We develop complementary technologies compatible with extrusion lines to extend the range of products and add new ones that consumers are looking for. These technologies are either supplied with our classic production lines from the start, or proposed in the form of “complementary upgrade kits” for installation on existing lines.

Our croutons (bread snacks) kit is easy to install and enables the conversion of snack lines, which are directly expanded to produce continuously-extruded croutons.
