Application Value Of Single Screw Extruder

Customer background and requirements

The customer is a small feed company in Vietnam, which is small to medium-sized, with 4-5 employees and requires easy maintenance of the machine.

Core requirements:

1. Limited budget for machine cost
2. No too many requirements for machine capacity

Uses and advantages of single screw extruder

Single screw extruder can not only be used in food extrusion plants to increase the crispy taste of food, but also in livestock feed and fish feed for high temperature sterilization, which can increase the taste and retain more nutrition.

1. Simple parts, easier disassembly and maintenance, and simple parameter adjustment;

2. Low cost, suitable for early small and medium-sized companies;

3. Low requirements for raw materials, corn, rice and other low-fiber and low-moisture materials can be used;

Three major values of single-screw extruder

Saving machine and labor costs:
In terms of machine costs, the machine cost of a single-screw extruder is 30%-40% of that of a twin-screw extruder, and the use of a single-screw extruder does not require an ultra-fine grinder. In terms of labor costs, the maintenance of a single-screw extruder only requires 1-2 people/hour, reducing labor costs.

Revolutionary production capacity:
With a single-screw extruder, you can configure the material ratio yourself, arrange production time independently, reduce OEM costs, and increase gross profit;

High investment returns:
Calculated based on an hourly output of 1 ton and an average daily operation of 8 hours, the annual processing volume is about 2,400 tons. Calculated based on the average profit of puffed feed in Vietnam of US$120 per ton, the annual profit is about US$288,000.
