Capacity: 0.5-12ton per hour
Main motor: 15-315kw
Application: cat food, dog food, fish feed pellet production
Raw materials: corn, flour, rice, meat (meat meal), bone meal, fruits and vegetables, etc.
Production Process: Material mixing→extrusion→baking→spray seasoning→cooling packaging
The pet food production line uses high-expansion corn flour grains as the basic raw material, supplemented by bone meal, meat, protein, vitamins, fiber, and other nutrients. It cooperates with a screw extruder to produce pet dog cat food of different shapes through strong extrusion and instantaneous expansion molding. and also produce aquatic feed, floating feed, goldfish feed pellets, shrimp feed pellets, crab, and other feeds and foods. The dried flavor coating enhances the taste of the final product, and the final set is automatically packaged. The particle size can be from 1mm-12mm to feed fish of different sizes. Our pet food production line has high output and high quality products. It is the first choice for pet food industries, large and medium-sized feed processing plants, and large aquaculture farms.

Different Food Shapes Produced By Pet Food Production Line
Technological Procedure
preparing raw materials → mixing raw materials → transporting raw materials → extruding raw materials → drying finished food→ cooling finished food → spraying oil → seasoning → automatic packaging
The mixing process is a key process in pet food production. The basic process is to weigh the raw materials of different weights according to the formula, then pour them into the crusher and smash them, and then temporarily store all the materials in the storage bin. Then all the ingredients are ready, put them in the blender and mix them.
2. Extrusion
Extrusion is a high temperature and short time heat treatment process. It can not only reduce the degradation of food nutrients, improve the digestibility of protein and starch, but also destroy anti-nutrients and microorganisms. Can produce round, triangle, flower shape, bone shape and other shapes of dry pet food through different molds (templates) of the feed extruder. In pet food production, fat is usually added to improve the palatability of pet food, which is carried out during the conditioning process. In addition, in order to make pet food tablets have different colors, manufacturers usually add pigment water in the extrusion chamber.
3. Dry
The drying part is mainly used to remove moisture from the extruded pet food. The extruded material has a soft texture and a water content of 20-30%. After drying, the moisture of the finished product is controlled at 8%~10%, which can ensure the storage of the material within a certain period of time.
4. Add grease
Oil is the best source of energy, so 2%-40% of oil can be added to the formula according to the growth needs of the pet. We recommend that the fat content in the formula, that is, the total oil content in the extruder should be kept within 12%. If the oil content is required to exceed 12%, the hardness of the pellets will be significantly reduced. If the extruded material needs to contain more than 12% oil, it is recommended to add additional oil after drying. It can be used under normal pressure or vacuum spraying, depending on the amount of oil added. The external spray will make the appearance of the pet food flakes more attractive. In addition to oil, some powdery attractants are also sprayed to increase the palatability of pet feed.
5. Cooling and screening
The main purpose of the cooling section is to cool the dried material from high temperature to close to room temperature and take away part of the moisture. In addition, during this process, unqualified food tablets will be separated from eligible foods.
