One extruder, six colors, endless variations
The unique Extrufood Diemix® enables the production of licorice and fruit gum with up to 6 different colors and flavors using only one extruder. The mass coming from the extruder is split by the Diemix® into individual, equal streams. Color and flavor are then added to each flow, which passes through a dynamic mixing stage for a homogeneous mix. A dosing skid can be fitted to ensure accurate dosage per color and flavor.
The Diemix® has a compact design and can be adapted to many different mass types. It's easily accessible for maintenance, and typically fits into existing production systems with minimal modification. A Diemix® can be fitted onto all Extrufood extruder types.
With co-extrusion, it's possible to make 6 single-colored licorice products on one cooking extruder with a Diemix®. Combined with a forming extruder with its own Diemix® producing differently colored fillings, the possibilities of a single production run become practically endless.
