Flexible extrusion technologies for diverse culinary habits

The diversity of culinary habits around the world requires snack technologies to be highly flexible and capable of adapting to various organoleptic characteristics. Thanks to the flexibility of its range of extruders, GEA extrusion technologies can be used to process both raw materials that require pre-cooking (such as potato-based products) and those that require cooking.

The processing of the former occurs through cold extrusion, while the latter, after being processed in the first step with a cooking extrusion, then move on to the forming phase, where specific dies and inserts resistant to high temperatures give the desired shape to the hot dough before drying.
