bar machine investment: products, sizing, quality, commissioning and support.

Ask a different question ↗
What products can the protein bar machine make?+

The line is designed for protein bars, energy bars, cereal and granola bars, nut bars, date bars, nougat, fruit bars and similar compound bar products. Interchangeable nozzles support different shapes and sizes.

Can the machine make double-color or filled protein bars?+

Yes. The extrusion system can be configured with two hoppers to produce double-color or sandwich-style bars. The filling ratio and nozzle set are selected during project design and testing.

How do I choose the right line width?+

YUCHO offers nominal forming widths of 200, 300, 400, 600 and 800 mm. The best choice depends on target output, bar dimensions, recipe behavior, available floor space and packaging speed.

How is machine quality verified before shipment?+

YUCHO can run the line in its factory before delivery, invite customers to witness a product trial, complete commissioning at the customer site and provide remote or on-site technical support.

What after-sales support is included?+

Support includes installation and commissioning, operator training, process guidance, remote video assistance, lifetime technical consultation, original spare parts and one-year free parts replacement for non-human damage components.
