Casa Herrera Launches New Entry-Level Rolled and Traditional Tortilla Chip Line

New line produces 1,000 pounds of finished chips per hour straight from the fryer, giving growing snack food producers an accessible path into automated chip production

Casa Herrera, a trusted name in tortilla and snack food processing equipment for nearly seven decades, today announced the upcoming launch of its newest offering: an entry-level rolled and traditional tortilla chip line capable of producing 1,000 pounds of finished chips per hour directly from the fryer. The new line will be available to producers beginning February 2027.

Designed for emerging and growing manufacturers, the line combines new and refurbished equipment and is backed by the same warranty as new equipment. This approach gives producers a cost-effective way to enter automated chip production or add rolled chips to their product mix, while maintaining the consistency, texture, and quality that consumers expect.

“Not every producer needs to start with a large-scale system, but every producer deserves equipment they can count on,” said Mark Herrera, President of Casa Herrera. “This new line gives growing businesses a practical, reliable starting point for producing both rolled and traditional chips. And as their business grows, Casa Herrera is ready to grow with them.”

For producers with high-volume needs, Casa Herrera continues to manufacture higher-capacity chip systems, allowing customers to start with the entry-level line and scale up as demand increases.

The new line is the latest in a series of innovations from Casa Herrera aimed at helping tortilla and snack food producers increase efficiency, reduce operational costs, and stay competitive in a growing market. With continued strong demand for tortilla chips and snack products, the line offers smaller and mid-sized producers an accessible way to capture new opportunities.

Casa Herrera’s new entry-level rolled and traditional tortilla chip line will be available beginning February 2027. Producers interested in learning more about the line’s specifications, capabilities, and how it can be integrated into new or existing facilities, as well as those interested in Casa Herrera’s higher-capacity systems, are encouraged to contact Casa Herrera directly.
