Results for “Double Screw Extruder”

A laboratory double screw extruder for product development, recipe trials and small batch production, running the same process as a production machine at a fraction of the throughput.

Developing recipes on a production line is expensive in both material and lost output, and it ties up a machine that should be making saleable product. A lab machine lets formulations be proven before scaling, and the settings transfer. Contact us with your development requirements and we will advise on the configuration that will scale to your production equipment.

A double screw extruder with two intermeshing screws, giving positive conveying and close control of temperature and moisture through the barrel.

Twin screw machines handle what single screw machines cannot: high fat and high moisture recipes, fresh meat or fish inclusion, and co-extruded filled products. They cost more and are more complex to maintain, so they are worth specifying where the product range genuinely needs them rather than as a default upgrade. Contact us with your formulations and product plans and we will advise honestly on whether it is necessary.
