Hebenstreit

Hebenstreit nowadays is not only a worldwide well-known manufacturer of flat and hollow wafer lines, but in the 1980s also was already a manufacturer of snack extrusion lines. Based on the former know-how and the input of additional expertise in food extrusion, Hebenstreit developed a series of state-of-the-art extrusion lines for the manufacturing of savory and sweet snacks.

Depending on the recipes and the sensory characteristics, the capacities of the lines can range from 200 to 800kg/h of finished product. Of course, the company has a complete extrusion line with all respective downstream equipment installed at its facility in Radebeul near Dresden so that customers can test their developmental work. But that’s not all: The company also offers a team of experienced specialists who will provide eye-level support right from initial concept development, and will assist their customers with their technology and market know-how.

In addition to its worldwide proven technology for the production of flat and hollow wafers, Hebenstreit also offers complete mixing systems for various batter and cream formulations. To complete these systems they offer material handling technologies for various raw materials including weighing systems.
