Food Extrusion
Three-Tec's twin-screw extruders are versatile tools used for producing expanded snack products, textured vegetable proteins (TVP), and high moisture meat analogues (HMMA). They are suitable for both small-scale research and development and larger production volumes. The extruders feature interchangeable screws that can be customized for specific tasks, such as conveying or mixing. Key features include steep temperature gradients, scalability, intuitive touch panel operation, and easy data output via USB. All product-contact parts are stainless steel, ensuring hygiene and durability.
The extruders offer a compact design, easy cleaning with a split barrel, and high experimental efficiency due to minimal cleaning requirements. They are ideal for formulation trials due to the small batch sizes needed.
Models ZE 12 and ZE 18 offer throughputs of 2.5 kg/h and 10 kg/h, respectively, with maximum torques of 20 Nm and 60 Nm. They are lightweight and compact, making them suitable for laboratory settings.
Models range from ZE 18 to ZE 100, with throughputs from 10 kg/h to 4000 kg/h and maximum torques from 60 Nm to 6000 Nm. These models are designed for larger scale production and feature mobile frames and efficient drive technology.
Extruder pilot plants include features like volumetric/gravimetric feeding, stuffing feeding devices, and cooling dies. Accessories include cooling dies with adjustable slots and optional sight glasses, as well as hot cutters and conveyor belts.

Three-Tec GmbH | Birren 20 | CH-5703 Seon | Switzerland | www.three-tec.ch Food Extrusion utilisation From expanded snack products to textured vegetable proteins (TVP) to wet extrudates or high moisture meat analogues (HMMA). Three-Tec's twin-screw (co-rotating) extruders are excellent for both small-volume production for research and development applications as well as production quantities. The extruders are equipped with easily exchangeable extrusion screws, which can be individually structured and adapted to the extrusion task by different segments such as conveying, reverse conveying, kneading or mixing segments. The temperature profiles of the individual heating zones and the torque of the motor are recorded and can be read out via USB or Ethernet interface. advantages > Steep temperature gradients possible > Scale Up suitable > Intuitive operation via touch panel > Easy data output thanks to USB connection > All parts in contact with the product are made of stainless steel > Simple barrel mounting with only one clamping ring > Barrel freely accessible for additional sensors > Very compact design > Completely enclosed drive > Hygienic design > Split barrel for easy cleaning and process analysis > High experimental efficiency due to low cleaning effort > Very small batch sizes required, perfect for formulation trials All information without guarantee | * Throughput depending on various factors
