Conical twin screw extruder for pet food and aquatic feed
Precision-engineered for high-speed extrusion and drying processes, this advanced conical system efficiently transforms diverse raw materials into high-quality pet and aquatic feeds, ensuring optimal texture and consistency while accommodating a wide range of formulations.
Processes and Conditions Diverse Feed and Food Products
The C2TX Conical Twin Screw Extruder from Wenger is engineered to transform raw ingredients into a wide array of food, pet food, and aquatic feed products. Utilizing intermeshing co-rotating conical screws, it kneads and processes material with precise control over variables like screw speed (500 to 1,200 RPM), moisture, and temperature. This flexibility allows for the efficient production of textured vegetable proteins, meat analogs, and specialty feeds, including soy crumbles and trout pellets. Capable of continuous high-speed operation, it integrates seamlessly into your production line with features like automated PLC control and remote monitoring, enhancing operational efficiency. The design also supports easy maintenance with access to critical components and optional customization for material composition to resist corrosion in demanding environments.
