Wear-resistant extrusion twin-screw POLYtwin™

for the food industry

Overview
Our multifunctional PolyTwin, EcoTwin and CompacTwin twin-screw extruders provide flexible, reliable 24/7 processing for breakfast cereals, food ingredients, pet food and aqua feed products, with a modular design enabling machine configuration for specific applications.

Key benefits

• Low-cost lifetime operation: Highly wear-resistant barrel interior extends service life; a barrel wear measurement service detects wear early so parts are replaced only when needed.
• Wide range of applications: High torque, variable screw speeds and adjustable pressure parameters provide process flexibility; modular design supports customization for different products.
• Advanced process control: Intelligent recipe memory ensures consistent end-product quality, reduces operator errors and accelerates recipe changeovers.

Product features

• Robust, fully automatic screw ejection unit: Patented hydraulic ejection removes entrenched screws without disassembling the machine or conveyor pipes, reducing downtime and speeding restart.
• Highly flexible cutter: Cutter adjustable during operation to maintain consistent product quality; movable to one side for easier access and cleaning.
• Two-stage preconditioner: Separates mixing and retention zones to provide intensive mixing at high screw speeds and gentle retention at low screw speeds for consistent quality.

Applications

• Breakfast cereals
• Food ingredients
• Pet food
• Aqua feed
