Cereal order from Germany

A new breakfast cereal manufacturing plant operated by Nordgetreide near Saarbrucken in Germany will include APV Baker flaking rolls, a cooker extruder and three coating systems to provide flexibility of production.

Two methods of cereal cooking are offered. Twin-screw extrusion is the basis for products that add interest and variety to the sector, with the ability to respond to market demand via rapid changeover between products.

Twin-screw extruders process and cook ingredients via a combination of heat, mechanical shear and moisture addition; flavours and colouring can be added directly into the barrel.

Alternatively, traditional rotary pressure cooking is specified for high output flaking and shredding lines. Here flaking rolls are used to form individual flakes for a wide variety of cereals. They provide consistent quality at high outputs, which is ensured by advanced feed and roll cooling systems, and precise gap control.
