A soya extruder machine is a type of equipment used to process soybeans into various forms such as textured vegetable protein (TVP), soy flour, or soy chunks/granules. It's widely used in the food processing, animal feed, and oil extraction industries. 🔧 What Does a Soya Extruder Do? The main function of a soya extruder is to cook and shape soybeans using high pressure and temperature, achieved through mechanical means (screw compression and friction). The soy is de-fatted, cooked, sterilized, and expanded through a die, forming products like: Textured soy protein (TSP/TVP) for human consumption Full-fat soy meal for animal feed Soybean flakes for oil extraction 🏭 Types of Soya Extruder Machines Type Description Application Dry Extruder No steam or moisture added; relies on friction heat Ideal for animal feed Wet Extruder Uses steam injection, has a pre-conditioner Preferred for textured soy protein (TSP) Twin-Screw Extruder High control over cooking, shaping Used for food-grade soy products ✅ Key Features Screw feeder and barrel Die head (shaping outlet) Heating system (electric/steam) Cutter system (for soy chunks or granules) Control panel for temperature/speed ⚙️ Common Output Products Soy chunks/granules Textured soy protein (TVP) Full-fat or de-fatted soy flour Soy flakes (for oil extraction)
