Twin-screw extruder for snack innovation
The new extruder, with a 250kg/h maximum capacity, can be used for both short runs for initial development purposes, and longer runs to optimise a process and confirm its stability and product quality.
It can be run in standard or extended-barrel mode, which enables a wider selection of process options, including a longer cooking time. Direct expanded, face cut, extruded and formed, and co-extruded products can be made.
The Baker Perkins extruder is available in a range of outputs between 250 and 2,300kg/h of snacks or cereals. It is the basis for extrusion systems making standard direct expanded snacks, and provides a low cost point of entry for breakfast cereals.
The kit's modular concept means that as a business grows, a line can be extended to broaden the range of products made.
