Hydrated grits is put in the extruder, where it must be heated to a temperature of 200° C. it Should be noted that it is important the pressure rise that allows you to create grains of the hot plastic mass. Water vapor and the pressure of the screw apparatus of the extruded mass, in which the pressure in the squeezing breaks like a corn stick. A knife mounted on a movable mechanism that cuts the dough in equal distance, the sticks are dried in a special receiver to 5% moisture.
