Abstract
In one embodiment, an extruder apparatus is disclosed that has a flexible pouch system, an extrusion device, and a spout. The flexible pouch system is for holding material that is to be extruded. The extrusion device has a squeezing mechanism that is configured to accept one of possibly many flexible pouch systems via a fitment that can be used to provide a pathway to an adjustable spout where material is extruded. Other embodiments are also disclosed.
Claims20
An extruder apparatus comprising:
- a flexible pouch system for holding material to be extruded;
- an extrusion device having a squeezing mechanism that is configured to accept the flexible pouch system, the squeezing mechanism for squeezing the flexible pouch system such that the pouch system is evacuated of at least a portion of the material;
- said flexible pouch system including a fitment having threads, the fitment being removably coupled to the extrusion device;
- and
- a spout being mechanically coupled to the fitment of the extrusion device, the spout for delivering the portions of the material of the pouch system to a location exterior of the extruder apparatus when the squeezing mechanism of the extrusion device is engaged, wherein the portions of the material in the pouch system are extruded through the spout.

An extruder apparatus comprising:
- a pouch system for holding material to be extruded;
- an extrusion device having a squeezing mechanism that is configured to accept the pouch system, the squeezing mechanism for squeezing the pouch system;
- said pouch system being mechanically coupled to a fitment for sliding into a slot of the extrusion device for securely coupling the pouch system to the extrusion device, thereby allowing the pouch system to be securely coupled to the extrusion device by means of the fitment, the fitment also being configured to hold the material of the pouch system when apart from the extrusion device;
- and
- a spout being mechanically coupled to the fitment of the pouch system, the spout for delivering the portions of the material of the pouch system to a location exterior of the extruder apparatus when the squeezing mechanism of the extrusion device is engaged, wherein the portions of the material in the pouch system are extruded through the spout.

An extruder apparatus comprising:
- a pouch system holding material to be extruded;
- an extrusion device that is configured to accept the pouch system, the extrusion device for compressing the pouch system;
- said pouch system being mechanically coupled to a fitment for sliding into a slot of the extrusion device for securely coupling the pouch system to the extrusion device, thereby allowing the pouch system to be securely coupled to the extrusion device by means of the fitment, the fitment also being configured to hold the material of the pouch system when apart from the extrusion device;
- and
- a spout being mechanically coupled to the fitment of the pouch system, the spout for delivering the portions of the material of the pouch system to a location exterior of the extruder apparatus when the compressing mechanism of the extrusion device is engaged, wherein the portions of the material in the pouch system are extruded through the spout.
