High-sme extruder for structured meat analogs
Producing high-quality textured vegetable proteins and structured meat analogs requires precise control over cooking parameters and high mechanical energy levels to enhance textural properties and achieve desired product consistency.
Achieve high mechanical energy for diverse food products
The Magnum ST Series by Wenger is a high-SME twin screw extruder designed for applications requiring extreme operating parameters. With its capacity to reach up to 1,200 rpm and power levels to 165 kWhr/t SME, it optimizes output in a compact footprint. The parallel-shaft twin screws offer high torque at lower shaft speeds, making it ideal for high-viscosity processes and continuous physical and chemical reactions. The extruder comes with optional features like the High Intensity Preconditioner (HIP) to enhance fiber addition and whole grain ingredients. Its design includes automatic control systems for precise management and an overhead rail system for easy component removal, promoting better sanitation and reduced downtime.
Benefits
- Versatile for various food applications
- High torque at low shaft speeds
- Efficient and precise process control
