Extrusion machinery and equipment
In recent years, puffed food has developed rapidly and has become a single food category. There are also many types of food puffing machines, which are the main processing method for puffed food. Compared with foreign countries, China's extrusion technology is still relatively backward. The production capacity, processability, and operability of the equipment are relatively poor. During the design and production process, changes in unknown factors largely depend on the combination of empirical data and formulas.
The evaluation of puffing machinery and equipment begins with the following considerations
1. High production capacity and low unit energy consumption.
2. Strong adaptability to raw materials.
3. It has a complete control system that can accurately coordinate and control various movements of the extruder, ensuring that the temperature, pressure, screw speed, and output parameters are strictly maintained within the range specified by the process conditions, and can meet the required product requirements. CT quality can be achieved.
4. Under conditions of long equipment service life, the wear resistance of the screw and barrel under prolonged high temperatures is one of the major extrusion challenges.
5. The machine needs to have sufficient strength and rigidity, with a reasonable and compact structure, good operational and maintenance performance, and low maintenance costs.
6. Machining accuracy of parts and electrical devices, quality of purchased components, etc.
7. Equipment appearance, noise, vibration, volume, etc.
8. Investigate whether the equipment manufacturer has production conditions, equipment certification certificates, enterprise standards, and other relevant materials.
Additionally, extrusion machinery is a type of processing equipment with relatively strong adaptability. However, for a screw with a specific geometric structure, the materials it can process are limited. Once the type, composition of the material, and the quality of the product are determined, there is only one suitable extrusion machine. Therefore, the adaptability range of extrusion machinery is limited. Extrusion machinery is an important piece of equipment in the production line and can operate independently. However, its process effectiveness is directly influenced by the performance of the auxiliary processing equipment before and after it. In fact, if not handled properly, the extrusion machinery may fail to operate normally. Hence, a reasonable equipment selection not only involves properly choosing the main extruder but also requires attention to the matching of auxiliary equipment on the production line and the determination of process parameters. The Datong Company, integrating advanced domestic and international technologies, has developed food extruders that have been favored by many customers over the years. Engineers will assist in configuring suitable supporting equipment for the food extruder based on customer needs.
