Confectionery forming extruders for viscous masses
Efficiently transform viscous ingredients into uniform, high-quality confectionery or pet snacks with precision and versatility, ensuring consistent product characteristics and enabling customization with coloring and flavoring capabilities.
Forms and Colors Confectionery and Plastic Products
The Forming Extruders from Extrugroup are engineered for precision and flexibility in confectionery, pet snacks, and plastic production. Equipped with twin-screw, co-rotating technology, these extruders provide seamless processing of various viscous masses—ranging from licorice and chewy candies to custom-shaped plastic components. Their self-wiping intermeshing screws ensure easy cleaning and reduce downtime, while the optional twin-screw, counter-rotating infeed ensures stable, de-aerated mass flow for consistent product quality.
These extruders can produce a wide array of end-products, including licorice strings, gummy bears, fruit leather strips, and more. The Diemix® functionality allows for mixing color and flavor right after the forming process, offering versatility in product design. Built on a single stainless steel frame, they deliver robust performance and corrosion resistance, suited for continuous, high-speed operations. All units can be customized to meet specific production needs, benefiting from Extrugroup’s engineering support and compliance with industry standards, ensuring reliable integration into existing processing lines.
