Equipment innovations and automated process controls are facilitating safer, more efficient dry bulk ingredient handling.

The two companies will combine automation expertise with a sanitary post-extrusion component to improve processing efficiency for pet food applications.

Form and function are equally important at the end of an extruder barrel, where final product is formed.

The company’s new solutions are optimized to reduce fines buildup, improve sanitation and maximize powder transfer.

Cold extrusion can be used for a wide range of products, including those containing sensitive ingredients as it minimizes heat processing to preserve nutrient quality.

The patented development could help processors in a variety of industries reduce the risk of foodborne illness.

Solutions for fine-tuning drying processes are helping processors maximize overall efficiency.
