Twin Screw Extrusion Processing versus Conventional Food Processing
Twin Screw Extrusion - The cheapest, most efficient and most compact method of making high-quality structured products. It’s no surprise, why the scope of twin-screw extrusion in the food industry is continually expanding. Twin screw extrusion technology was first used in 1956, and since then, it has evolved and today, the twin screw extruder is well-recognized for Food & Feed processing. Screw extrusion is predominant in food applications. The process of screw extrusion is used to make a variety of products and combines many operations as one. Co-Rotating Twin Screw Extruders How Does A Twin Screw Extruder Work? Twin screw extruders consist of two co-rotating, intermeshing screws mounted on splined shafts in a closed barrel. Due to a wide range of barrel and screw designs, manufacturers can set up various screw profiles and process functions as per the process requirements. Hence, a twin screw extruder is capable of: • Transporting, • ...
