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.

2.Electric Dryer
Function: The multi-layer dryer removes excess moisture from extruded pet food pellets evenly and efficiently. It guarantees proper hardness, crispness, and long shelf life, and prevents mold, caking, or deterioration during storage and transportation.
| Model | Installed/Consumed Power | Temperature | Capacity |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-layer 5m Electric Dryer | 30 kW | 0–200°C | 100–150 kg/h |
| 5-layer 5m Electric Dryer | 45 kW | 0–200°C | 200–260 kg/h |
| 3-layer 5m Gas Dryer | 5 m³/H | 0–200°C | 150 kg/h |
| 5-layer 5m Gas Dryer | 6 m³/H | 0–200°C | 200 kg/h |
| Microwave Dryer (Small) | 30 kW | 0–200°C | 100–150 kg/h |
| Microwave Dryer (Large) | 45 kW | 0–200°C | 200–240 kg/h |
3.Flour Mixer
Function: The mixer fully blends grain powder, meat powder, vitamins, and other additives in an accurate ratio. Uniform mixing ensures stable nutrition, consistent taste, and smooth extrusion in the later process.
| Model | Installed Power | Real Power | Capacity | Dimensions |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SCBFJ-I | 4 kW | 2.5–3 kW | 20–25 kg/batch | 1070×630×1450 mm |
4.Screw Feeder
Function: It automatically conveys mixed raw materials to the extruder continuously and stably. It reduces manual labor, dust pollution, and material waste, and keeps the whole production line running smoothly.
| Model | Installed Power | Real Power | Dimensions |
|---|---|---|---|
| LXSL-I | 1.1 kW | 0.5–0.7 kW | 2500×600×2400 mm |
5.Air Conveyor
Function: It uses wind power to transport newly extruded soft pellets gently. This closed conveying method avoids pellet breakage or deformation, keeps products intact, and realizes pollution-free transmission between processes.
| Model | Installed Power | Real Power | Dimensions |
|---|---|---|---|
| FSJ-I | 2.2 kW | 1.5 kW | 2700×600×2100 mm |
6.Oil Sprayer
Function: It sprays oil and attractants in a fine mist form onto the pellet surface. It improves palatability, enhances food aroma, stimulates pet appetite, and increases product added value.
| Model | Installed Power | Dimensions |
|---|---|---|
| PYJ-I | 0.55 kW | 900×700×600 mm |
7.Elevator
Function: It lifts semi-finished products from a low level to high-level equipment smoothly. It optimizes production line layout, saves workshop space, and connects drying, seasoning, and cooling processes efficiently.
