Advanced extrusion technologies

Our twin-screw extrusion technology enables us to produce HME (High Moisture Extrusion) and TVP (Texturized Vegetable Proteins) with unmatched efficiency. Thanks to our expertise and our complete production lines, it is possible to create ultra-realistic and tasty meat and fish analogues, meeting consumers’ growing needs for sustainable and healthy alternatives to meat products. Clextral has placed innovation at the heart of its strategy for many years, to best satisfy this large market.

Innovation for performance: HCD Technology

Innovation, the keystone of our approach, is represented by our High Capacity Die technology (HCD): this efficient advance enables us to produce up to 2,500 lbs. of alternative proteins per hour, meeting the high-productivity requirements of the meat and fish analog market. The HCD technology, with its double parallel output, doubles production capacity while maintaining consistent quality. This technology ensures that both product belts exit at the same speed, in a continuous flow, guaranteeing identical stretching, hardness and fibration characteristics.

Clextral commitments: durability, productivity, adaptability

Clextral is committed to providing sustainable food solutions for the future. Our flexible technology enables us to create even more realistic and tasty products, while optimizing production costs. HCD not only increases productivity, but also reduces energy costs and initial investments thanks to the optimized size of the extruders.

Inspired by global trends, our R&D team has created recipes adapted to a wide variety of raw materials. Our process flexibility fosters innovation and the use of differentiating ingredients, allowing us to meet consumer expectations in terms of taste and texture.
