Expanded Snack System
The High-Pressure Extruder mixes and cooks ingredients to produce expanded shapes, including curls, popcorn shapes, rings, and balls. Its flexible design provides for quick and easy changeover of the screws, barrels and product dies, allowing for a wide variety of products with interesting textures and flavors in different shapes.
Another component, the Tumble Dryer, reduces the moisture of the product to the proper, finished level, typically 1.5-4%. For many applications, this dryer is capable of handling product from two extruders at once. Air circulation, speed, and temperature control are automatic, and drying time can be adjusted during operation to ensure quality control.
