Food extruders are often starve-fed, which means the feed input to the extruder is controlled externally with an independent feeder and is less than the maximum throughput for a given screw speed. The effect of starve-feeding on the pressure profile during potato granule extrusion is apparent in the fact that the pressure build-up in the extruder only occurs near the die when the screw channels are full of material. 1, record 2, English, - starve%2Dfeeding
