Overview
The document provides an overview of the Co-Ex Master™ Systems by Baker Perkins, highlighting its low cost of ownership, rapid setup, and semi-automated cleaning features that reduce downtime and waste. The system allows for individual adjustment of case and filling, enabling precise weight control and maintenance of product dimensions.

Co-Ex Master™ Systems
The Co-Ex Master™ Systems can convert any twin-screw extruder into a line for producing high-value center-filled products. The technology is easy to install and operate, offering a high return on investment, especially when used for innovative cereal products. Development work for new products or process improvements can be conducted at the Baker Perkins Innovation Centre.

Rapid Return on Investment
Upgrading an extrusion line with Co-Ex Master™ requires minimal equipment and no extensive plant modifications, adding significant value to products and ensuring a rapid return on investment.

Product Variety

Co-Extrusion Die
The die combines extrudate and filling into concentric streams with individually controllable flows for consistency and weight control. The seam can be positioned on the bottom to enhance appearance.

Cream Feed
The system ensures accurate weight control with a recirculating ring main and individual progressive cavity pumps. Temperature-controlled hoppers maintain cream quality.

Cleaning System
A highly effective assisted cleaning system uses a boost pump to flush water through pumps and pipework, guided by HMI prompts.

Pillow Crimper
The crimper uses adjustable rolls to create interlocking shapes, with easy operation and cleaning facilitated by portable design and stainless steel construction.

Industry 4.0 Ready
The system is designed to be compatible with Industry 4.0 standards, ensuring modern and efficient operation.
