Extruded products can cover most of our meals throughout the day, satisfying all needs in terms of shape, color and nutrients. GEA’s technology allows to produce every kind of extruded product according to market trends and customer needs.
Cutting-edge snack and breakfast technology solutions from GEA
GEA offers a comprehensive range of machinery tailored for the production of breakfast cereals, snacks pellets, and direct expanded snacks, catering to a wide spectrum of consumer preferences and customers needs. From staple breakfast options like corn flakes and choco balls to popular snacks such as potato chips and 3D chips, GEA's advanced technology ensures precise shaping and consistent quality.
With snack pellet technology enabling the use of various raw materials, including cereal flours, root starches, and precooked ingredients like potato flakes, GEA empowers manufacturers to create innovative formulations with unique characteristics such as high fiber content or multigrain compositions.
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.
