Two Doughs, One Piece
A co-extruder puts two doughs, or a dough and a filling, into one piece. Each runs from its own hopper and dough head, and the die keeps them apart until the piece is cut, so one machine can make filled, stuffed and two-color products.
Each co-extruder is built to order. All CMC America depositors are USDA accepted, meet OSHA and ANSI standards, and can be manufactured to be FDA and CE conformant when required. We build them in Joliet, Illinois.

Two Dough Heads
Each dough has its own hopper and feed rolls, and both feed one die.
Filled or Two-Color
Wrap a filling inside a dough, or run two doughs side by side. A different die makes a different product.
Wire-Cut or Pinch-Cut
Cut pieces with a wire, as on our wire-cut depositors, or pinch-cut them to close and seal filled pieces.

Co-Extruder Questions
What is a co-extruder?
A depositor with two dough heads that feed one die. Each piece holds two doughs, or a dough and a filling, which the die keeps apart until the piece is cut.
What’s the difference between wire-cut and pinch-cut?
A wire slices each piece off the die, as on our wire-cut depositors. Pinch-cutting closes the outer dough around the filling as it cuts, which seals filled pieces. We can build a co-extruder for either one, or both.
How wide is it?
We build it to the width your line needs. Tell us your piece size and how many pieces an hour you need.
Can you make a die for my product?
Yes. Co-extruder dies are made for each product. Tell us the size and shape of your pieces and what goes inside.
Do you build the dough feeders too?
Yes. We build dough feeders and conveyors, and the mixers that go with them. See our transport systems.
What warranty comes with a new depositor?
New CMC equipment comes with a written warranty. Coverage depends on the part, so please see our Warranty and Terms (PDF).
