Product Introduction

Our pet food making machine is tailored for pets of different ages, breeds and health conditions. Rich in high-quality protein, such as chicken, beef, fish, etc., it provides pets with the nutrients they need for muscle growth and repair, helping them to be full of vitality.In terms of food technology, we use advanced low-temperature baking technology to retain the nutrients of the ingredients to the greatest extent and avoid high temperature damage to the nutrients. In addition, the particle size and shape are carefully designed to facilitate pets to chew and swallow. Whether it is a puppy or a cat, or an elderly pet, it can be easily eaten.

Mixer- Screw conveyor- Twin screw extruder- Air conveyor- Oven- Hoister- Flavoring machine- Cooling Conveyor-Packaging machine

1. Mixing machine: 

used to mix and stir various raw materials such as flour, sugar, oil, water, additives, etc. according to a certain formula ratio, so that the raw materials are fully and evenly mixed to form a dough with a certain viscosity and plasticity, laying the foundation for subsequent biscuit production.

1. Screw conveyor: 

mainly used to transport the mixed dough or other raw materials from one location to another. The rotation of the spiral blade pushes the material to move in the conveying pipeline. It has the characteristics of stable conveying and good sealing, which can effectively prevent material leakage and pollution.

1. Twin-screw extruder:

through the rotation and extrusion of the two screws, the dough is further extruded, matured and formed. According to different molds and process requirements, the dough can be extruded into biscuit blanks of various shapes and specifications. At the same time, the dough can be heated and matured to a certain extent during the extrusion process.

1. Air conveyor:

Use wind power to transport the biscuit blanks from the extruder to the oven or other subsequent equipment. The airflow generated by the fan makes the biscuit blanks suspended and transported in the pipeline, which has the advantages of fast conveying speed and not easy to damage the blanks.

1. Oven:

It is one of the key equipment in biscuit production and is mainly used to bake biscuit blanks. The heating element generates heat to bake the biscuit blanks under certain temperature and time conditions, so that the moisture in the biscuit blanks evaporates, the starch gelatinizes, and the protein denatures, so that the biscuits have a crisp taste and unique flavor, and form a beautiful color.

1. Hoist: 

It is used to lift the biscuits that have been baked or otherwise treated to a certain height so that they can be transported to subsequent equipment for further processing or packaging. Common ones include bucket elevators, which drive the hopper through a chain or belt to lift the biscuits from a low place to a high place.

1. Flavoring machine:

Various seasonings, such as salt, sugar, chocolate sauce, cream, etc., can be evenly sprayed or applied on the surface of the biscuits to increase the flavor and taste of the biscuits and meet the taste needs of different consumers.

1. Cooling machine

Cool the baked biscuits. Through forced ventilation or other cooling methods, the biscuits are cooled quickly, the heat is dissipated, the internal structure of the biscuits is stabilized, and the biscuits are prevented from becoming soft, deformed or deteriorating due to excessive temperature during the subsequent packaging process. It is also conducive to improving packaging efficiency and quality.

1. Packaging machine: 

Pack the cooled biscuits according to certain specifications and quantities. It can complete a series of packaging processes such as biscuit metering, nitrogen filling, sealing, labeling, etc., and package the biscuits into various forms of products, such as bags, boxes, cans, etc., to facilitate the storage, transportation and sales of biscuits.

Advantages of Pet Food Processing Line

1. Twin-screw extrusion technology:

(1)The twin-screw structure can fully mix raw materials (such as protein, grains, vitamins, etc.), ensure uniform nutrition distribution, and improve product quality.

(2)Strong adaptability: Supports high-water and high-fat formulas, avoids the clogging problem of traditional single screws, and broadens the range of raw material selection.

(3)Diversified shapes: By changing the mold and adjusting the screw speed and temperature, different shapes (granules, strips, 3D shapes, etc.) can be quickly produced to meet the diverse needs of the market.

(4)High-temperature sterilization: The high temperature and high pressure environment during the extrusion process can kill pathogens, extend the shelf life, and reduce the subsequent sterilization process.

2. Multi-shape production capacity:

(1)Flexible mold switching: Equipped with standardized mold interfaces, different shape molds (such as bones, fish shapes, letters, etc.) can be quickly replaced to shorten production adjustment time.

(2)Parameter adjustability: By controlling the extrusion pressure, temperature and cutting speed, the density and texture of the product can be differentiated (such as crispy and soft), which can be adapted to the needs of different pets

3.Multi-mode heating of multi-layer ovens: 

(1)Customers can choose different heating methods such as electric heating, fuel gas heating, steam heating, etc. according to local production conditions

(2)Layered temperature control: Each layer of the oven can set the temperature and time independently to avoid over-baking, retain nutrients and optimize the taste (such as crispy outer layer and soft inner layer).

(3)Energy saving and high efficiency: The multi-layer structure maximizes the use of heat energy, shortens the drying time, and increases production capacity by 30%-50%.

4.Smart touch control cabinet:

(1)Convenient human-computer interaction: The graphical interface intuitively displays production parameters (temperature, pressure, speed, etc.), and supports one-click adjustment of recipes or switching of production modes.

(2)Automated alarm system: Real-time monitoring of equipment status, automatic diagnosis of faults (such as abnormal temperature, blockage) and prompt solutions to reduce downtime.

(3)Data traceability: Record production data (such as batches, process parameters) to facilitate quality tracing and process optimization.

5.High degree of automation:

(1)Full process automation: From raw material transportation, mixing, extrusion, baking to packaging, the whole process is mechanically operated, reducing manual intervention and human errors.

(2)Labor cost savings: A single production line only requires 2-3 operators (traditional production lines require 8-10 people), and labor costs are reduced by more than 60%.

(3)24-hour continuous production**: Stable operation guarantees production capacity, and the output per unit time is increased, which is suitable for large-scale order needs.
