Behind every successful plant-based “meat” product lies a complex production process, in which accurate ingredient dosing plays a crucial role. Within this field, technology providers such as Clextral (extrusion technology) and Kubota Brabender Technologie (dosing systems) work closely together. SPS | Solids Process Solutions represents Kubota and supports producers in translating this technology into a stable and reproducible process.
