Single Screw Extruder MVK Series
Performance, productivity, efficiency and a capital return of your equipment
Maverick extruders assure greater production potential with more available energy. This greater production potential is the result of the new drive and unique design of the screw flighting and the barrel ribbing. The combination of the flight depth, pitch profile, and effective helix angle optimize the conversion of mechanical energy into heat through friction while minimizing shear damage.
Barrel components -screws, barrel sleeves, and shearlocks -are proprietary stainless steel alloys. The result is greater resistance to wear, increased barrel life, and significant reductions in extruder maintenance and operating costs.
V-belt drive, with fixed speeds that depends on the application of specific mechanical energy (kW/Ton)

*The maximum production indicated on the table above are typically from extruded feed and expanded dry for dogs, with bulk density of 350 g/L and 22% of protein.Real production and power requirement depend on formula, product specification and extruder barrel configuration. MAVERICK will ensure the system capacity after the formulas are appropriately evaluated.
Main Benefits
Live-Bottom Bin and Screw Feeder
HSC (High Shear Conditioner)
The HSC enable prior hydration and heating, controlled by steam addition sections (or water or meat suspensions) before adhering to the extruder barrel.
Steam and water are injected into the large-diameter end of the conditioner. As the diameter and volume decrease toward the smallerend of the unit, shear rate is increased.Elevated mixing intensity for increased cook levels.
Aditional Components
Die Installation
Allow quickly and accurate changing and adjustment of the die installation, by minimizing the installation time between different products in shape and size.The knife drive is mounted on a die to distribute the blade wear over its entire area.
Automated Process Control (APC)
Controls the starting, the operation and the system stopping. It regulates the extruder production, the process temperature and the liquid injection, besides to fully monitor all the post-extruder operation required to optimize the product fabrication.
Optional Components
Back Pressure Valve (BPV)
Mounted on the end of the extruder prior to the final die, providing on-line control of shear stress and SME for regulation of product characteristics, including: size and uniformity of cell structure, shape definition, starch gelatinization, bulk density and liquid absorption.
Plumbing Rack
These standard features save installation expenses, time, effort and the typical system start-up delays that can plague the commission ing of a new equipment installations.All required plumbing hardware are mounted on a separate skid package with all items connected and mounted to the framework that follows a common header.
