Filled Stick Extrusion System

A flexible machine for unique co-extruded products

The Reading Pretzel Filled Stick Extrusion System creates sticks filled with a variety of soft fillings, such as cheese, peanut butter and chocolate. A pump system pushes the soft filling through the compression head and die on the LP Extruder so that it fills the dough stick formed by the Extruder. The product rope is then be cut into equal length sticks or nuggets by the downstream Guillotine Cutter.
