Food extrusion is widely applied in processing industries. The process involves forcing through a perforated plate or die, a set of mixed ingredients. They are then cut into specified sizes by blades. An extruder is the machine which forces the mix through the plate. Our own brand, SunPring has proven to be among the best currently in the market. Extrudate is the mix. This technology dates back to 1870s when the first extruder was designed to manufacture sausages. Through the 1930s, breakfast cereals and dry pasta were mostly produced via extrusion. This technique was later used in kitchen appliances like coffee grinders and even pasta makers.
Extrusion process is important in the manufacture of snacks, textured vegetable protein, ready to eat cereals and even pasta. Our SunPring extruder is made of tightly fitted screws that rotate with a stationary barrel. Conditioned and pre-ground ingredients then get inside the screw for conveyance, mixing and heating through a number of processes. The product will then exit the extruder through a die. Through this die, it will puff and change texture due to steam release and normal forces. This continuous process allows for mass production of food and also ensures uniformity in the final product.
Our firm SunPring deals with designing, manufacturing and installing food extruders for use in extrusion of fish feeds, pet food, breakfast cereals ,snacks like namkeen, fryum etc. We manufacture single screw and double screw extruders which create thousands of businesses and opportunities for our clients all over the globe. Our teams of experts are located in different countries like the U.K, New Zealand, Australia and even the U.S. We are worth trusting because we offer free industrial knowledge to our clients. At SunPring we would love to help you come all the way from just a learner to an expert in extrusion business.
Production of new processed food products is attributed to extrusion. It has revolutionized snack manufacturing over the years. Products manufactured by SunPring extruders have very high content of starch. Some of which are;
Breakfast cereals, pasta, meat analogues made using plant proteins, fish paste, chewing gum, toffee, liquorices, processed cheese, breads cookie dough, baby foods, jelly beans, macaroni and many more.
SunPring extruders have their advantages and are very important in food processing. Some principal advantages of using our extrusion technology and why this is important in food processing are:
1) The SunPring extruder easily meets the latest food trends. Take a case of snacks, this food industry undergoes numerous and ever-changing trends. To cope with these trends, there is need of extrusion technology as this is the only sure way of meeting customer expectations and demands.
2) Its adaptability-We ensure the process is very adaptable in accommodating new consumer needs. Most products are feasible by just changing their ingredients and the conditions of extruder operation.
3) Use our extruders to produces a variety of texture, shapes, appearance and color which is not easy to produce in other production methods. In short, our technology enhances the characteristics of your product.
4) Our extruders will also maintain your product quality. There is minimization of food nutrients degradation and an improvement of digestibility of proteins by denaturing, and starch by gelatinization. High temperature extrusion using SunPring will also destroy anti-nutritional compounds like undesirable enzymes, such as lipoxidases and lipases, microorganisms and trypsin inhibitors.
5) New food modifications are also easily achieved by using our extrusion technology. This technology can modify proteins (animal and vegetable), starch from any sources, and other food materials to come up with unique and new food products.
The most fascinating fact about SunPring extruders is that it can be used for recycling of food wastes during manufacturing into more useful products.
