Flexibility, greater sanitation, gentle handling of ingredients, quicker changeovers, more precise weight control, and the ability to make products with healthier ingredients are top of mind features and benefits for snack and bakery customers of extrusion equipment and technology.

In order to do their best to help minimize and prevent issues that can arise in a snack and bakery production environment, suppliers continue to make safety improvements to their equipment.

The theme of this year’s Sanitary Design Workshop is “Equipment and Plant Design for Allergen/Pathogen Control in Low-Moisture Foods,” and the event will be held March 29–30 at The Warwick Allerton Hotel in Chicago.
