    MAGNUM ST
    EXTRUDER

    Engineered from the ground up for high SME


    ratings and unsurpassed versatility
    Magnum ST Twin-Screw You asked for it . . . Wenger has delivered
    Extrusion Systems: with the new Magnum ST Series — the next
    generation of twin-screw extruders.
    the Next Generation In addition to higher torque and greater capacity,
    in Versatility this powerful, high-speed extruder comes with all
    the service and support you’ve come to expect from
    the pioneer in extrusion cooking systems.

    With maximum speeds up to 1,200 rpm and power


    levels to 165 kWhr/t SME at volumetric capacity, the
    Magnum ST Series literally redefines versatility.
    Step down to a smaller extruder without giving up
    capacity. Or use the higher SME levels to take
    extruded products to the next level.

    Among the benefits of higher specific mechanical


    energy (SME) inputs to product quality are:

    • Potential for lower bulk density


    • Higher absorbency levels of liquid coating
    • Smaller cell structure
    • Enhancement of textural properties
    • Higher cook levels
    EXPANDED OPERATING PARAMETERS
    Utilizing parallel-shaft twin screws, the new Magnum ST Series extruders are
    ideal for the unique processes that require extreme operating parameters. With
    their increased process flexibility and rate potential, the Magnum ST Series is
    especially suited for:

    • Applications with extreme product viscosities


    • Processes requiring high SME inputs
    • Continuous physical and chemical reactions
    • Dispersive mixing applications

    The Magnum ST Series is also ideal for applications requiring high torque at low
    extruder shaft speeds and for jobs that require increased rate potential, where
    rate is dependent on SME and shaft speed.

    BETTER FEATURES DEFINE A BETTER MACHINE screw segments are fully intermeshing, they’re also
    self-cleaning, which helps reduce maintenance and

    TAKE PERFORMANCE TO THE NEXT LEVEL
    WITH SPECIAL OPTIONS
    One of the hallmarks of Wenger Extruders is that many of the amenities that we include as standard equipment are either
    unavailable or optional on other extruders. However, there are a number of options available, when and where they’re needed.

    Patented DDC Preconditioner Bin Feeder System


    Whether it’s used for simple or complex processes, the Choose from screw conveyors or
    Wenger DDC (Differential Diameter Cylinder) Preconditioner vibratory feeders combined with bin

    The Wenger Density Management System
    Benefits also include improved product quality and a significant (DMS) allows for an increase in product
    reduction in operating costs as a result of reduced extruder density up to 30%. Water from the vacuum

    process when desired.

    DC Preconditioner
    The DC (Dual Cylinder) Preconditioner offers Mid-Barrel Valve

    Back Pressure Valve—BPV Convenient Barrel/Shaft Removal
    Mounted on the end of the extruder, Quick and simple barrel/shaft removal is facilitated through
    prior to the final die, the back a combination of options, including a hinged cone head that
    pressure valve (BPV) provides eliminates the need to open the barrel for cleaning or for

    The BPV also includes an integral by-


    pass feature that allows the operator
    to divert product from the die. This is
    a particularly valuable feature during
    startup and shutdown and when service is
    performed on the die/knife assemblies.
    Overhead Rail System
    External Density Management System Unique to the Magnum ST Series, the overhead rail system
    Consisting of an enclosed chamber that surrounds the die/knife permits operators to conveniently add process tools or
    assembly, the patented External Density Management System remove extruder barrel components without heavy lifting or
