food extruder / single-screw / laboratory

Stand-Alone Extruder KE 19: Robust stand-alone single-screw lab extruder

What is it used for?
? Testing the extrusion properties of different materials
? Research and optimization of processing characteristics
? Product development and recipe optimization
? Simulation of processes like cold forming, mixing, shaping, gelatinisation, plastification, cooking and expansion
? Snacks, pasta, breakfast cereals, sweets, pet food, feed etc.

Why is this important?
The extruder allows flexible and efficient trials on a lab scale without
impacting the current production.

What are the benefits?
? Cut down on R&D costs ? Increase time efficiency in R&D
? Test textures and sensory characteristics on a lab scale
? Vary easily your application ideas in terms of functionality, texture or shape
