A hybrid solution for meat substitute product manufacturers, the Coperion ZSK Mv Plus extruder, offers maximum flexibility. With a minimum of retrofitting effort, both texturized vegetable protein (TVP) and high-moisture meat analogues (HMMA) can be produced on the food extruder.
Using a Coperion adapter solution, the extruder’s discharge can be changed from the ZGF centric pelletizer used for TVP to a specialized cooling die for HMMA. The pelletizer cuts product direct at the nozzle plate, while the cooling die produces a solid strand with textures similar to meat.
