The Braibanti/Pavan extruder is designed for the continuous production of short-cut pasta, breakfast cereals, and pet food. The prepared dough is conveyed through a temperature- and moisture-controlled screw extruder toward the die, which ultimately defines the shape of the product. Extrusion takes place under controlled pressure and temperature to ensure consistency and structural integrity. At the end of the extruder, a motorized, speed-controlled rotating knife cuts the extruded product to the desired length.
Prior to extrusion, the dough undergoes a structured preparation process. It begins with a two-step mixing system that combines dry and wet ingredients into a homogeneous mass. This system uses a single mixing arm with directionally adjustable paddles to ensure proper pre-conditioning and hydration. The final stage of preparation takes place in a high-performance mixer/kneader unit, which further develops the dough structure to achieve optimal plasticity, consistency, and elasticity—critical parameters for stable and high-quality extrusion performance.
