It’s important to get timing and temperature right when making caramel, and this implies being vigilant. For small scale production of caramel, ensure that your heat source distributes heat evenly and monitor the caramelization process closely. This prevents recrystallization and burning the sugar. For medium to large scale caramel production, consider investing in automated caramel making equipment.

Chewing gum is usually a polymer that you mix with flavorings – which is something most consumers have no clue about. In a survey in Iceland, 85% of people said they didn't know the product contained plastic. While there are non-plastic options more recently available, the gum base is usually natural latex or a synthetic substitute. To decrease the impacts on the environment, some producers are shifting towards more environmental-friendly options.

Children love them, and adults love them too. Extruded cereal is a typical ready-to-eat cereal with different flavors and shapes. You pour cold milk into a bowl of extruded cereal and eat them for breakfast or sometimes as a dessert. These shapes of cereals are refined by thermo-mechanical cereal extruder machines. Typically, extruded cereal can be categorized into three kinds: direct expanded cereal, co-extruded cereal, and extruded flakes. Depending on which kind of extruded cereal you are making among these three kinds, your choice of processing line will differ.

In NASA's early years, a research program was established on how to provide food for astronauts while in space. In fact, in the 1960s, nutrition bars were launched with a label called "Space Food Sticks" because they were designed to allow astronauts to eat them easily while wearing their helmets. Protein bar manufacturing equipment is used to mix ingredients, extrude the mixture at a set temperature, cool the product before cutting it to size, coating it, and allowing it to cool to prepare it for packaging.

Protein bars

Vegan meat alternatives and plant-based foods have rapidly grown in popularity over the last decade. Many people are switching to meat substitute food products. Your body does not discriminate between proteins and calories coming from meats and those coming from plants. From a nutritional point of view, they all have the same value. But chewing on a portion of veggie pumpkin protein does not feel the same as a cut of meat - the texture is completely different.

Textured Vegetable Protein

With consumerism comes great responsibility. More and more are switching their diet towards vegan and vegetarian alternatives, varying from dairy to meat. As more plant-based meat technologies are being invented, the production is rising in popularity. Ever wondered which challenges come with that?

Conditioning

The extruder was first developed to make lead pipes in the late 18th century. But the extrusion process technique quickly spread to other manufacturing sectors, including food, feed, and biomass products. An extruder machine presses a fluid or solid material through a die. Depending on your use case, extruders adopt single- or twin-screw systems to push the premixed feed material through a barrel. Thermal pressure applied in this step can chemically modify the mixture, so the screw system must be precisely calibrated to achieve the desired result. Finally, a knife head cuts the extruded material into your designed dimensions. Extrusion machinery produces items of a uniform size, shape, and consistency.
