The “magic Tool” in Food And Feed Processing

Oct 10, 2023

Principle and classification of puffing machine

1.n extruder is a device that uses high temperature and high pressure to expand, deform and sterilize substances. It is mainly composed of expansion pressure chamber, screw, electronic control system and other parts. According to different fields of use, extruders can be divided into food extruders, chemical extruders, pharmaceutical extruders, and feed extruders.

2. Application of puffing machine in food processing Puffed food The most common puffed foods are rice cakes, popcorn, cheese balls, etc. In the extruder, processed raw materials such as corn and rice are expanded into a porous structure through high temperature and high pressure, thereby achieving crispy and good taste effects. Puffed soybean products Puffed soybean products refer to foods formed after processing of soybeans and other beans, such as: soybean textured protein, plant drawn protein, vegetarian meat protein, etc. The extruder can mature and expand the bean raw materials, making the food delicious, soft and delicious. The feed application extruder can also be used for various types of aquatic feed such as floating, sinking, cache fish feed, crayfish feed, abalone and sea cucumber feed, ornamental fish feed, etc.

Advantages of extruders in food

1. Improve the quality of products by processing a variety of raw materials: the twin-screw extruder can process a variety of raw materials at the same time, such as raw materials in different fields such as feed, food, chemicals, medicine, etc., with high applicability and flexibility 2. Product quality is stable and reliable: In the twin-screw extruder, the material is fully matured, so that the internal temperature is evenly distributed and the water evaporates evenly. These are conducive to ensuring that the product quality is stable and reliable, with better taste and texture.

3. High production efficiency: The screws in the twin-screw extruder rotate very quickly, and the materials are fully mixed and matured, thus greatly improving the production efficiency and making the production process more efficient.

4. The machine has a compact structure: The twin-screw extruder has a compact structure, a small footprint, and is easy to install and maintain. In addition, the new twin-screw extruder adopts technologies such as a steady-state screw structure and a zero-clearance twin-screw mechanism to effectively control the shear force and ensure that the maturation time and particle expansion coefficient of all materials in the expansion chamber are consistent, thereby further improving product quality. and production efficiency.

Advantages of extruders in feed

Increase the nutritional content of feed: The twin-screw extruder can use high temperature and high pressure to decompose starch molecules, making it easier for animals to absorb. It can also eliminate anti-nutritional factors and improve the quality and taste of feed.

 

1. Enhance the digestibility of feed: The feed particles processed by the twin-screw extruder are in the shape of low-density porous flowers, which are easy to be digested and absorbed by animals. At the same time, it is conducive to enhancing the solubility of the feed, which is beneficial to the eating and absorption of animals.

2. Improve the stability of feed: The use of twin-screw extruders can achieve sterile processing of feed, thereby reducing the chance of feed deterioration and maintaining the stability and consistency of feed ingredients.

3. Increase the output of feed: Compared with other processing equipment, the twin-screw extruder has faster processing speed, which increases the output and efficiency of feed.

4. Convenient operation and maintenance: The twin-screw extruder is compact in structure, easy to operate, easy to clean and maintain, which greatly reduces the manpower and material costs in the production process.
