Rice cracker production combines drying and baking: steamed rice dough is formed and cut, the pieces are dried slowly to an even moisture, then baked or toasted until they puff and crisp. If the drying stage is rushed, pieces crack or puff unevenly, so both steps matter as much as the recipe.
To dry rice crackers, GEM recommends the Tunnel & Belt Oven and Band Dryer (Beltotherm). The usual target is 2–4% moisture. Industrial Cooler is used when the feed or site calls for it. Every project starts with a pilot trial on your own sample.
A band dryer handles the slow pre-drying of formed rice dough pieces, and the tunnel oven bakes them for puffing and colour. The oven also sets seasoning and glazes, and a cooler stabilises crackers before packing.

| Alternatives | Industrial Cooler |
| Application area | Bakery, Biscuits & Rice Crackers |
| Industries | Food & Beverage |
Controlled pre-drying and baking reduce cracking and uneven puff, which affect yield and appearance. Consistent quality matters in export markets where rice crackers are sold on visual standards.
Plants searching for a rice cracker oven or comparing a senbei drying machine usually need three answers: which dryer fits, what it costs to run, and how fast it pays back. For Rice Crackers, we start from your throughput, current moisture and the target (2–4%), trial a sample on the Tunnel & Belt Oven, and return a sized recommendation with a budget quotation for your food operation.
We trial your material in our pilot facility before any equipment decision, then size the dryer from real data.
Describe it in the form, or message an engineer directly.
