In the 90's, extrusion technology moved forward and completed the already wide range of well-established products in the market with the so-called 3-D technology.This group of products enhances the very high versatility that pellet technology can offer in terms of shape, texture, and ingredients.3-D pellets can be potato- rather than cereal-based.Innumerable shapes are available from animal shapes to geometrical figures.There is also the option for open or closed "structures", and therefore the possibility to obtain very special textures Considering that every market has different requirements for this group of products, VALIN generally works on specially-tailored projects in terms of shape, formulation, and expansion system (frying and/or hot air).Mixed shapes are also available, especially for the children's snacks market, which evolves very rapidly and requires high rate of innovation.
