Key Features:

1. Twin-Screw Design:
   • Features two intermeshing screws for superior mixing, shearing, and cooking.
   • Ensures precise control of temperature, pressure, and speed for consistent results.
2. Versatility:
   • Capable of processing various raw materials, including grains, proteins, and starches.
   • Supports production of multiple shapes and textures with interchangeable molds and dies.
3. Advanced Automation:
   • Equipped with a user-friendly PLC system for real-time monitoring and control.
   • Simplifies operation and reduces maintenance.
4. Energy Efficient & Durable:
   • Optimized for low energy consumption and high output.
   • Made with high-grade stainless steel for hygiene and longevity.

Working Principle:

The twin screw extruder operates by feeding raw materials into the hopper. The intermeshing screws then transport and process the mixture under controlled heat and pressure. After cooking, the material passes through a die to shape the product, which is then cut to size.

Applications:

• Snack Foods: Corn puffs, chips, crackers, and flavored extruded snacks.
• Snack Pellets: 2D snack pellet, 3D snack pellet in different shapes. Raw materials for puffed and fried snack production.
• Baby Food/Nutritional Powder: Easily digestible and nutrient-rich powders.
• Modified Starch/Pregel Starch: Used in food, paper, and textile industries.
• Bread Crumbs: For coating and cooking applications.
• FRK/Artificial Rice/Micro Rice Pellets: Nutritional rice alternatives or fortified rice kernels.
• Pet Food & Aquatic Feed: Dry and semi-moist food for pets and feed for fish.
• Meat Analogues: Textured vegetable proteins (TVP) for vegan and vegetarian diets.
• Extruded powder : Ingredient for Pet Food: Used in formulations for improved digestibility and binding. Aquatic Feed: Enhances water stability and floatation in fish feed pellets.

Advantages:

• Customizable for a variety of products and production needs.
• High efficiency reduces operational costs and ensures consistent quality.
• Flexible production enables rapid adaptation to market trends.
• Hygienic and easy to clean, complying with food safety standards.
