Snacks and Extruded Products
Advanced technologies for snacks, extruded products and savoury baked goods
Snack production calls for technologies that deliver high speeds, dosing precision and operational continuity, without compromising product quality.
From crisps to extruded products, from crackers to savoury snacks and multi-component mixes, Libra offers solutions designed to maximise production efficiency, reduce giveaway and ensure rigorous quality control even on the highest-performing lines.
Key challenges
High production speeds
Modern production lines need weighing and packaging systems that sustain high performance without compromising precision and reliability
Light, bulky products
Crisps, extruded and puffed snacks need dedicated configurations for stable handling and accurate dosing
Complex mixes
Mixes of snacks, crackers, extruded and other products require precise control of recipe composition and pack uniformity
Reducing giveaway
Even small weight deviations can have a significant impact on production costs
Operational continuity
High productivity calls for reliable machines designed to keep line downtime to a minimum
Food safety
Contaminants and foreign bodies call for reliable inspection systems along the entire line

The machines
Tailor-made solutions. Real tests.
We test your product free of charge to identify the technology and configuration best suited to your application. Real trials, performance analysis and dedicated reports allow us to develop every project starting from concrete data and from the customer's specific production needs. First we test. Then we build the solution.
