GEA xTru Twin Series

The GEA xTru Twin Series is the twin extruder with the highest power and widest range of final products, with a capacity of 1,2 tons/h of cereal based pellets snacks. It's equipped with a high speed premixer for a perfect hydration of flours, a large mixing vessel ensuring the dough to properly absorb water and a vertical forced feeding screw to control the dough feeding to the cooking screw.

The powerful variable speed motor is equipped with safety clutch, a double cascade gearbox with high torque. Its design with long modular barrel and co-rotating fully intermeshing twin screws guarantees a proper cooking of the cereal based dough: the best combination between time, temperature and mechanical work input. GEA designed a completely new frame with ergonomic design: stable, sturdy and easy to clean.

After dosing, the raw materials enter the mixing phase, which can be adjusted according to product needs. Thereafter comes the extrusion section. The GEA xTru Twin Series extruder is a modular machine featuring a segmented barrel, with different heating and cooling systems. They can be equipped with feeding a port, a steam/liquid injection port or a venting port (atmospheric and under vacuum according to specific needs).
