Contract manufacturing in the food sector

This is how processing proceeds in brief, from the raw material through its extrusion in the extruder to the packaging of the finished product.

Erbacher Food Intelligence Extrusion Technology

Mixing & Kneading

Erbacher 2022 Marc Jacquemin 0378 Bearb
Dry raw materials, such as flours and spices, are mixed to create an individual recipe.

Extrusion – Shaping & Molding

Erbacher 2022 Marc Jacquemin 0934
The dry flour mixture is kneaded into a homogeneous dough mass with the addition of water and under the influence of pressure and heat and then continuously pressed out of a small nozzle opening. The number, shape and size of the nozzles can vary according to customer requirements – giving each product its individual appearance. The resulting pressure drop during the extrusion process causes the water to evaporate, resulting in a pore-like formation of the product's structure.

Drying & Coating

Erbacher 2022 Marc Jacquemin 1230
After leaving the die, the extrudates are dried and, if necessary, further surface treated with a water- or oil-based spray solution with the addition of spices and aromas.

Packaging

Depending on customer requirements, the extrudates are now packed in cartons or big bags.

Your Opportunities

Our extrudates can be used in a wide range of applications. They can be used as an ingredient for further processing – for example, as a crunchy component in pralines, cereal mixes, or bars. They’re also suitable for coating or as ready-to-eat products such as breakfast cereals or snacks. And they work perfectly as textured plant protein for your sustainable meat alternative. Let us inspire you!

How about, for example:

  • protein-rich snacks
  • gluten-free breakfast cereals
  • coated spelt-chocolate hearts
  • conventional spelt grids with paprika flavour

... or something entirely different?
