What are the performance advantages of twin-screw puffing machines

In the food processing industry, twin-screw puffing machines have become the preferred equipment for many manufacturers due to their excellent performance and wide applicability. This article will provide a detailed analysis of the advantages and performance of twin-screw puffing machines, helping readers gain a deeper understanding of this efficient and stable food processing equipment.
1、 Wide adaptability of raw materials
The twin-screw puffing machine has excellent adaptability to raw materials, and can handle various types of raw materials such as high viscosity, low viscosity, high fat content, and high moisture. Compared to single screw puffing machines, twin-screw puffing machines have higher stability and efficiency in processing complex raw materials, effectively avoiding the slipping phenomenon of raw materials during processing.
2、 Small granularity limit
The twin-screw puffing machine has relatively small particle size restrictions on raw materials and can process raw materials ranging from micro powder to coarse powder particles. This gives manufacturers greater flexibility in raw material selection and reduces production costs. At the same time, the twin-screw puffing machine can adjust the screw speed and barrel temperature according to production needs to meet the processing requirements of different particle sizes of raw materials.
3、 Uniform distribution of materials
During the processing, the twin-screw puffing machine ensures uniform distribution of materials within the barrel through precise screw design and optimized process parameters. This helps to ensure the uniformity of internal and external quality of the product and improve the overall quality of the product. In addition, twin-screw puffing machines can also add auxiliary materials such as steam and water during the processing, achieving more precise material ratio control and better processing results.
4、 Good homogenization effect during maturation
During the processing of twin-screw puffing machine, the protein molecules in the raw materials undergo denaturation through the action of high temperature, high pressure and high shear force, forming a tight and porous structure. This structure enables the product to have good maturation and homogenization effects, improving the nutritional value and taste of the product. Especially for starch based raw materials, twin-screw puffing machines can achieve a starch maturation rate of over 95%, ensuring the stability of the product in water and preventing nutrient loss.
5、 High output and low cost
At the same power, twin-screw puffing machines have higher output. This is mainly due to its efficient mixing performance and precise heat control. In addition, the wear of vulnerable parts of twin-screw puffing machines is relatively light, and the cost of accessories is relatively low. At the same time, its good operational stability and low start-up material consumption further reduce production costs.
6、 Easy to operate and clean
The twin-screw puffing machine adopts frequency converter speed regulation, which has strong power, smooth operation, and more energy-saving. Meanwhile, its building block combination structure can be freely combined according to different needs to meet the requirements of different production processes. In addition, the twin-screw puffing machine has a self-cleaning function, and there is no need to disassemble the screw for cleaning after shutdown, greatly simplifying the operation process.
In summary, twin-screw puffing machines have gained widespread application and praise in the food processing industry due to their wide adaptability to raw materials, small particle size restrictions, uniform material distribution, good maturation and homogenization effects, high output, low cost, easy operation, and convenient cleaning.
