Extrusion, the innovative refinement technology with a future for food and petfood.
Extrusion is a thermo-mechanical refining process in which the raw material to be extruded, such as grain or proteins, is pressed through a predefined opening using pressure and temperature. At Crespel & Deiters, extrusion is the refining technology of choice for implementing new innovative trends for food and pet food. Many product developments, such as innovations and products in the veggie and vegan ranges, would not be possible at all without extrusion. And our extruded pregelatinized flours are the basis for milk replacers in the animal feed industry and are used in technical applications.
The many innovative possibilities of extruding cereals and proteins:
Extrusion of wheat: Textured wheat proteins
Lory® Tex by Loryma is a high-quality textured wheat protein for vegetarian and vegan products and baked goods. Lory® Tex is a high-quality purely plant-based protein source that is available in different colours and forms.
Trigea’s Trigovit® Tex is a sustainable vegetable protein source for balanced animal nutrition and ensures an optimal animal feed texture. Trigovit® Tex textured wheat protein can be produced in various shapes and colours and adapted to individual requirements.
Extrusion of cereals and proteins: Crispies
Our extruded cereal crispies provide a delicious, crunchy taste in confectionery, breakfast cereals, muesli bars, yoghurt toppings and many other applications.
Our High Protein Crispies Lory® IsoCrisp ensure a high protein and nutritional content. Lory® IsoCrisp are extrudates made from the valuable proteins of wheat, whey or milk.
Extrusion of cereals: Crumbs
Unsere Lory® Crumbs sind Extrudate auf Basis von Weizen, Mais oder Reis. Sie verbessern die Knusprigkeit von Panaden und sind erhältlich in verschiedenen Formen und Farben. Darüber hinaus bieten wir sie als extrudierte Flocken auf Basis von Milch oder Reis für Instant-Sporternährung an.
Extrusion of wheat: Pre-gelatinised flour
Pre-gelatinised flour from Crespel & Deiters is extruded wheat flour with optimised swelling properties. This, and its good digestibility, make it an ideal binder in petfoods and milk replacers.

Expertise and innovative strength in extrusion and production.
Food extrusion is a complex thermo-mechanical process in which pressure and temperature are applied to force a product through a predefined opening and at the end it retains the shape obtained there. This process opens up a wide range of design options for the end-consumer product in terms of taste, shape, nutrient composition, bulk density, bite, and colour.
At Crespel & Deiters, we use state-of-the-art technologies and take into account the latest findings on process development for specific solutions. Production knowledge and application experience flow into the personal and individual consultation of our customers.
Product development for and with the customer.
With the specialist and technology leader for extrusion in food production, Crespel & Deiters is a provider of ideas and impulses for product developments. With permanent research and market observations, we recognise trends early on. From this, we develop new solutions in our technical centre that set benchmarks. Our proven expertise in the function and effect of extruded cereal products and proteins in the manufacturing process as well as in the end-consumer product is a solid basis for joint product development with our customers.
Development of innovative extruded cereal and protein products in our Technical Centre:
Our Technical Centre is an innovation centre with its own laboratory extruder, where individual solutions and laboratory tests for extruded proteins and starches are directly tested and prepared for subsequent scale-up on modern production lines. Initial sample quantities are made available early in the process for better planning and later delivery reliability. With our team of R&D experts, we stand for a long-term partnership and place our customers in a position to effectively outsource extrusion with individual product solutions, according to customer requirements.
Our certified quality management.
The innovation promise of the Crespel & Deiters Group is supported by extensive knowledge in the field of food extrusion, experience as a renowned supplier to the food manufacturing industry and a high level of innovation.
