Posted by Md. Mohir Uddin on April 12, 2026 at 5:11 pmWhat happens to moisture when feed exits the extruder?

When feed exits the extruder, the sudden drop from high pressure to atmospheric pressure causes a portion of the moisture to instantly flash into steam, resulting in product expansion. The remaining moisture must then be removed through controlled cooling and drying to reach a stable level, typically below 10%, to prevent spoilage.

Al salir del extrusor, el alimento presenta una alta humedad (generalmente entre 20% y 30%) y una temperatura elevada, lo que provoca una evaporación instantánea o “flash-off” del agua . Esta expansión reduce la humedad inicial y es crucial, por lo que el producto requiere secado inmediato para alcanzar niveles estables del 8-10%.
