CoEx Master™ Systems upgrade virtually any twin-screw extruder into a production line for high-value centre-filled snacks. This advanced process technology is simple to install and run. It generates a high rate of return, especially when manufacturers make full use of its potential for exciting and innovative products.
High return on investment
CoEx Master™ System consists of a co-extrusion die, cream feed, and pillow-crimper. This can be part of a new line, or a straightforward upgrade to an existing extrusion line. It enables the line to produce a wide variety of high-value products with minimal equipment and without extensive plant modifications.
High value products
A low-cost extrusion and an innovative premium filling creates a high added-value product. The range of ingredient combinations allows them to be marketed as anything from treats for children to luxury products for adults. They can be positioned in the market as either indulgent or healthy.
Versatile
Fillings are usually a low-moisture cream such as chocolate or praline or a low-moisture fruit paste. An almost endless range of products can be created using the wide array of cereals and textures from the extruder. Double or triple extrusions and a variety of shape options including bite size pieces, tubes, wafers and bars are possible.
Easy to Operate, Clean and Maintain
Rapid set-up and excellent access for cleaning minimize downtime and waste from each production run. Waste is further reduced by the ability to maintain weight control and product quality through individual adjustment of the streams extruded at the die, and cream flow at the pumps.
