Single-screw cooking extruder for snack production
Producing high-quality savoury and sweet snacks like curls, balls, and rings requires precise extrusion to ensure consistent shapes and textures. Challenges include controlling the temperature and mixing of raw materials effectively to achieve uniform product quality.
Processes raw materials into various snack shapes.
The Single-Screw Cooking Extruder SE by Hebenstreit is pivotal for snack production, designed to process a wide array of raw materials into high-quality extrudates efficiently. It can produce both sweet and savoury snacks, with the ability to form simple shapes such as curls, balls, wheels, sticks, and rings, as well as complex 3D shapes. The SE70 model handles an output of 100 to 250 kg/h, while the SE110 model processes 200 to 450 kg/h of dried, unseasoned extrudates. Equipped with an inline mixer for homogeneous raw material blending and an inline humidifier for automatic water injection, the extruder ensures optimal consistency. Accurate temperature regulation of the stator and die helps in maintaining the desired product quality. The rotating cutter head can be fitted with up to six blades, offering flexibility in cutting simple and complex shapes. A patented process guarantees even feeding of challenging raw material mixtures.
