- Small footprint
- Continuous operation
- High free volume
- Small process inventory
- Segmented screws and barrel
- Removable screws and liners
Environmental Note: Continuous processing has lower utilities use than traditional batch processes. A small footprint reduced clean room volumes and lower ingredient consumption reduces handling and operator exposure.
Self contained units can be operated with recirculating chillers for reduced water consumption.
Required Accessories: We offer a full range of GMP standard ancillaries which are matched to the extruder performance, and can be integrated into the extruder control system. These include volumetric or gravimetric dosing feeders, air cooled conveyors for product cooling, strand and face-cut pelletisers to make pellets, or chill roll/flaker units for rapid product cooling and flaking.
Compatible with: Application of PAT using Thermo instruments like FT NIR can give assurance of product quality, by measuring composition and moisture content.
