I. Introduction of Dog Cat Chews

Traditional pet chews are mostly meat strips made from pigskin and cowhide, soaked, folded by hand, and dried.The modern pet chews are made of natural starch, natural gum and meat products through mixing, extrusion, shaping, drying and other processes.

Chews produced by extrusion process not only have the necessary characteristics of long-lasting chewing, high nutrition, and high palatability, but also are easy to digest and safe and hygienic due to the high-temperature processing technology. In addition, flexible raw materials combinations, extrusion parameters and shaping process can develop more functional, high-quality and more interesting chewing products to meet the needs of pets for teeth cleaning and calcium supplementation in different periods.

Notes:

Single-screw extrusion dog cat chews feed making machine is the optimal equipment for producing general purpose pet chews.

• The cooking time of the material is long, and compared to twin screw extrusion, the product extruded by the single-screw extrusion technology has higher density.
• By changing different extrusion dies, different shapes of pet chews can be produced, such as bars, granules, flakes, bones, twists etc.
• Its equipment investment is low, and it occupies a small floor area, which is suitable for small pet food factory.

There are another three kinds of dog cat chews requiring different specific chews feed making machine. DAYI engineers will formulate the most suitable production plan for you according to your needs.

• The die-casting type dog cat chews which have more complex shapes (Like brush shape, bone shape etc.) are produced by dog cat feed making machineconsisting of twin screw extruder and vertical die casting machine, instead of single screw extruder.
• In addition, when the content of fat and fresh meat in the raw material is high, because the moisture and fat in the raw animal raw material will offset the friction in the extruder barrel, making it difficult or even impossible to reach a proper cooking temperature, so a secondary continuous extrusion molding process is required: the twin screw process followed with single screw process.
• CO-extrusion pet chews requires two sets of single screw extruders to work at the same time.
