CPM IDAH presents the TwinTech extruder for the Pet Food and Aqua Feed market

In March, CPM IDAH presented the clearest evidence of that collaboration at the Victam Asia 2024 show: the new TwinTech twin-corotative screw extruder. This TwinTech extruder updates IDAH's well-known twin-screw extruder with innovations and design techniques from CPM Ruiya Extrusion, along with the long-lasting gearbox and energy-efficient motor from the renowned CPM equipment.

Collaborative development

"This extruder is the result of collaboration between the CPM brands IDAH (Taiwan) and Ruiya Extrusion (China)," says Ezequiel Villar, Business Development Manager for Latin America at CPM IDAH. "We combined their knowledge of design, robustness, and profitability with our knowledge of food production to introduce a new technology."

The CPM gearbox and motor also offer real advantages in the TwinTech. 'The gearbox allows rotational speeds of up to 600 RPM, making it easier to process heavy loads and increase performance, along with a proven long service life,' says EV.

TwinTech's CPM motor is a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), which offers significant advantages: "The CPM motor requires less energy," says EV. "It also reduces size and noise emission by approximately 30%." Combined, these innovations create a market-leading twin-screw extruder that delivers capacity, value, and reliability.

TwinTech details

The TwinTech extruder offers a range of new features developed by both IDAH and partner brands within CPM:

• Improved Gearbox technology: Powered by CPM's renowned and proven gearbox technology, the TwinTech extruder features a high-speed, heavy-duty gearbox capable of a rotational speed of up to 600 RPM. This allows for increased processing capacity and efficiency.
• Energy efficient design: The TwinTech extruder is powered by a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), which is highly efficient and approximately 50% smaller than traditional air-cooled motors. This motor design contributes to energy savings, reduced noise pollution (up to 30% less), and the option of water cooling to maintain the motor.

• Density control unit: An optional feature, the density control unit, allows TwinTech to produce different food types using the pressure inside the cutting chamber. This versatility allows manufacturers to produce a wide range of feeds with a single machine.
• Advanced preconditioning and cooking systems: These systems are designed to improve the cooking process by ensuring effective steam integration and retention, resulting in greater processing efficiency and product quality.

Our CPM IDAH TwinTech extruder is a guaranteed solution to increase product quality levels with lower energy and wear costs.

Regionally, we see an increase in consumption and specific growth in premium food by users, which generates the responsibility of the entire chain to have efficient solutions given the limitations that our clients face with the increase in ingredient, energy, and overhead costs. But despite these challenges, high-quality products are still expected to be supplied to a very competitive market.

The TwinTech extruder is a cutting-edge solution that combines the experience of IDAH and the technology and robustness of CPM, offering the pet food industry a reliable and efficient tool.
