Marshmallow Pellet Extrusion Testing
How Bonnot's test room used a cooker extruder to develop a low-density marshmallow pellet that floats on water — and what it took to get there.
One of The Bonnot Company’s core competencies is our custom engineering. Oftentimes our competitors take the “one size fits all” approach to extrusion solutions. Our philosophy has always been and continues to be, modify an existing machine, or develop a brand-new design to achieve a customer’s objective. It is a strategic advantage for us.
Often we are approached with a new material, a new challenge, something that may not have been extruded successfully before
we accept the challenge, testing different configurations until we find the optimal solution, and then design and build a custom extruder
this gives the customer unique technology that best suits their process and offers a competitive advantage over their competition
