Pet Food Processing Revealed

Pet food processing revealed: twin-screw puffing machine

Exploring the mysteries of dog food and cat food processing, let's delve into two core equipment:

Twin screw puffing machine: 

This is a key equipment for manufacturing puffed grains. During the puffing process, dog food will rapidly expand and shape like popcorn, forming various shapes such as circles, triangles, and squares. Our company has over 20 types of pet food shape molds to meet different needs. Compared to single screw puffing machines, the advantage of twin-screw puffing machines lies in their powerful extrusion force, which can achieve a fresh meat content of 40% in puffed grains. Fresh meat is more difficult to expand than plants, and the strong extrusion pressure of twin-screw is the key to achieving this. In addition, this twin-screw puffing machine can directly add grease during the puffing stage, while other equipment can only achieve this function during the spraying stage.

Drying machine: 

A drying machine is used to reduce the moisture in dog food transported from the puffing stage, making it easier to store, while increasing the brittleness and aroma of dog food. Through the drying process, the moisture content of dog food is controlled, resulting in a more ideal taste.

These devices are essential partners in the processing of dog and cat food, working together to ensure that pets' health and nutritional needs are met.
