Measurement Solutions for Extruding, Drying, Coating Processes in Dry Pet Food Production
Achieve desired product quality and ensure food safety during dry pet food production.
Reduce product waste with measurement instrumentation for dry pet food
Once a batch comes out of the cooker, wet and dry pet food products typically take different finishing and packaging paths. Dry pet food often goes to an extruder which works the mixture into a dough and shapes the product into the proper sized pieces. Once shaped the sized pieces pass through a series of dryers or ovens on a conveyor. These dryers can be heated with steam, but gas-fired units are also very common. It is crucial to retrofit pet food dryers with accurate measurement instrumentation to help accurately measure natural gas flow. Next dry pet food is sprayed with various coatings to add nutrients and flavors to the product. Since coating is relatively expensive, coating systems should be instrumented with flow meters and pressure transmitters to ensure the desired amount is being added.
High performance measurement solutions can help improve product quality, reduce excess product waste, and ensure food safety during dry pet food finishing processes.
