Twin-screw food extruder ECOtwin™

Twin-Screw Extrusion System ECOtwin™ The twin-screw extrusion system ECOtwin™ consists of the twin-screw extruder ECOtwin™, the preconditioner ECOtherm™ as well as the accompanying machine control system. It is especially tailored to the needs of feed production, particularly the production of petfood and feed for industrial fish farming. The twin-screw extrusion system ECOtwin™ is optionally available with an SME module and density control module. Modules for desired product properties. With the SME and density control modules, the cooking degree and density of the end product can be adjusted according to customer specifications. These auxiliary modules are integrated into the existing process control and guarantee consistently high product quality: With the help of the patented SME module, the structure of the pellets is precisely determined. During the cooking process, the module regulates the specific mechanical energy (SME) to the desired level according to the retarding length. By adding steam or returning steam to the preconditioner, or through the generation of a vacuum, the patented density control module ensures the required bulk density and appropriate degree of expansion of the end product.
