What is a food extruder machine

Food extruder machine is an equipment based on extrusion technology. Another name of food extruder machine is "cooking extruder".

The basic concept of extrusion is that it takes a ground food product and transforms it into a different shape. There are a number of instances when this is necessary, such as the manufacturing of dog food for instance. If you’ve ever read the ingredients on a bag of premium dog food, you may have noticed just how many different ingredients it contains. An average bag of dog food may have chicken, beef, carrots, potatoes, corn and other ingredients. So, how are manufacturers able to force all of these items into such a tiny bit-sized pellet? While there are a couple different ways to accomplish this, the easiest and most effective is through extrusion.
