I. Introduction of Dog/Cat/Pet Kibbles

Pet dry kibbles for dogs and cats have a low moisture content, usually 3%-11%. It is processed by mixing dry ingredients, wet ingredients and other nutrients together, then extruded and puffed, dried, and seasoned. The dog cat food making machine produce kibbles that are dry and precooked, which make pets easier to chew and digest .

Depending on the recipes and adjusting the extrusion process parameters, this pet food making machine can produce either ‘complete rations’ that provide all the nutrients pet need for healthy physical functions, or ‘supplementary functional foods’ that provide pet with additional correct nutrition. This cat dog food extruder machine can use various combinations of starch/protein sources as raw material to produce pet food with different nutritional structures. Dry ingredients include various grains, vegetable meal, dries chicken meal, poultry by-product meal, dried beef meal and dries fish meal. Wet ingredients include fresh or frozen animal meat or by-products.

• Failure rate: Nearly zero failure as long as preventive maintenance 

Flexibility

1. By adjusting the formulation and the extrusion process parameters, pet kibbles of different hardness, crispness and softening speed when meet water can be produced, so as to produce dog and cat food suitable for all ages.
2. The kibble shape and size can be changed freely according to the extrusion die mounted.
3. Other auxiliary materials such as freeze-dried raw meat granules can be added through the rotating drum line with a weighing system, and mixed evenly with dry kibbles to produce the new type called kibble-meat mixed pet food.

Processing potential

1. By changing the extrusion die, this twin screw cat dog extruder can also produce various aquatic feeds, including fast-settling pellets, slow-settling pellets and floating pellets.
2. Adding a core injection machine, a chew pulling machine, and replacing the extrusion mold, this twin screw cat dog extruder machine can carry out CO-extrusion process for pet chews and treats.
