Modular Screw Combination: Screw elements can be freely assembled or replaced. Clients can adjust screw layouts to produce grain-based feed, high-meat formula food, and hypoallergenic pet snacks without changing the whole host machine.
Independent Temperature Control: Equipped with separate heating zones, adjustable temperature range from 80°C to 180°C. Real-time temperature monitoring prevents local overheating, keeping stable feed texture and nutrition.
Food-Grade Structure: All parts touching raw materials adopt 304 stainless steel. Anti-rust, anti-corrosion, and easy to wash, fully meet FDA, CE, and other international food safety standards.
Frequency Conversion Drive System: Feeding motor, main screw motor, and cutting motor all support variable frequency speed regulation. Operators adjust production speed accurately without frequent machine shutdown.
Closed Dust-Free Feeding Channel: A totally sealed material conveying pipeline reduces powder flying and raw material waste, keeping the workshop clean and lowering material loss costs.
Advantages of High-Performance Twin Screw Extruder
Formula Compatibility Foodline Twin Screw Extrusion Processing Machine supports formulas with up to 25% fat or 40% fresh meat. Compared with single-screw machines, the production failure rate caused by material blocking drops over 60%.
Low Energy Consumption All frequency conversion motors save 20%-30% electricity consumption per ton of finished feed. Self-wiping screws reduce residual raw materials during formula switching, cutting material waste loss.
Stable Pellet Quality Uniform expansion degree and consistent pellet texture enhance pet food palatability. Better feed taste helps brands gain more customer repurchases and stable market sales.
Flexible Layout Foodline professional engineers provide free customized layout drawings. The extruder can be arranged in a linear or compact layout to fit limited factory height and floor space.
Feeding and Conveying Stage: Mixed raw materials are fed evenly into the extrusion chamber via a variable-frequency system. The twin screws rotate synchronously, ensuring smooth and continuous material flow without blockage.
Mixed Shearing: The intermeshing screws provide thorough shearing and mixing, achieving a uniform blend of all components.
Heating, Curing, and Pressurization Stages: Materials are heated by external and friction-generated heat. Rising pressure promotes starch gelatinization and protein restructuring, preparing the mixture for shaping.
Extrusion Molding: The material is pushed through the die under controlled pressure and temperature. The mold determines the product’s final shape—round, bone-shaped, or strips.
Expansion and Fixed-Length Cutting: Upon exiting the die, rapid pressure release causes expansion. A rotating knife cuts the product into uniform lengths before sending it to the drying system.
