The method for producing extruded, farinaceous pellets includes extruding a mixture so that it expands upon exiting an extruder. This prepuffed ribbon is then subjected to stretching and cutting steps to produce pellets. The prepuffing reduces the moisture content of the ribbon so that cut pellets made from the ribbon can be immediately processed without the need for a moisture conditioning and/or dehydration step. In stretching, the extrudate ribbon is passed through a set of rollers to increase the extrudate ribbon's velocity thereby causing the ribbon to stretch. Stretching the extrudate ribbon causes a reduction in thickness along with an increase in density. After cutting, the pellets can then be expanded in a puffing stage to produce a product that has a desirable light and crunchy texture.

L'invention concerne un procédé de production de granulés farineux extrudés, consistant à extruder un mélange de sorte qu'il soit expansé à la sortie d'une extrudeuse. Le ruban pré-soufflé est ensuite soumis à des opérations d'étirage et de découpage en vue de produire des granulés. L'opération de pré-soufflage permet de réduire la teneur en eau du ruban de sorte que les granulés découpés obtenus à partir de ce ruban puissent être traités immédiatement sans étape d'humidification et/ou de déshydratation. L'opération d'étirage consiste à faire passer le ruban extrudé à travers un ensemble de rouleaux de façon à accroître sa vitesse et provoquer son étirage. L'étirage du ruban extrudé entraîne une réduction de son épaisseur et une augmentation de sa densité. Une fois découpés, les granulés peuvent être expansés lors d'une étape de soufflage pour former un produit présentant une texture suffisamment légère et croquante.
