Description
Step into the future of sustainable food manufacturing with the Plant-Based Twin-Screw Extruder, designed for producing a wide range of plant-based products, including snack puffs, meat analogues, and specialty protein foods.
Built with food-grade materials for all components in direct contact with ingredients, this extruder ensures safety and compliance with food processing standards. Its easy-clean design reduces downtime between recipes, while customizable screw configurations offer precise control over texture, density, and cooking parameters.
For snack production, the extruder can process grain-based formulations with low moisture content (<20 wt%), creating light, crispy textures through controlled heat, pressure, and expansion. The integrated face-cutter pelletizer allows for accurate shape and size control, with a stainless steel enclosure to maintain hygiene.
In high-moisture meat analogue (HMMA) production, the extruder’s long cooling section and precise temperature control ensure realistic, meat-like textures. It can handle moisture contents of 40–80%, processing plant proteins such as pea, soy, and wheat gluten with binders, fibers, and natural colorants.
Whether you’re developing new products in R&D labs or scaling up for commercial production, the Plant-Based Twin-Screw Extruder offers unmatched flexibility, consistent quality, and sustainable processing capabilities.
