TECHNICAL SUPPORT ALL OVER THE WORLD

We manufacture equipment that can be easily integrated into a complete line of textured products, tailored to the specific needs of our customers.

Processing stages:

crushing and sorting of raw materials;
adding dry and liquid components;
extruding the mixture;
creating the shape of the product;
cooling;
packaging.

The purpose of creating textured products

Texturates are a substitute for meat for human nutrition:

a quick-cooking product, rich in protein and low in fat
used in vegetarian and oriental cuisines

Raw material requirements

oil content of the meal – 0.5…2%;
protein in the meal – from 45% (in terms of absolutely dry matter);
pdi – from 50 units

In addition, the high protein content in the meal visually improves the fibrous structure of the texturate and its hydroscopicity.

Line operating conditions:

power line (in the workshop): min 120 kW;
production area: min 250 m²;
raw material warehouse area: min 200 m²;
cake storage area: min 200 m².

SEQUENCE OF WORK

Raw material preparation:

Raw material cleaning: according to storage standards;
Pre-grinding: up to 1-3 mm;
Fat content at the input: min 2.5%.

Conditioning:

Raw material heating: 70-90 °C;
Moisture input: max 60 kg/h;
Fat input: max 5 kg/h.

Extrusion:

Crushing, mixing, compression of raw materials in the working body;
Heating of raw materials: up to 100-140 °C;
Plasticization;
Increase in the volume of the product at the outlet of the working body;
Formation of the shape and size of the granule.

Texture formation:

Product shape: due to the die outlet;
Product thickness: due to the cutter rotation speed.

Drying:

gentle drying at temperatures up to 60-70 °C;
drying to 8-10%.

Cooling:

provides a temperature max 10 °C above ambient temperature.

LAYOUT SOLUTIONS

Our equipment meets your space

ENVISION & PREDICT

Making a layout ahead of time helps you picture the project. It also gives you a clear idea of what is needed for construction, where equipment will go, how much energy will be used, and how materials will move through the facility.

It helps answer these questions:

if your premises, territory, access roads and power substation are suitable for the implementation of the project;
what is the project budget.

LAYOUT SOLUTION - WHAT IS IT?

Includes:

our specialist’s visit to your site;
measuring the premises;
coordinating your vision, capabilities and resources;
making a draft of the technological line – for the conditions of your site;
preparing a specification of the necessary equipment – for your conditions.
