Key Facts
- Preconditioners for Extrusion Single- and twin-shaft preconditioners for hydrating and homogenizing materials before extrusion. They allow the addition of steam, water, or oils for optimal process conditions and consistent product quality.
- About coating machines: These machines are widely used in various industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, and materials manufacturing, to enhance texture, flavor, shelf life, or the physical properties of the products.
- Types of coatings: Liquid Coating To add aromas and flavors, oils and animal fats are used, up to 12% in atmospheric coating. Powder Coating Used in pet food, the powder is applied to intensify the flavor and make the product more palatable.
