Customer Profile
Kataria Snack Pellets Pvt. Ltd. is a well-established manufacturer of snack pellets (fryums), supplying to leading FMCG and snack brands across India. With high-capacity extrusion lines running continuously, precise temperature control is critical to maintain product quality, output consistency, and overall plant efficiency.
Application
Fryums Extruder Cooling
In fryums extrusion, maintaining optimal mold and barrel temperature is extremely critical. Any deviation in cooling directly impacts extrusion stability, pellet shape, and moisture content.
Improper cooling can reduce production capacity by 40–50%, leading to higher rejection rates and inconsistent product quality.
Challenges Faced
-
High heat generation during continuous extrusion cycles
-
Need for stable chilled water temperature for uninterrupted production
-
Energy efficiency concerns due to long operating hours
-
Requirement of standby redundancy to avoid production loss during maintenance or breakdown
