The twin screw extruder ZSK Mv Plus creates many types of food and pet food products. The process section consists of several barrels in which the co-rotating screws operate. The closely intermeshing screws with their tight self-wiping profile eliminate stagnant zones over the whole length of the process section. The effect of this is a constantly high conveying efficiency and self-cleaning. Its modular design and unusual combination of free screw volume, screw speed and torque enable this unit to be individually configured for every application. The complete portfolio includes a wide range of sizes, allowing customers to process any required throughput range from laboratory to production scale.
