CO-EXTRUDER HAVING A FILLING ENTRANCE FROM THE REAR

摘要

A cutter assembly (1) for an extruder includes an elongated extrusion member (3) having an open feed end. The open feed end (16) is attachable in fluid communication with the extruder for supplying a mash to said elongated extrusion member (3). An extrusion die (13) is supported on a front of the elongated extrusion member (3). The extrusion die (13) includes an extrusion outlet (17) formed therein. A filling tube (7) is mounted on a rear of the elongated extrusion member (3) and is attachable in fluid communication with the extruder for supplying a filling to the filling tube (7). A cutter member (19) has a drivable end and a cutter blade (20) with a cutting surface for cutting extrudate to a desired length as the extrudate exits the extrusion die (13). The cutter member (19) is operably connectable at the drivable end to a drive device of the extruder for reciprocatably sliding the cutting surface of the cutter blade (20) over and away from the outlet of the extrusion die (13).
