Rice Cake Machine
Rice Cake Machine
A SUNPRING rice cake machine turns prepared rice grains into crisp puffed rice cakes — one batch every 10 seconds, with no oil and no frying. Four series cover everything from a 360 pcs/h compact unit to a 7,200 pcs/h production model, with round, square, triangle and bar molds plus custom heart and bear profiles.
What a Rice Cake Machine Does
Prepared rice grains are filled into the hopper, metered into a heated mold cavity, and pressed by a hydraulic platen at up to 400℃. The grains fuse into a crisp cake in a single cycle, and the finished cake is released automatically — one batch every 10 seconds.
Because only the mold shape changes the output format, the same machine can produce round, triangle, square and wave chips, plus custom shapes such as star, crescent, heart or animal figures — the ideal start-up line for a snack factory, a co-packing plant or a healthy-cereal brand.
Only the mold decides the shape
How It Works — 5 Steps
Why Choose SUNPRING Rice Cake Machines
Mechanical design decisions that keep the cycle stable and the cake evenly cooked
Extra-Thick Pressure Plate
Thickened platen for one-time molding — high pressure with lower energy consumption per cake.
Real-Time Temperature Display
Mold temperature shown and adjusted live, so the cake is neither undercooked nor scorched.
Chain Transmission
Chain drive instead of fragile linkages — fewer mechanical failures and a smoother running cycle.
Pure Copper Motor
High-efficiency copper-wound motor: durable, long service life and enough torque for dense rice loads.
Thickened Stainless Inlet
Thickened stainless hopper inlet — corrosion resistant, long lasting, resistant to deformation.
Touch Screen Control
M20 / M60 / M90 run from a touch panel — recipe and temperature settings recalled in seconds.
P20 Mold Steel
Stainless steel shell with P20 mold steel cavities — corrosion resistant and easy to wipe clean, while the molds hold their edge shape in continuous use.
Molds Customized on Demand
Round, triangle, square and wave as standard; other shapes and sizes produced to your drawing.

Complete Rice Cake Production Line
A rice cake machine on its own makes cakes. In real production it is the first of five modules that run as one continuous line — forming, roasting, drying, seasoning and packing — sized to the same output so the cakes never stop moving between them.
The photos below follow the cakes through the line — module by module, from forming to packing, plus the optional chocolate coating module at the end.
Mold Reference
The mold set is the only change-over part on the machine — cavity count, shape and depth define both the cake format and the hourly output. The set below is a 6-cavity round mold: six cakes per 10-second cycle.
Shapes Cut Into the Mold
Six mold shapes, each a separate cavity set. Standard diameters and sizes sit under every shape; hearts, bears and other profiles are cut to your drawing.

Rice Cake Machine FAQ
Short answers to the questions buyers ask most about puffed rice cake machines — output, mold shapes, power supply and complete line set-up.
What is a rice cake machine and how does it work?
It puffs prepared rice grains inside a heated mold. A metered portion of grain is fed into the cavity, pressed and heated at the same time, and the finished cake is released automatically — one batch every 10 seconds. No oil is used and nothing is fried.
How many rice cakes can one machine produce per hour?
Output is set by the number of cavities in the mold: 360 pcs/h on the SP-XB single-mold unit, 720–3,600 pcs/h on the M20 series, 1,440–5,400 pcs/h on the M60 series and up to 7,200 pcs/h on the M90 series with a 20-cavity round 45 mm mold.
Which cake shapes and sizes can the mold make?
Round Ø45, 80, 90 and 130–150 mm; square 80 × 80 mm; triangle with a 45 or 58 mm base side; rectangular bars to your length and width; and custom profiles such as hearts and bears cut to your drawing. Each machine is delivered with one mold shape — extra shapes are quoted as additional molds.
What power supply and air supply does it need?
SP-XB runs on 220 V / 50 Hz. M20, M60 and M90 use 380 V / 50 Hz plus 0.5 MPa compressed air. Heater temperature is adjustable up to 400 °C and the setpoint is entered on the touch screen.
Can the machine be part of a complete production line?
Yes. Forming, roasting, drying, seasoning and weighing/packing are built as one continuous line matched in capacity, so cakes never stop moving between modules. An optional chocolate coating module sits between the seasoning drum and the packing line.
How do I get a price for the machine and the molds?
Send the cake shape, diameter and target output per hour. We reply with the matching model, the mold quotation and trial-run videos of the same model so you can check the cake quality before ordering.
