New cereal products at Interpack
Date: 20 December 2007
Product Forum on the Baker Perkins stand
Technology to make ready-to-eat cereals for increasingly health conscious consumers will be a focus of the Baker Perkins stand at Interpack (Hall 2 Stand A03).
The stand will feature an interactive Product Forum with a wide ranging selection of samples, where customers can discuss their ideas and explore Baker Perkins capability with the company’s food technologists. Visitors to the stand will be able to see how Baker Perkins’ process technology provides the link between the end products and the production equipment.
The spotlight will be on products made on the twin-screw extruder, a proven tool in the cereal industry – Baker Perkins will be showing the new SBX Master Extruder at Interpack along with a 12 stream die and pillow crimper for the production of co-extruded products.
Extrusion is the basis for products based on corn, bran, rice, wheat, barley and oats.
The Baker Perkins Cereal Master EX is a modular extrusion line that provides a cost effective point of entry to the breakfast cereals market. Simple direct expanded cereals such as fruit rings, corn puffs, alphabet letters, oat loops and crisp rice can be produced directly off the twin screw extruder with no further processing, except sugar coating and drying.
With the addition of a co-extrusion die and pillow crimper, co-extruded multi- and whole grain fruit filled products can be positioned as a healthy breakfast cereal.
By adding a Flaking Roll the product range can be extended to corn flakes and bran flakes whilst the addition of a cereal cooker brings the ability to make high quality multigrain flakes.
The process has the ability to respond to market demand via rapid changeover between products, and the inbuilt flexibility to bring new products to market quickly.
