Food extruder EXDCS Series

The wet mix, which is typically prepared in a kneader, pug mixer or high shear granulator (pharma), is metered into the feed hopper by a feeder or hand fed. Twin screws transport material into the extrusion zone where tapered extrusion blades wipe material through perforated screens creating cylindrical extrudates of a controlled diameter. The extrudates break off by their own weight and are collected for the next processing step. Radial extrudate discharge Screw transport ensures plug flow operation, first in first out Choice of twin extrusion screws to suit process Variable shaft rotation speed Easy scale-up High yield Better particle size distribution Improved flowability Excellent process repeatability Minimal holdup volume
