Cooking extruders for continuous food processing

Processes and Cooks Ingredients for Food Production

The CO Series from Bonnot is a tailored single screw cooking extruder designed to revolutionize continuous food production. This equipment excels in mechanically cooking and shaping ingredients, ensuring high efficiency and consistent quality. With a unique design featuring a longer L/D ratio and multiple jacketed barrels, it optimizes temperature management. The hollow compression screw enhances mechanical shear, crucial for processes like gelatinizing starches and forming pet food, cereals, and confectionary. With model options, such as the CO 1 through CO 8 Series, you can achieve throughput ranging from 5 to 3,500 lbs/hour based on specific production needs. Stainless steel construction ensures compliance with food safety standards, and diverse die configurations allow for versatile applications, from floating fish food pellets to CBD edibles. Integration is seamless, thanks to its PLC-controlled system with touch-screen interface for steam and water heating management, providing a user-friendly and efficient operation. The Series also addresses energy efficiency with advanced motor controls and offers optional heating systems like TCU’s or electric band heaters for precision temperature control, making it an essential choice for food and pet food manufacturers looking to streamline their production line.
