Workflow of Pet Food Production Line

The pet puffed food production line runs with a stable and clear workflow. It mainly includes the following steps:

Raw material preparation → Mixing → Feeding → Extrusion & Forming → Drying → Oil spraying → Flavoring → Cooling → Packaging

Raw materials are fully mixed and conveyed automatically. They are extruded into differe,nt shapes under proper temperature and pressure. After drying, seasoning and cooling, the final pet food products are made and ready for packaging.

Puffed Food Production Line Equipment

1.Twin-Screw Extruder

Function: As the core equipment of the entire pet food production line, the twin-screw extruder completes high-temperature ripening, pressurization, and molding at the same time. It can produce pellets of different shapes and sizes by changing molds.
