FLOURS MIXING
The flours are mixed and loaded into the line mixer.

EXTRUSION
The flours are hydrated into the mixing tank. The dough is conveyed to the extrusion cylinder where the transport-cooking stage takes place. The dough can be directly extruded into a die-cut pellet or a sheet for potato-based pellets or roughly cut to be sent to a forming machine for cereal-based pellets: a cereal-based dough needs more cooking and higher working parameters and forming is possible only after cooling during transport into a forming machine. The extrusion of a single or double sheet allows the production of flat pellets cut at distance or 3D pellets formed into the MIS machine that processes two sheets coupling them .

PRE-DRYING
The product undergoes a first drying stage into a shaker pre-dryer passing through vibrating floors to reduce moisture.

DRYING
This drying process is carried out in two stages. In the first one the product is fast dried through hot air, while, in the second stage the drying process is slower and gentler to get ideal water migration to the outer surface.

COOLING
The moisture is stabilized by the final cooling section.
