Lab cooking and forming extruders for r&d
Optimize your R&D processes by testing new recipes and improving formulations without disrupting production, using scaled-down lab extruders tailored for small batch and pilot operations.
Develops and Tests Recipes for Small Batches
Extrufood’s Lab Scale Cooking and Forming Extruders are designed for confectionery and pet snack producers aiming to innovate without halting production. These scaled-down variants replicate the performance of full-sized extruders, making them ideal for recipe development and testing. Operating at capacities up to 15 kg/hr for cooking and 50 kg/hr for forming, they enable small-batch experimentation and comprehensive R&D exploration. Serving sectors from chewy candies to plastic pellets, these extruders integrate seamlessly into lab settings with precise controls and minimal material requirements. Their design supports pilot and small-scale production, promoting energy efficiency and material savings. Engineered with high-quality materials for durability, they support a robust and flexible R&D environment while meeting industry standards.
