Extru-Tech, Inc. products

The broad line of Extrusion Cooking Systems from Extru-Tech Inc. has evolved from numerous years of innovative engineering, metallurgical advancement, and the evolution of superior manufacturing processes. From the beginning, the overriding goal of the Extru-Tech engineering staff has been to design an extrusion cooking system that will yield high production levels of premium quality products. Whether it’s snack, pet, aquatic or animal feed production, Extru-Tech Extruders are the most efficient single screw extrusion cooking systems available on the market. From unprecedented production capacities to exacting finished product quality, Extru-Tech Extrusion Cooking Systems have established the industry standards for performance and value.

Extru-Tech’s new Advanced Feature Vertical Cooler maintains cooling technology for pet foods, aquaculture feeds and feed. The Advanced Feature Vertical Cooler is designed to reduce operational cost, while maintaining a consistent and safe finished product

The Aseptic Dual Preconditioner enables the operator to incorporate a combination of low steam pressure injected at multiple inlets and adjustable product retention time. This provides the system operator with a whole new level of product quality control.

Extru-Tech horizontal dryers are the leading industry tool for the production of a diverse range of food and feed products, including pet and aquatic foods and foods for human consumption. Extru-Tech has taken dryer technology to the next level with the new Advanced Feature Dryer, which features improved performance and new sanitary dryer features.

The revolutionary Sphere-izer Agglomeration System™ (SAS™) is designed to produce starter fish feeds with nutritionally homogenous particles sized as small as 300 microns. The SAS™ process produces particle sizes smaller than traditional single or twin screw extrusion technologies. As the photos clearly demonstrate, the system is designed to provide more uniform and nutritionally homogenous particles than traditional pellet crumbling systems.

Competitive market pressures require continual innovations in production technology to maintain an edge over the competition. The Multi-Color/Multi-Shape Die System from Extru-Tech, Inc. is designed to provide immediate return on investment and provide a technical advantage the competition simply can’t match using existing technology. The Multi-Color/Multi-Shape Die System (U.S Patent No. 6719448) is exclusive technology engineered specifically for single screw cooking extruders. The revolutionary design of the die assembly allows the production of multiple colors and multiple shapes simultaneously.

Extru-Tech® provides one of the world`s most comprehensive pre/post extrusion ancillary equipment line-ups.

The ETI Batch Coating System was designed to handle up to 40,000 pounds/hour at batch sizes of 2,500 pounds at 63% fill level. Even at this high rate, the batch coater provides 3.75 minutes of product retention time, which far exceeds the retention time of a traditional, continuous coating system. Batch retention times of up to 5 minutes are seen when operating near 24,000 lbs/hour production rates.

SABETHA, KS — Dramatic reductions in maintenance costs and downtime are just two of the benefits of a new Self-Adjusting Die/Knife Cutter System from Extru-Tech, Inc. Equally important, the new advanced feature cutter head can be used across the full spectrum of wear plates.
