The automatic cat food production line takes meat meal, fish meal, bone meal, corn meal, bean meal, etc. as the main raw materials. By adjusting the raw materials, temperature, moisture and other process parameters, it produces food with novel shape, unique taste, rich nutrition, and delicate organization, which is suitable for different pet tastes. This production line is widely used for producing pet food such as dogs, cats, foxes, birds, etc., and is an ideal choice for large, medium, and small manufacturers.

The process of shaping pet feed raw materials. During the molding process, water is added in the form of steam to gelatinize the starch raw material of pet feed, and the temperature is raised to 100-180 degrees Celsius. Due to the high pressure before extrusion, the pressure is released instantly during extrusion, and the water rushes out of the particles, causing the pet feed to rapidly expand and foam, and the water evaporates. Therefore, pet feed manufactured through puffing technology generally has high nutritional value and good absorption.

The main production types of this cat food production line include pet staple food, dog chew gum, cat snacks, etc. The production capacity includes 500 kg/hour and below, 800-1200 kg/hour, 1500-2500 kg/hour, 2500-3500 kg/hour, and 4500-6000 kg/hour.

With the continuous increase in the variety of pets, there is a distinction between adult and young pets, and the requirements for pet food are also constantly increasing. The company has developed and researched various models of pet food production lines based on this market demand. Depending on the production volume, the production line also has multiple configurations. This production equipment can adjust the process parameters such as raw materials, temperature, and moisture to make the product have the characteristics of novel shape, unique taste, rich nutrition, and delicate organization, suitable for the taste of different pets. This production line is widely used for the production of feed for dogs, cats, fish and shrimp, foxes, birds, and various pets, making it an ideal choice for different manufacturers.

Process flow of cat food production line

① Process flow: Raw material preparation → Mixing → Conveyor extrusion puffing → Conveyor+drying → Screening+Oil spraying → Seasoning+Cooling → (Packaging)

② Equipment configuration: powder mixer → feeding machine → puffing machine → air blower/elevator → multi-layer oven → elevator → oil sprayer → drum → cooling conveyor+(packaging machine)

③ Due to the production of some feed requiring crushing, the following methods can be used: powder mixer → feeding machine → puffing machine → crusher → (packaging machine)

Process composition:

① Mixing machine: Different models of mixing machines are selected according to the production line output. There are three main models for you to choose from: 40kg, 60kg, 100kg, 200kg

② Feeding machine: using a motor as the power for spiral conveying, ensuring convenient and fast feeding.

③ Expander: according to the different output of the production line, different models of HT series expansion hosts are selected. The output can vary from 130kg/h to 600kg/h. Corn flour, cereal flour, bone meal, meat meal, etc. can be used as raw materials. The mold can be changed for specific product shapes.

④ Elevator: Convey feed to the oven, the height of the elevator is determined by the oven, and a blower can also be used

⑤ Multi layer oven: The oven is mostly an electric oven, with a temperature adjustable between 0-200 degrees through a control cabinet. The interior is a double-layer stainless steel mesh belt, and the baking time can be adjusted according to the speed. There are three layer, five layer, and seven layer stainless steel ovens;

⑥ Seasoning line: There are octagonal drum, lifting single drum, and double drum seasoning lines, which are configured according to production volume and product properties

⑦ Cooling and conveying: Filter out excess external materials, grease, etc. on the surface of the material to ensure product quality while saving the use of external materials.

The core equipment for pet food production are twin-screw puffing machines and dryers. After 20 years of development, our company offers LTE series, AYT series, and AHT series puffing machines for selection.
