Functions and advantages of pet feed extruder

As the pet market becomes increasingly prosperous, the quality and taste of pet feed have become the focus of pet owners’ concerns. In order to meet market demand and improve the nutritional value and digestion and absorption rate of pet feed, pet feed extruders came into being. This article will introduce the functions and advantages of pet feed extruder in detail to help readers better understand this advanced equipment.

Functions of pet feed extruder

1.Expansion: The pet feed extruder uses high temperature, high pressure, and high shear to rapidly expand the material in the barrel to form a loose and porous structure. This structure not only improves the taste of the feed, but also increases the surface area of the feed, which is beneficial to pets’ better digestion and absorption.

2.Sterilization effect: During the puffing process, the material is sterilized in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment, which effectively kills harmful bacteria in the material and ensures the hygiene and safety of pet feed.

3.Cooked effect: During the puffing process, the extruder makes the material reach a fully cooked state, which improves the nutritional value of the feed and makes it easier for pets to digest and absorb.
4.Shape adjustment: The pet food extruder is equipped with moulds of various shapes, which can adjust the shape of the feed according to market demand, such as round, oval, heart-shaped, etc., to meet the individual needs of pet owners.

Advantages of pet feed extruder

1.Improve feed quality: The pet feed extruder makes the feed have better taste, higher nutritional value and easier digestion and absorption through puffing, sterilization, aging and other processes, which helps to improve the health of pets.
2.Reduce production costs: The extruder adopts advanced production technology and high-efficiency equipment, which improves production efficiency and reduces production costs. At the same time, there is no need to add additives such as adhesives during the puffing process, which reduces production costs.
3.Environmentally friendly and energy-saving: The pet feed extruder uses a dry extrusion process, which eliminates the need for a steam system, reducing energy consumption and environmental pollution. In addition, the extruder uses high-efficiency motors and energy-saving equipment to further reduce energy consumption.
4.Easy operation: The pet feed extruder adopts an automated control system, which is easy to operate and maintain. At the same time, the equipment has functions such as automatic feeding and automatic cutting, which reduces labor intensity and improves production efficiency.
5.Diversified products: The extruder is equipped with molds of various shapes, which can produce pet feed of different shapes and sizes to meet market demand. In addition, the extruder can also adjust the sinking or floating properties of the feed according to the raw material ratio to meet the needs of different pet species.

As an advanced production equipment, the pet feed extruder has multiple functions such as puffing, sterilization, and aging. It can improve the quality of pet feed, reduce production costs, be environmentally friendly and energy-saving, easy to operate, and have the advantages of diversified products. As the pet market continues to develop and expand, pet feed extruders will become increasingly popular among pet feed manufacturers, providing pet owners with higher-quality pet feed.
