Dipping Chips Get a Makeover Thanks to Extruding Technology

Jan. 20, 2011
Clextral's die and cutter technology provides the tools to create innovative three dimensional shapes for snack manufacturers.

Taking the dipping chip concept to a new level of sophistication, Clextral is offering new technology for creating extruded snacks that combines style and crunch with generous dip-handling capacity, creating a new niche for snack manufacturers. 

Clextral can make dipping chips with ridged designs that add structural strength for heavy dipping, or open celled snacks with a broad shape and light crunch for soft dips. The twin screw extruders' flexibility allows precise adjustments in each processing parameter. Processing technology can craft snacks with specific attributes such as texture, mouthfeel, and cell structure to make each product unique.
