Food Extruder
Coperion has developed a hybrid solution for its ZSK Food Extruder for manufacturing meat substitute products. Both texturized vegetable protein (TVP) and high moisture meat analogues (HMMA) can be produced on the same ZSK Food Extruder, providing manufacturers of meat substitutes maximum flexibility to react to changing market demands profitably, even on short notice.
Using a newly developed adapter solution from Coperion, the ZSK Food Extruder’s discharge can now be changed over from a ZGF to a cooling die in record time. The machine’s operator can perform the changeover. The same principle functions apply in reverse when performing product changeovers from an HMMA process to TVP.
