  • the extruder housing can be equipped with a cooling or heating jacket, as a result of which a constant process temperature is maintained.
  • the retention times of the material to be treated in the extruder housing depend on the length of the extruder screw, but this often turns out to be disadvantageous because the retention times are limited thereby. Negative results are also due to the permanent forced movement of the material and the operating conditions in the extruder housing, which can only be changed slightly. When using this process for the production of plasticized starch, the production of highly viscous products is not guaranteed, since the starch molecules in the extruder are exposed to excessive thermal and mechanical stress and are degraded in the process.

  • the applied mechanical energy of the mixing tool heats, for example, powdery starch to such an extent that it converts to a plasticized mass with a natural water content.
  • An additional admixture of solvent, such as when using conventional devices, is therefore no longer necessary, and a subsequent drying process, as with the autoclave process, is unnecessary.
  • the individual adaptation of the operating conditions of the mixing device used according to the invention also includes working under vacuum, as a result of which treatment of inulin, for example, delivers particularly good results.
