摘要： Visually distinct, flaked Ready-to-Eat (“R-T-E”) cereal products with varied texture and thickness are produced by forming a cereal dough and forcing the same through an extrusion die assembly including various spaced openings which establish a plurality of dough streams which are merged prior to reaching a die outlet. Directly at the die outlet, a resulting dough extrudate is sliced by a cutter unit to form dough discs which are then dried and cooled, during which the discs curl and form cereal flakes having varying textures defined, at least in part, by distinct sets of surface bumps. The number and configuration of the bumps can be altered by changing the number, shape and/or position of the various spaced openings of the die assembly, while the thicknesses of the resulting cereal flakes can be varied by just altering an operational speed of the cutter unit.

摘要： A mechanism (10) includes a slide plate (32) having die openings (38) adapted to hold dies (42a, 42b) and slideable relative to a cooker/extruder (12). Rotary cutters (74, 174) are rotatably mounted relative to and moveable with the dies (42a, 42b). In one preferred form, a motor (76) can be connected and disconnected to the rotary cutter (74) aligned with the cooker/extruder (12) by moving a male coupling (96) within or out of a female coupling (108). In another preferred form, the rotary cutter (174) is mounted to and carried exclusively by a center shaft (180) fixed to the die (42a, 42b) and includes provisions (187, 191) located within a housing (183) for rotating the housing (183) on the center shaft (180). Thus, it is not necessary to shut down the cooker/extruder (12) to service or change the dies (42a, 42b) and/or the rotary cutters (74, 174). An annular wear plate (134) is sandwiched between the slide plate (32) and a frame element (18) having a central aperture (126) into which the barrel (14) of the cooker/extruder (12) is slideably received. A center plate (130) extends through the wear plate (134) and is received within the central aperture (126) and is fastened to the barrel (14). Mixer elements (59) are retained in the subpassageways (124) of the barrel (14) by the center plate (130) and can be removed through one of the die openings (38) when the die (42a, 42b) is removed therefrom and without removal of the barrel (14) from the frame element (18).
