In short

Many foods, from powders and mixes to prepared foods and beverages, benefit from the functionality of extruded ingredients. Clextral twin-screw extrusion lines offer a wide range of innovative tools and process enhancements to facilitate the creative use and efficient delivery of food ingredients.

Bread crumbs

Extruded bread crumbs can be processed from a large range of raw materials. They are defined as cereal-based foods and represent a very broad range of products depending upon composition and physico-chemical characteristics. Extrusion cooking enables precise cooking parameters and control of expansion to create customized products for many applications.

Infant cereals

Clextral twin-screw cooking extrusion lines are particularly well suited to manufacture cereal-based foods and flours that nourish babies and children 4 months and older. With the addition of water, the prepared products have an easily digestible porridge consistency. Extrusion enables precisely controlled cooking of the raw materials to ensure consistent quality and optimum food safety, and gives manufacturers flexibility to process a wide range of recipes.

Modified flours

Also called pre-cooked flours, modified flours add nutrition and functional properties such as thickening or texture to many foods. The precise processing features of Clextral extrusion lines allow manufacturers to use a variety of raw materials or a wide range of products. This process makes it possible to transform natural flours into nutritious and easily digestible starches. Depending on the thermo-mechanical treatment applied, it is possible to obtain products with different viscosity ranges.

Flavours

Aromatic compounds and flavors are encapsulated using twin screw extrusion to maintain their stability and enhance functionality This process involves the dispersion of the flavouring substance in a matrix under the influence of thermo-mechanical extrusion process. The flavour release during the consumption of the food is excellent, thanks to the solubility in the environment (water, saliva…) of the glassy matrix in which aroma is encapsulated.

Caseinates

Caseinates processed by twin screw extrusion include calcium caseinate, sodium caseinate, potassium caseinate. The excellent micro mixing of the twin-screw extruder in the interpenetration zone of the two screws results in an effective mixture between the acid casein and the alkali. The process works in a concentrated phase and our extruders ensure accurate regulation of the time temperature to control the rate of progress of the conversion reaction and maintain the functional properties of the proteins.

Porous, free-flowing powders

Porous powders with advanced functionality and improved rehydration are processed using continuous twin-screw technology. This process, also called Extrusion Porosification Technology (EPT™) is used for drying concentrates into textured powders to provide them with new functions. The extruder is configured to continuously process highly viscous and heat-sensitive products, using mechanical action adapted to the function (mixing, limited shearing, controlled residence time) and precise temperature control. EPT™ increases drying efficiency by accelerating material and heat transfers.
