Reading Bakery Systems introduces

extrusion of both baked and fried snack
foods. Designed to address the specific
needs of fried snack production, the extruder has a taller and more open support
frame that allows easy integration with
frying equipment. It also features optional free-float sections to discharge cut
product into a fryer. The extruder manages dough flow for optimum consistency

by the high-speed band cutter. It can be
positioned above the infeed of a fryer, or
product can be transferred to a fryer (or
oven) with an optional transfer conveyor.
