Forming extruders for flaked cereals
In the production of flaked cereals, maintaining the shape and texture of the cereal beads is essential. Traditional extrusion methods may not provide the necessary precision and cooling control required for delicate food products.
Form cereal beads with precise cooling control
The Forming Extruders from Wenger are low shear, sanitary, and thermally efficient single screw extruders designed specifically for the production of delicately formed and shaped food products. These extruders receive material from the twin screw extruder, cooling it through jacketed barrels and hollow flight screws, making it particularly suitable for forming cereal beads that can be further processed into flaked cereals. Applications of these forming extruders extend to various food products including textured vegetable proteins, structured meat analogs, ingredients, protein crisps, breadings, and many more. Using proprietary cooling technology, these extruders are ideal for applications requiring precise temperature control. Known for their reliability and efficiency, the Wenger Forming Extruders help achieve consistent product shapes with minimal waste, supporting a variety of first-stage processing needs in food manufacturing.
