Food Processing
The Extrufood Diemix® is a specialized solution designed to enable the production of licorice and fruit gum with up to six distinct colors and flavors—all using a single extruder. The system operates by dividing the mass output from the extruder into multiple equal streams. Each stream is then individually infused with color and flavor before passing through a dynamic mixing stage that ensures a homogeneous blend. For enhanced precision, a dosing skid can be integrated with the Diemix® to facilitate accurate addition of each color and flavor.
Engineered with a compact footprint, the Diemix® is highly adaptable to a wide range of mass types and is designed with accessibility in mind, allowing for straightforward maintenance. Its modular nature typically allows for integration into existing production lines with minimal modifications. The Diemix® is compatible with all Extrufood extruder models, including those used in co-extrusion processes. This flexibility makes it possible to produce up to six individually colored licorice products from a single cooking extruder. When combined with a forming extruder equipped with a Diemix® for color-varied fillings, the system offers virtually limitless possibilities within a single production run.
