EXTRUDER FOR COOKING AND FORMING FOOD PRODUCTS

摘要

The invention relates to an auger type extrusion device for the production of starch based food products. The food products are partially cooked by compression and independent heat sources as they are transported by the auger (11) along a barrel (12) and through a forming die head (13). The barrel, die head, and auger are temperature-controlled by heating or cooling fluids fed through passages (38a, 45) in these components.
