New 18-Nozzle Rotating Die Design Increases Throughput Capacity Up to 33%
Reading Bakery Systems presents 18-Nozzle Rotating Die Design for high capacity snack extrusion
Reading Bakery Systems (RBS), one of the world’s leading manufacturers of snack production systems, has designed a new 18-nozzle rotating die for increased throughput capacity.
Depending on the size of the finished snack product, the new 18-nozzle design increases throughput capacity up to 33% on the same size production line when compared to the 12- nozzle die that has been available to the industry for 40 years.
The rotating nozzle die creates spirally wound shapes while continuously extruding a rope of dough that is then cut into the popular twisted pretzel and stick products. The number of rotations made, and the speed of the extrusion can be controlled independently thus creating the possibility for a wide array of product shapes and textures.
Additionally, the new design has incorporated gear-driven nozzles constructed of stainless steel with the internal nozzle inserts constructed of FDA approved sanitary plastics.
These new components utilize a food-grade semi-solid lubricant, instead of gear oil, that virtually eliminates the possibility of product contamination. The rotating nozzle die mounts directly onto all standard RBS Low Pressure Extruders to expand the systems flexibility.
