Food Forming Extruders
We have a long history with manufacturing extruders to process food, pet food and treats
The Bonnot Company has manufactured extruders to form, shape and cut food products for many years, with installations worldwide. Our designs are configured with counter rotating devices called ‘packers’ in the hopper to avoid bridging of the sometimes-sticky formulas. The systems can be designed to either heat or cool depending on food forming requirements.
Used for pet food, protein bars, snacks, cereals, thc and hemp products, and many more.
Extruder Design Features
- Jacketed barrel(s) for temperature processing control
- Various screw geometries available
- The length-to-diameter {L/D} ratio can be changed to optimize the process
- Hollow screw with rotary union for temperature control available on sizes 4" and above
- Many die options available including multi-hole, single orifice and co-extrusion
