The textured soy protein processing line is integrated with a raw materials treatment system, extrusion system, drying system, and control system. It features high stability and automated performance, allowing precise control over the expansion and texture of the final extrudate.
The core technology utilizes co-rotating twin-screw extrusion, which is the heart of the line, enabling continuous production of high-quality protein snacks and meat analogues.
Textured soy protein (TSP/TVP) is made from soy protein concentrate. It is available as dry flakes or chunks and maintains its structure when hydrated, offering a texture similar to meat. It contains approximately 50-70% protein and is highly popular as a meat replacement due to its significant health benefits, including heart health support.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What raw materials are used in this production line?
The primary raw material used is low-temperature soy flakes or soy protein concentrate to produce high-quality textured protein.
Q2: What is the difference between Dry Type and Wet Type extruders?
Dry type is generally used for standard TSP flakes and chunks with capacities up to 600kg/h, while wet type is designed for higher capacities (up to 1500kg/h) and specific textures.
Q3: What heating options are available for the drying system?
The dryers can be configured for various heating types including Electrical, Gas-Fired, Oil-Fired, or Steam heating depending on your facility's resources.
Q4: Is the equipment easy to maintain?
Yes, the line is built with stainless steel and high-grade 38CrMoAl screws. It features an automatic control system and comes with a 1-year warranty and free essential tools.
Q5: Can the machine produce different shapes of soy meat?
Yes, by changing the molds and adjusting the extrusion parameters, you can produce various sizes and shapes of nuggets, flakes, and chunks.
Q6: Do you provide technical support for international customers?
We provide engineers for overseas machinery service, workshop design suggestions, and raw material formulas to ensure successful production.
