What function does feed extruder have

Extruder belongs to a kind of equipment for processing puffed food. It is a kind of equipment for processing puffed food, such as processing rice, corn, soybean, wheat, etc., in daily life. Its main working principle is the conversion of mechanical energy into heat energy, the heat generated by the rotation of the machine will be squeezed cooked food, after the puffed food is the most obvious characteristic of the larger volume.

What are its functions?

Extruder functions make it widely used in feed, food and industrial fields, extruder (dry method, wet method, single screw or twin screw) as the basis, we introduce one or a group of functions in the process of extruder treatment, these functions are:
Coagulation: In the puffing process, food or feed materials can be tightly bonded into discrete pieces.
Degassing: Food or feed raw materials containing bubbles will be removed in the puffing process.
Dehydration: In the puffing process of general food or feed, the water content will lose 4%-7% on the original basis.
Expansion: The operating conditions and configuration of the extruder can control the density of pet feed and aquatic feed (such as sedimentation or floating).
Gelation: Puffing can gelatinize starch (from various sources, such as tubers or grains) during the processing of food or pet feed.
Grinding action: In the processing of food or feed, raw materials can be ground in an extruder to a certain extent.
Homogenization: The homogenization of a extruder alters the structure of an unattractive material into a more acceptable form.
Mixing effect: in the process of extruding, a variety of extruding machine has a variety of screw to choose from, can make the extrusion machine to produce the desired amount of mixing.
Pasteurization and sterilization: In the process of food or feed puffing, raw materials can be used for Pasteurization and sterilization by puffing technology.
