Our story with Food and Food packaging started when...
...We supplied, in 2011, our 21mm twin screw extruder to Symphony, a UK key player in the field of biodegradable food containers.
Since then, we have had several opportunities to promote HME in order to create highly personalized food products tailored to specific dietary needs or remote locations, including nutrient-dense options designed for individual health requirements. All of this thanks to precise control over food texture, structure, and nutrient release while improving the solubility and stability of bioactive compounds and enhancing the bioavailability of nutrients, which results in higher absorption rates of essential vitamins, minerals, and functional ingredients.
Additionally, vertical extrusion is revolutionizing the production of bioactive films, a cutting-edge advancement in active packaging technology. These films interact with food, offering real-time antimicrobial and antioxidant properties that extend product freshness and shelf life. The ability to incorporate bioactive compounds within packaging also helps to reduce spoilage and waste (not only food waste but also packaging waste) and improve the overall environmental footprint of food processing.
Both our horizontal and vertical extruders enable the development of innovative functional foods, gluten-free alternatives, and plant-based meat analogues that closely mimic the texture and taste of real meat as well as many other new food applications by providing improved precision, scalability, and efficiency, making it a versatile technology for creating consistent, high-quality products across multiple food categories.
