Extrusion Cooking Systems
Extru-Tech Inc.'s broad line of Extrusion Cooking Systems has evolved from numerous years of innovative engineering, metallurgical advancements, and the evolution of superior manufacturing processes. From the beginning, the primary objective of Extru-Tech's engineering staff has been to design an extrusion cooking system that produces high levels of production of high-quality products. Whether it's treats, pet food, aquatic or animal food production in general, Extru-Tech Extruders are the most efficient single-screw extrusion cooking systems available on the market. From unparalleled production capabilities to the exact quality of the finished product, Extrusion Cooking Systems have set the industry standards for performance and value.
PRODUCT DETAIL
Extru-Tech Extruder cylinders are already engineered for wide production capacity with maximum efficiency and minimum metal-to-metal wear. However, to eliminate more pathogens in the extruder barrel, Extru-Tech's advanced function extruders use a modified barrel profile and increased steam injection into the barrel. From the beginning, back in 1985, the primary objective of Extru-Tech's engineering staff has been to design an extrusion cooking system that produces high levels of production and high-quality products. Extru-Tech has the most efficient single screw extrusion cooking systems available on the market; except now they are even more hygienic. Each extruder model can be equipped with multiple packages of different cylinder lengths, each designed for the production of specific products. Naturally, all extruder screws and liners continue to be high-quality, wear-resistant, stainless steel alloys that are then polished, heat treated to the required hardness specifications, and then parallelized to ensure a proper fit between the cylinder components.
DIFFERENT IN EACH ASPECT
From unparalleled production capabilities to the exact quality of the finished product, Extru-Tech Extrusion Cooking Systems has set the industry standards for performance and value. Extru-Tech's advanced feature Extrusion systems were designed with two important criteria. The unit should be quick and easy to clean, and should allow customers to control, reduce, or eliminate contaminants in the system.
EFFICIENCY
While Extru-Tech continues to be a leader in metallurgical advancement and the evolution of production processes, we recognize that there is also a growing interest in food safety. *** Less extrusion time without increase. The new pumping system ensures constant high pressure, regardless of the pressure of the water supply from the water line. *** Advanced temperature control that uses water and steam in individual barrel segments.
CLEANING
As the topic of food safety, including the safety of pet food continues to make headlines, our challenge is to apply hygienic design and principles to the process. Additional design features include: Elimination of most of the horizontal edges in the frame design. Better access from below, over and around the extrusion unit for easy cleaning. Advanced vapor ventilation technology eliminates renegade product and prevents contamination of the process area. *** Less extrusion time without increase. The new pumping system ensures consistent high pressure regardless of the pressure of the water supply from the water line. Advanced DCC includes a manual flush valve to help with the sanitation schedule and allows cleaning in as little as 30 minutes.
FLEXIBILITY
Each extruder model can be equipped with multiple barrel length packages, each designed for the production of specific product types. Naturally, all extruder bolts and liners continue to be constructed of high-quality, wear-resistant stainless steel alloys that are then polished, heat treated to required hardness specifications, and then parallelized to ensure proper fit between components of the barrel.
