Abstract: Apparatus and method for producing an extruded product (and in particular a food product) comprising a plurality of intertwined or plaited extruded strands (140, 141, 142). The apparatus for producing a plurality of intertwined extruded strands (140, 141, 142), comprising first (4), second (5) and third (6) extrusion die bodies, a first rotor (2), a second rotor (3), and a stator (7) in which the rotors are rotatably mounted about substantially parallel respective axes, and the arrangement being such that in use one of the rotors is caused to rotate and in so doing engages with two of the die bodies to rotate said two die bodies about the axis of said one rotor, and rotation of the other rotor similarly causes two of the die bodies to be rotated about the axis of that other rotor, and in which each die body is provided with a conduit (28, 28null, 28null), and each conduit comprises an inlet (41, 43) and an outlet (110, 111, 112), the inlets of the conduits being axially spaced from one another in the direction of the axes of the rotors, and said inlets being in communication with respective supply chambers (100, 101). Advantageously the inventive apparatus is capable of forming a multi-strand product in which each strand is formed from a particular material.

Abstract: An extruder die assembly and method for using same is disclosed which is designed for adaptation to a wide variety of commercial-grade extrusion devices common in the food industry. The extruder die assembly is inserted into an appropriate compartment within an extrusion device such that a first extrudate is directed down a coaxially aligned passageway within the forming section and combined with a fluid additive in the injection section whereupon the resulting food mass is compressed through a converging nozzle bore in the nozzle section to produce an extruded food product. The forming section and injection section are fabricated as a matching set. A novel food product is also disclosed. A known composition of a farinaceous food product is extruded through the extruder die assembly of the present invention to produce a flavored direct-expanded food product exhibiting enhanced flavor characteristics, but requiring no post-extrusion drying or seasoning process. The injection section of the extruder die assembly is used to impart flavoring additives into the extrudate mass shortly before expansion, thereby preserving the flavoring characteristics of the additive by minimizing the heat exposure of the flavoring additive. The extruder die assembly may also include static mixing elements downstream from the injection section to homogenize the flavoring or seasoning media into the flowing mass of extrudate.

Abstract: A system and method for moving a flowable substrate through a chamber is provided. The chamber extends between first and second open ends and is both shaped and heated such that the flowable substrate can be shaped and cooked therein. A pushing force is applied to the cooked substrate to expel the cooked substrate through the second open end. In one embodiment, the pushing force is provided by a pushing device that extends into the chamber at the first open end to loosen the cooked substrate from the chamber walls and to cause the cooked substrate to exit the chamber through the second open end. In another embodiment, the pushing force is provided by a fill device that continuously introduces the flowable substrate into the chamber. In certain embodiments, an ultrasonic energy source may be provided to prevent adherence of the food product to the chamber walls and/or to assist in loosening any adhered food product from the chamber walls.
