OEM-ready engineeringBar size, nozzle, line width and downstream modules can be configured.
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.

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.
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.
02 / Stable texture
Even thickness. Cleaner cuts.
Flattening rollers and temperature control support a consistent slab before cutting.
03 / Accurate sizing
Change length with confidence.
Variable-speed cutting helps create square, short or long bars with less waste.
Technical specifications
Choose the width
that matches the ambition.
YUCHO compound bar forming platforms are available in five nominal widths. Final specifications are confirmed after recipe and output trials.
| Model | Roller width | Roller temperature | Longitudinal cutter | Linear speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TPX200 | 150–200 mm | -20 to -70 °C | 2 units | 0–2.5 m/min |
| TPX300 | 280–330 mm | 2 units | ||
| TPX400 | 380–430 mm | 2 units | ||
| TPX600 | 580–630 mm | 2 units | ||
| TPX800 | 780–830 mm | 2 units |

Customer-ready applications
One platform.
Many winning formats.
Use the same forming logic to launch and extend a portfolio of protein, cereal, energy, fruit and nut-based bars.
01
Protein & energy bars
For high-protein mixes, syrup-bound formulas and coated retail bars.
02
Cereal & granola bars
For crunchy inclusions, muesli, granola and cereal-heavy recipes with optional enrobing.
03
Nut, date & fruit bars
For dense natural recipes where controlled compression and clean cutting matter.

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.
