Product feeding for extruded and legume snacks

Product Feed System

Feeding at the start of the processing line is simplified with feeding systems that gently and consistently meter product to suit your capacity and product requirements.

Extruding machinery for snacks and legume snacks

Extruding

Our extruded and legume snack systems include an extruder that provide high volume continuous production and ensures uniformity. The product mixture is forced through an extrusion die plate or die that forms the desired snack shape. The product is then cut to a specific length by a rotating blade allowing the product to fall directly into the frying oil.

Continuously frying extruded snacks

Frying

We provide more choices when it comes to selecting a new fryer. Choose from natural gas, oil, steam, thermal fluid or electric heating. Optimal product handling, uniform oil heating and flow control, efficient fines removal, fast oil turnover, and clean-in-place sanitation are all part of the fryer package that produces the highest quality product with a long shelf life.
