Dies

Extrufood is a leading specialist in the design and manufacture of high-performance dies for the confectionery industry. The company is particularly renowned for its expertise in dies used for belts, spaghetti strands, ropes, and cables—supporting both single- and multi-colored extruded products in solid, hollow, or filled formats.

The incorporation of rotary dies enables significant variation in product appearance and texture. By adjusting the rotation speed, manufacturers can achieve diverse visual and structural effects. When paired with a co-extrusion die, even filled products can be twisted, further expanding creative possibilities. Typical fillings include sugar paste, fruit-based snacks, chocolate, chewy candy, caramel, and more.

Extrufood’s solutions facilitate the efficient production of licorice and other extruded confections, offering virtually limitless combinations of color, shape, texture (twisted or non-twisted), and filling type. When integrated with proprietary technologies such as the Extrufood Diemix® and Dieswitch®, these die systems deliver unmatched versatility and innovation within the industry.
