Food Extruder Screw and Barrel

Our Food Extruder Screw and Barrel are manufactured to the highest standards of hygiene, safety, and precision for processing edible materials. Designed for easy cleaning, corrosion resistance, and gentle product handling, they are the reliable core for producing breakfast cereals, snacks, pet food, and textured protein.

Food extrusion demands strict compliance with global sanitary regulations. Our system is constructed using food-grade stainless steels for all product-contact surfaces. The design prioritizes cleanability with highly polished surfaces (Ra < 0.4µm), minimal dead zones, and quick-disconnect capabilities to reduce downtime during product changeover. The screw geometry is specifically engineered for various food processes: high-shear configurations for starch gelatinization in directly expanded snacks, and lower-shear designs for forming dense pet food kibble or textured vegetable protein (TVP) meat analogs. Precision temperature control in each independent barrel zone is critical to manage cooking reactions, moisture content, and final product texture. Durability is ensured through specialized surface hardening techniques that are compatible with food safety standards, providing long service life while resisting wear from fibrous ingredients, abrasive additives, and frequent cleaning-in-place (CIP) procedures.

Specifically designed for the food processing industry, used in producing ready-to-eat breakfast cereals, expanded snacks, baby food, croutons, and seasonings. It is also the core technology for pet food and aquatic feed extrusion, as well as for the growing market of plant-based proteins and textured vegetable protein (TVP).
