    • An improved twin screw extruder device (14) is provided which is capable of producing a wide variety of high quality extrudates having greatly varying final properties, without the need for extensive machine modifications. The extruder (14) includes a barrel (16) together with a co-rotating twin screw assembly (22). The assembly (22) is made up of a pair of screws (50, 52) having central, tapered shafts (54, 56) equipped with outwardly extending helical flighting (58, 60); the screws (50, 52) are non-parallel and are positioned so that the flighting (58, 60) thereof is intercalated along the length of the screws (50,52). The flighting is of specialized configuration and tapers along the length of the screws (50, 52) preferably at an angle of taper different than that of the shafts (54, 56); moreover, the width of the outer flighting surfaces (70, 72) increases along the length of the shafts (54, 56). This screw geometry defines a series of alternating upper and lower close-clearance high-pressure nip areas (78) defined by the flighting (58, 60) which serves to propel an extrudable mixture forwardly towards the outlet end (20) of the barrel (16). However, passageways (80) and kneading zones (82) are also defined between the screws (50, 52), which assures full mixing, shearing and cooking of the material. The extruder device (14) is capable of producing high density sinking aquatic feeds as well as expanded, low density products merely by changing the rotational speed of the screws (50, 52) together with appropriate temperature control. In another embodiment, a fluid extraction extruder (138) is provided having a specialized extruder head (140) including an outer shell (144) and an inner, elongated, slotted sleeve (152).
    • 提供了一种改进的双螺杆挤出机装置(14),其能够生产具有极大变化的最终性能的各种各样的高质量挤出物,而不需要大量的机器修改。 挤出机(14)包括与同向旋转的双螺杆组件(22)一起的筒体(16)。 组件(22)由一对具有中心的锥形轴(54,56)的螺钉(50,52)组成,所述锥形轴配备有向外延伸的螺旋形飞行(58,60); 螺钉(50,52)不平行并且被定位成使得其沿着螺钉(50,52)的长度插入其中(58,60)。 沿着螺钉(50,52)的长度优选地以与轴(54,56)的锥度不同的锥度的角度,排出专门的构造和锥度; 此外,外侧飞行表面(70,72)的宽度沿轴(54,56)的长度增加。 该螺钉几何形状限定了一系列交替的上部和下部闭合间隙高压压区(78),其由所述排放(58,60)限定,用于将可挤压混合物向前推向筒的出口端(20) 16)。 然而,通道(80)和捏合区域(82)也被限定在螺钉(50,52)之间,这确保了材料的完全混合,剪切和烹饪。 挤出机装置(14)能够通过在适当的温度控制下改变螺杆(50,52)的转速而产生高密度下沉水生饲料以及膨胀的低密度产品。 在另一个实施例中,提供流体提取挤出机(138),其具有包括外壳(144)和内部细长开槽套筒(152)的专用挤出机头(140)。

    • Improved short length extrusion cooking devices (10) are provided which can achieve product throughput and quality characteristics of conventional long-barrel extruders. The short length extruders (10) of the invention include a relatively short barrel (14) having an inlet (18) and an endmost extrusion die (20). An elongated, helically flighted axially, rotatable screw assembly (22) is positioned within the barrel (14) and is coupled to motive means (39, 39a) for rotation of the assembly (22) at a speed of at least about 500 rpm. The device (10) may include an internal, apertured flow-restricting device (60, 110) which defines a mid-barrel choke point for the material being processed. An alternate extruder (120) is configured without a mid-barrel restriction and is designed to operate at essentially atmospheric internal pressure throughout the majority of the length of barrel (122) with a significant pressure rise in the final head (134) adjacent the extrusion die. Preferably, the barrel (14, 122) has an internal bore of generally frustoconical configuration with an effective length to maximum diameter ratio (L/D) of at least about 6. Novel extrusion processes and products are also provided, using extremely short extrusion barrel retention times to give cooked extrudates having essentially no amino acid or vitamin nutrient losses, and/or dense, highly cooked, low moisture feeds.

    • An improved, low cost, energy efficient extrusion device and method for processing of cellulose, hemicellulose, and like fiber-bearing materials is described which includes a pretreatment extrusion zone and a reaction extrusion zone separated by a pressure sensitive variable die. The method hereof includes the steps of extruding cellulosic material through the pretreatment zone at an elevated pressure and temperature, passing the material into the reaction zone where it is mixed with an acid and is processed at a lower pressure and temperature than in the pretreatment zone, and extruding the material through a final extrusion die. The surging and blowing usually experienced with extrusion of fibrous material is drastically reduced by the unique construction of the extruder die members. The cellulosic material may be hydrolyzed to simple sugars in accordance with the method and apparatus hereof with a minimum of acid degradation of the extrusion equipment. The sugars produced from the cellulosic material may in turn be converted into ethanol or other usable fuels by the process of fermentation.

    • A greatly improved twin screw extruder and method are disclosed which significantly reduce extruder wear through provision of separate, complemental, interfitted frustoconical screw and barrel sections adjacent the outlet end of the extruder barrel which create an even, bearing-type support for the rotating screws as material passes through the apparatus. In preferred forms, the screws are intermeshed along the majority of the extruder barrel, but diverge at the region of the final frustoconical screw sections and are received within respective complemental barrel sections; in this fashion the material being processed is split into juxtaposed, non-communicating streams, and thereby evenly flows around and supports the adjacent screw section to lessen the tendency of the screws to separate themselves and come into wearing contact with the surrounding barrel walls. The extruder can be used to process a wide variety of plant-derived materials, but is particularly useful for viscous substances (e.g., soy concentrates and isolates) which can be difficult to handle with mono-screw extruders.

    • Methods and apparatus for high-moisture extrusion of starch-bearing grains is disclosed which yield cooked, gelatinized products suitable for short-time enzymatic conversion to sugars, and particularly those subject to fermentation to alcohol; the high production rates afforded through use of extrusion equipment, and the short conversion time of the resultant products, is particularly advantageous for economical alcohol manufacture, both for alcoholic beverages and for use as fuel. Preferably, whole or cracked starch-bearing grain is presoaked in an excess of water to a substantial moisture level, and the resultant slurry is fed to a specialized extruder. In the extruder the water is at least partially separated and carried from the process, and the grain is highly cooked and gelatinized for subsequent conversion. The overall apparatus preferably includes presoak tanks for the grain, a grain-conveying feeder, an extrusion cooker, and enzyme conversion tanks; the apparatus is advantageously sized for batch-continuous operations to produce a continuous flow of sugars. Conversion times for the gelatinized starches are low, less than about 45 minutes, and moisture and extrusion conditions can be altered to further lower sugar conversion time.
