A plurality of extruder processing elements are mounted on two screw shafts configured to rotate in two respective first and second bores. The arrangement defines a clearance between the screw shaft and the housing. The housing defines an extruder inlet proximate the inlet end and an extruder outlet proximate the outlet end. The housing further defines a liquid outlet proximate the inlet end and wherein the housing is inclined at an angle to a horizontal axis such that the liquid outlet is below the horizontal axis and the extruder outlet is above the horizontal axis.</p> |
