6.6.1. Single screw extruder
Based on the no of screw in the barrel
The single screw extruder is an entry-level machine for small-scale operations. A large proportion of the expanded animal feed and modified raw materials such as soya bean and corn for feed purposes use single screw extrusion. The heat required to successfully cook the material relies upon the mechanical energy applied to the ingredients. This extruder is normally incorporated in a complete system with a hammer mill, mixer and cooler.
