New Type 2-Axis Extruder PRIOtwin
High performance remains intact, now with a more compact and affordable dual-axis extruder.
The new 2-axis extruder "PRIOtwin" from Bühler follows the well-received "POLYtwin" and "ECOtwin," which are used for food manufacturing, pet food production, and aquaculture feed manufacturing, as part of a new series. PRIOtwin features a simple and compact design, making it ideal for small to medium-scale production facilities for breakfast cereals, snacks, food ingredient processing, and the production of premium pet and aquaculture feeds. With its newly designed features, PRIOtwin achieves a simpler and more compact design while ensuring compatibility with the functions of the higher-end model, allowing for optional upgrades of various functions. 【Protein Innovation Center】 We have opened a food lab called the "Protein Innovation Center (PIC)" in Singapore. Here, you can develop prototypes of plant-based alternative meats and scale up for mass production using the extruder. For more details about the Protein Innovation Center, please refer to the related links below.
basic information
● Two sizes of screw diameters are available: 62 mm and 93 mm. ● Conditioner The one-stage movable conditioner is equipped with casters, allowing for easy removal from the extruder for cleaning. Additionally, by using a specially shaped paddle at the conditioner outlet, it can be directly attached to the extruder, reducing the installation height. ● Barrel A simple barrel without temperature control piping is standard equipment. ● Control Device A simple relay-type control panel for semi-automatic operation. ● Screw Pulling Device A simple manual hydraulic pump type.

The Protein Innovation Center was introduced in a business newsletter by JETRO (Japan External Trade Organization).
The Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) has introduced the "Protein Innovation Center (PIC)," jointly operated by Bühler and Givaudan, on its overseas business information dissemination site "Business News." Opened in Singapore in April 2021, the PIC is a food lab equipped with state-of-the-art facilities. It provides startups, universities, and food manufacturers with the expertise, networks, and technology necessary to create plant-based alternative proteins. Customers can conduct trials of both high-moisture and low-moisture structured protein products using Bühler's twin-screw extruder located within the facility. In the Business News, an overview of the PIC and how to utilize it is provided, including an interview with Dr. Venkatesh, our Chief Innovation Officer. For more details, please visit the official JETRO website below. 【Business News】 30 companies, including Japanese firms, utilize the Protein Innovation Center to support plant-based meat development https://www.jetro.go.jp/biznews/2022/04/af12aeca378b6eb1.html

Jebodan and Bühler have established a 'Protein Innovation Center' in Singapore focused on plant-based foods.
The world-renowned flavor manufacturers Givaudan and Bühler jointly announced on April 26, 2021 (Singapore local time), the official opening of the APAC Protein Innovation Center within Givaudan's Singapore headquarters. The Protein Innovation Center is jointly operated by both companies and is connected to Bühler's R&D Innovation Center in Switzerland, as well as key regional hubs that enable plant-based product development on a global scale. By combining Bühler's extrusion processing technology with Givaudan's expertise in flavors, taste, ingredients, and product development, the center aims to collaborate with food processing companies, startups, and researchers from academic institutions in the Asia-Pacific region to develop and realize new plant-based foods that meet the taste, texture, and cooking methods demanded in Asia. The 400m2 facility includes a pilot-scale extruder, a state-of-the-art product development kitchen, storage facilities, and meeting rooms, as well as an area where visitors can observe live demonstrations.

We have published the alternative protein solution catalog.
Bühler is leading the development of sustainable alternative proteins, starting with soybeans, oilseeds, and legumes, as well as new raw materials such as by-products generated during food production, microalgae, and insects. The catalog presents solutions and equipment for industrial-scale processing and manufacturing of alternative proteins that can replace high-quality meat and fish.
