The working principle of the cat food extruder is based on the process of extrusion. Extrusion is a process that involves applying heat, pressure and mechanical forces to raw materials to force them through mold holes, which determines the shape and size of the final product. This process is commonly used to produce many different types of food, including cat food.

The raw materials used to produce cat food using extruders are usually a combination of animal protein, grains, vegetables, vitamins and minerals. When these ingredients are added to the hopper, they are mixed and fed through an auger to the dryer. As raw materials move through the dryer, they are subjected to heat and pressure, which causes them to undergo a process known as drying. It involves heating raw materials to kill harmful bacteria, denaturating enzymes, and breaking down complex nutrients into more bioavailable forms. After finishing, apply seasoning equipment as needed and spray the cat food with other odors or materials as needed. Finally, the cat food produced is packaged and ready for distribution.

Twin-Screw Extruder

The twin-screw extruder is a highly versatile and efficient machine used in various industries, including food processing, plastics manufacturing, and chemical production. The machine consists of two intermeshing screws that rotate at high speeds, creating a shearing and compressing action to process and mix materials. The twin-screw extruder offers several advantages over other types of extruders, including better mixing and dispersion of ingredients, higher production rates, and the ability to process materials that are difficult to handle. Additionally,controls and automation features of modern twin-screw extruders make them highly customizable and precise, allowing for fine-tuning of the extrusion process to meet specific requirements and achieve optimal product quality. Overall, the twin-screw extruder is a critical tool for many industries, enabling efficient and reliable manufacturing processes and the creation of high-quality products.

Dryer

Dryers are devices used to remove moisture content from various foods, thereby extending their shelf life. They are widely used in large-scale food processing in meat processing, fruit and vegetable processing, grain processing and other industries. These machines work by using heat to evaporate the water in the food, so that the water content of the food is reduced, thus inhibiting the growth and deterioration of bacteria. This also does not damage vitamins and other essential nutrients, so it is very efficient in preserving the nutritional content of food.
