LikeMeat counts on cooling die from DIL Engineering: meat-free products now taste and look like the real thing

September 20, 2021

The LikeMeat GmbH is a producer of plant-based alternatives to meat, and high-moisture extrusion is a key technology when it comes the production of meat-like structures and the development of successful meat analogues for the fast-growing vegan and vegetarian market. However, the texture and taste of real meat (products) can be difficult to mimic.


The DIL Engineering GmbH combined know-how and experience and developed a cooling die that not only improves sensorial properties but which also increases throughput and consequently reduces production costs. 


“The close collaboration with the DIL Engineering GmbH has allowed us to finally produce meat analogues that convince even the biggest meat lovers among our customers”, says LikeMeat’s Head of Innovation Achim Knoch.
