Presentation description:

Reducing waste in extruder treat production – Paul Morlock and Matthew Cottam examine the sources of waste in the extrusion of treats and what can be done to minimize or eliminate them. Variability in processing, particularly extruder output, is often poorly controlled or understood, but can be mechanically controlled without individual flow restrictors and manual intervention, thus lowering process variability costs.
