FIBRATEDPROTEINS BY HIGH MOISTURE EXTRUSION (HME) TWIN-SCREW EXTRUSION LINE > Fibrous texture similar to that of meat or fish > Three die options available > High production throughput, up to 1200 kg/hour with the HCD die TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW 2025 © Clextral - Please do not litter - Images for illustration purposes only HME technology enables the transformation of plant or animal proteins into products with a meat-like texture, offering a wide range of characteristics in terms of fiber structure, surface appearance, color, texture, flavor, and product size. These wet fibrated proteins serve as a base ingredient for novel protein products, used in vegetarian or vegan dishes or further processed into ready-to-eat meals. Nutritionally balanced, the recipes incorporate plant-based proteins from sources such as soy, cereals, or legumes. Fish or meat based raw materials can also be used for human or animal consumption. COMPLETEFIBRATED PROTEINS PRODUCTION LINE Process basics of HME: > HME, High Moisture Extrusion technology allows the continuous transformation of protein-rich raw materials under high moisture conditions (50 to 80%) and to generate a fiber like texture thanks to controlled and optimized heat transfer. > The twin screw extruder mixes and cooks the protein-rich ingredients under tightly controlled parameters. The processed mixture is then pushed through a long temperature controlled die that enhance cross-linkage of proteins and formation of fiber like texture.

RAW MATERIAL MIXING & FEEDING EXTRUSION PLATFORM Thermomechanical mixing & cooking of protein-rich material COOLING DIE Shaping & flow induced die fibration of protein melt PRESENTATION OF 3 DIES 1. HCD (High Capacity Die) The High Capacity Die, equipped with a double parallel output, doubles the capacity of the machine, up to 1200 kg/hour. The two product bands come out of the matrix at the same speed, continuous flow, without return pump. These two strips of product have the same characteristics of stretch, hardness and fibration. The quality of the product is stable and constant. The process...
