Cooling drum for seasoned extrudates
Ensure consistent texture and quality in your extruded snacks by effectively cooling seasoned products with a precise, adjustable cooling drum.
Cools and Conditions Seasoned Extrudates
The Cooling Drum SKT from Hebenstreit GmbH is designed to seamlessly integrate into your production line, effectively cooling extrudates after seasoning with a water-based slurry. Using ambient air, the drum’s slow rotation adjusts dwell time and filling degree, ensuring consistent cooling and optimal product condition. Ideal for snack, confectionery, and pet food manufacturers, it processes a variety of end products including curls, rings, balls, and more. The equipment supports continuous, high-speed operations and can be integrated with other production stages, such as extrusion and conveying, to enhance line efficiency. Its robust design accommodates varying product types while minimizing energy consumption through optimized airflow management. Available in durable materials for enhanced longevity, the Cooling Drum SKT offers engineering support for tailored solutions that meet specific production needs.
