Extruded Snacks Market Trends Redefining Industry Growth
Major companies in the extruded snacks market are adopting novel technologies, such as extrusion sheeting technology, to maintain their competitive position. Extrusion sheeting technology is a manufacturing process that involves extruding materials, typically plastic or rubber, to form thin, continuous sheets with a consistent thickness. This technology utilizes an extruder, a machine designed to melt and shape raw materials, to produce sheets of various sizes and specifications. For instance, in February 2023, Baker Perkins Ltd., a UK-based engineering company for food processing equipment, introduced extrusion sheeting technology, creating new opportunities for snack developments. This technology employs a twin-screw extruder with an innovative wide-slot die to produce a thin sheet of dough that directly feeds a rotary cutter. These production lines are simple to operate and, having fewer units, offer significant reductions in cleaning time and maintenance costs. Moreover, this technology can assist in manufacturing high-protein or high fiber snack products.
