Protein Extrusion Equipment
Twin-screw extrusion machines producing textured soya protein nuggets and chunks for the food industry.
A soya nuggets making machine uses a twin-screw extruder to cook defatted soya flour under heat and pressure, restructuring the protein into a fibrous, meat-like texture as it's forced through a shaping die and expands on exit.
The extruded rope is cut into nuggets or chunks in-line, then moves directly to drying to lock in texture and extend shelf life before packing.
Our machines offer precise control over screw speed, temperature zones and moisture injection — the key variables that determine nugget texture and density — so output stays consistent batch after batch.
SS 304 food-contact parts and a PLC control panel keep the line hygienic and easy to operate. Pair with our continuous conveyor dryer to complete the production line.
