End product

Flat Wafers

With fine, medium or deep reeding, with company logo or special engraving – filled in one or several layers, coated or moulded.

Variants

  • Flat Wafers

    Flat wafers are manufactured with fine, medium and deep reeding in a wide variety, with company logo or special engraving. They are filled with cream, caramel, chocolate or jam in one or several layers. Flat wafers are usually fabricated with one or two different fillings.

  • Coated Wafers

    Flat wafers are offered as coated wafer bars in countless shapes and sizes. They are sometimes sprinkled with chopped nuts and coated with chocolate or glazing.

  • Moulded Wafers

    Flat wafers are also made into moulded wafer bars. The wafers are inserted half or completely in the chocolate mould. The shape of the moulds allows many different variations.

End product

Hollow Wafers

The choice of shape gives you the freedom to design your very own, unique product – as sticks and bars or as filled and coated wafer halves.

Variants

  • Hollow Wafers

    The multitude of shapes and sizes that hollow wafers offer gives the freedom to design very own unique product. Uncoated versions are mostly executed as sticks or bars. They are popular in hot regions.

  • Coated Hollow Wafers

    Coated hollow wafers are made up of two wafer halves that are conditioned, filled and joined. Additional variations, such as inserting whole hazelnuts, and then either adding a chocolate coating and decorating or simply coating with a sprinkling of nuts, mean that customers can let their imaginations run virtually free when it comes to new designs.

End product

Extruded Products

Savoury snacks, cereals, whole grain products, special products and pet food – extruded in almost any shape, size and flavour.

Product categories

  • Savoury Snacks

    Savoury snacks are known in many shapes, sizes and flavors. They are very popular as a snack between meals or at the evening. They can be made in almost any shape. The used recipe, raw materials, process parts, process parameters and technologies characterize the end product.

    • Curls, Rings, Balls
    • Sticks
    • Spirals
    • Flat breads
  • Cereals and Sweet Snacks

    Everyone knows extruded sweet snacks and cereals as breakfast cereals. They are often consumed in combination with milk, yogurt or curd. Extrudates filled with cream are often used for snacking on to go. Many shapes and flavors are possible. The used recipe, raw materials, process parts, process parameters and technologies characterize the end product.

    • Filled Snacks
    • Breakfast Cereals
    • Flakes
    • Crispies
    • Microcrispies
  • Whole Grain Products

    The innovative manufacturing process allow the production of whole grain products. For this purpose, the cleaned cereal grains and legumes are prepared, mixed with other raw materials, extruded and seasoned. The used recipe, raw materials, process parts, process parameters and technologies characterize the end product.

    • Design Popcorn
    • Whole Grain Curls
    • Malt Rings / Beersnacks
    • Legumes Snacks
  • Special Products

    The innovative manufacturing process enables the processing of various raw materials in the form of whole grains, free-flowing granules, semolina and flours (> 300µm). This allows the production of a large number of products and semi-finished products. Various types of grain, legumes, vegetable and fruit fibers, starches, sugar, animal raw materials (e.g. pork rind granules, insect powder), dried milk components and protein powder can be used. One focus is the processing of by-products from other production processes (e.g. fruit, vegetable fibers, beer grains, pomace) into high-quality snacks and semi-finished products.

    • Functional Flours
    • Biodegradable Packaging
    • Protein Crisps (TVP)
    • Croûtons
    • Pork Rind Snacks
  • Pet Food

    Pet food for dogs, cats, rodents, fish and horses can be extruded from cereal raw materials, animal meal and spices. Colourings and oils can be added to the extruder during the process. Vitamins and flavors are usually only applied after drying.
