Extrusion – Co-Extrusion

Our extruders ensure :

• A stable, constant extrusion speed, even with fluctuations in voltage
• After setting, the Extruder produces continuously without operator intervention
• Easy cleaning
• Minimal maintenance and easy access
• Extrusion of a wide variety of formats
• Precise extrusion, for the optimal functioning of downstream equipment
• User-friendly controls of the Extrudeur via a touch screen (intuitive and multilingual)
• Constant temperature is maintained of the barrel and the compression head via a specific tempering system
• Manual infeed of the Extrudeur or PLC controlled
• Progressive investment possible; options can be added later without modification

Co-Extrusion:

A PROFORM Co-Extruder can make 2 color products simultaneously with single color products, for greater flexibility. For example, a Co-Extruder equipped with 4 outputs, being fed with red and white chewing gum can extrude :

• 4 two color ropes
• 2 red ropes and 2 white ropes
• 2 ropes of 2 colors and 1 white rope and 1 red rope

Also, the sections of these 4 ropes can all be different.

Ranges of Extruders :

Pre-Extruders GPE : iinstalled if necessary in order to well homogenize the product for an optimal infeed of the downstream Extruder.
A GPE can extrude up to 4 product ropes.
Different hopper sizes are available as well as infeed by skip

Extruders GE : forming the final shape of all viscous products, with or without filling.

Extruders CE : forming the final shape of all viscous products, in stainless steel execution

Extruders HE : for hard candy extrusion

Extruder FE : inter-meshing and self-cleaning extrusion screws. Due to this the mechanical warming of the mass is reduced.

Extruders BR : extruding filling of bubble gum or chewy candy into hard candy.
An Extruder BR coupled to a batch roller can make a double filling :

• 1^st filling : chewy candy or chewing gum
• 2^nd filling : semi-liquid (inside the 1st filling) to make lollipops for example…

Filling Options : powder, semi-liquid, bubble gum, chewy candy….

• Powder filling system (installed on the Extruder pressure head)
• Semi-Liquid filling system via a (Filling Pump).
