Unique product shapes can be designed into custom made extrusion dies, and product changeover is as simple as exchanging one compression head and die for another with a different shape.
The Reading Pretzel Filled Stick Extrusion System creates sticks filled with a variety of soft fillings, like chocolate, peanut butter or cheese. The System consists of a Low Pressure Extruder and pump system that combine raw batches of dough and dough filling into a specifically shaped, filled rope.
When your application involves fried snack extruded products, the Reading Pretzel Fried Snack Extruder offers a flexible solution and can produce innovative product shapes. This Extruder is taller and more open, allowing for easy mating with frying equipment and the installation of optional free float sections to discharge cut product into a fryer.
