Twin-screw extruder for breakfast cereal
In the production of breakfast cereals, achieving consistent quality while minimizing downtime is crucial. Challenges such as ingredient mixing uniformity, maintaining product integrity, and efficient processing speeds are often encountered, requiring specialized solutions.
Flexible, reliable 24/7 processing
The PolyTwin, EcoTwin, and CompacTwin twin-screw extruders by Bühler are designed to meet the rigorous demands of breakfast cereal production. These extruders provide exceptional flexibility due to their high torque, variable screw speeds, and pressure variables which can be customized to different process requirements. The modular design ensures each unit can be tailored to specific applications, enhancing operational efficiency. One standout feature is the two-stage preconditioner, which separates the mixing zone from the retention zone, ensuring intensive mixing and gentle retention. Additionally, the intelligent recipe memory system aids in delivering consistent end-product quality and reduces operator errors. State-of-the-art technology and highly durable barrel interiors, resistant to wear, further improve the lifetime operation of these extruders, making them a reliable choice for continuous production.
