Direct Expanded Cereals

Twin-screw extrusion is a highly versatile, economic process successfully producing a broad variety of expanded cereal products throughout the world.

The Cereal Master EX process is a flexible tool welcomed in new and emerging markets for its simplicity and flexibility; and in sophisticated production environments where its adaptability adds to the capability of established producers.

Typical cereals include corn balls, multi grain rings, alphabet shapes, cocoa curls, cocoa balls and oat rings.

The Baker Perkins Cereal Master EX extruder process is a low cost point of entry to the expanding breakfast cereals market.

Baker Perkins cereal lines are, however, designed to be simply expanded or adapted on a nodular basis to increase output or expand a product range.

Utilising Baker Perkins’ depth of process expertise, co-extrusion equipment, flaking rolls, cookers and dryers can be added to the Cereal Master EX line to make a wide range of high-specification products.

A coating system is an option for adding value through frosting or glazing.

The extruder cooks the ingredients using a combination of heat, mechanical shear and moisture addition; flavours and colours can be added directly into the barrel.

Many Baker Perkins customers visit the Innovation Centre at Peterborough, where equipment available for trial and development purposes enables existing product portfolios to be refreshed, and new ones created.
