Twin screw extruder
Corn flaking twin screw extruder has strong material handling capacity
- Wide range of applications: It can process a variety of corn raw materials, including corn of different varieties, moisture content and grain size, and can also add other grains or additives for mixed processing.
- Uniform and stable feeding: The twin-screw design enables the material to be evenly transported to the extrusion chamber during the feeding process, avoiding the problem of uneven feeding that may occur in single-screw extruders and ensuring the continuity and stability of production.
Corn flake twin screw extruder has good extrusion effect
- High degree of cooking: The twin screws rotate in the puffing chamber, subjecting the corn material to sufficient shearing, extrusion and friction. The material can be cooked quickly and evenly under high temperature and high pressure, thus improving the digestibility and absorption rate of the corn flakes.
- Stable product quality: The temperature, pressure and residence time during the puffing process can be precisely controlled to ensure the stable quality of each batch of corn flakes, and the consistency of the product's taste, color and shape.
High production efficiency
- High output: The structural design of the corn flaking twin-screw extruder enables it to have a large material handling capacity, can achieve continuous production, and has a high output per hour, which can meet the needs of large-scale production.
- Energy saving and high efficiency: Compared with some traditional puffing equipment, the corn flaking twin-screw extruder has lower energy consumption at the same output. Through reasonable screw combination and process parameter optimization, it can effectively improve energy utilization and reduce production costs.
Corn flaking twin screw extruder has strong operating flexibility
- Parameter adjustability: By adjusting screw speed, barrel temperature, die aperture and other parameters, corn flakes with different thickness, shape, taste and flavor can be produced to meet the diverse needs of the market.
- Quick mold change: Equipped with a quick mold change device, the mold can be quickly replaced when the product specifications or varieties need to be changed, reducing equipment downtime and improving production efficiency.
Corn flake twin screw extruder with high degree of automation
- Advanced control system: The use of advanced automatic control system can realize accurate monitoring and automatic operation of the entire production process, reduce manual intervention, reduce labor intensity, and also improve the safety and reliability of production.
- Fault diagnosis function: It has fault diagnosis and alarm functions, which can promptly detect problems during equipment operation and prompt operators to handle them, thus reducing equipment downtime and improving equipment utilization.
Working principle of corn flaking twin screw extruder
The twin screws rotate in the puffing chamber, pushing the corn material forward. The material is compacted in the feeding section. After entering the compression melting section, the material begins to melt due to the change in the spiral structure, external heating, strong stirring, mixing, and shearing, until it is completely melted. In the uniform section, the material is evenly distributed to the mold plate through the diverter plate. At this time, the pressure is usually 3~6Mpa and the temperature can reach 150~200℃. When the material is extruded from the die hole, the pressure is quickly released, the free water evaporates rapidly, and the material expands and solidifies.
