AUTOMATED AND CONTINUOUS SYSTEM FOR ACCELERATED COEXTRUSION AND COOKING OF SAUSAGES

🚀 CookEX Process®: the new era in sausage production

Metalquimia, together with Handtmann (Germany) and Hybricol (the Netherlands), present CookEX Process®, the automated and continuous system for accelerated co-extrusion and cooking of sausages with alginate casings, for both meat protein and alternative protein products.

The CookEX Process® technology leverages the advantages of alginate gels (Hybricol) for casing formation and their use in ConPro stuffing/co-extrusion systems (Handtmann), combined with drying and cooking using QDSausage® technology (Metalquimia).

The final result: a fully automated system that integrates stuffing, co-extrusion, pre-drying, and cooking phases into a single accelerated and continuous process for sausage manufacturing.
