Breakfast cereals extrusion process lines |
Breakfast cereals process lines with twin-screw extrusion technology
The twin-screw extrusion technology for breakfast cereals has been pioneered by Clextral in the early 1970’s and more than 150 of these extrusion systems have been installed since then.
As technology has improved, the range of prepared cereals has also evolved. So simple cooked oats and cooked flaked corn have given way to sophisticated products like flaked and direct expanded cereals.
Today’s breakfast cereals can be vitamin-rich, high in fiber content, sugar- and syrup-coated, chocolate-flavored, and formed in many appealing shapes including co-extruded cereaks as well.
