The following is an introduction to it:
Functions
Mixing ingredients: It can evenly mix various raw materials such as meat, grains, vegetables, vitamins, and minerals in precise proportions to ensure the balanced nutrition of dog food.
Extruding and shaping: Through the extrusion process, the mixed raw materials are made into different shapes, like granules, strips, and bones, which not only meet the eating habits of dogs but also help with their teeth cleaning.
Cooking and sterilizing: The machine can cook the dog food at high temperatures, which not only makes the food easier to digest and absorb but also kills harmful bacteria and microorganisms, ensuring the safety and quality of the food.
Types
Small household dog food making machines: They are simple in structure and easy to operate, suitable for pet owners who want to make dog food at home. Their output is relatively small, usually ranging from a few kilograms to tens of kilograms per batch, and they are mainly semi-automatic, requiring some manual operations.
Large commercial dog food making machines: They are highly automated and have a large output, capable of producing several tons of dog food per hour, which are suitable for large-scale dog food production enterprises. They are equipped with advanced control systems that can precisely control parameters like temperature, pressure, and extrusion speed.
Factors to Consider When Choosing
Production capacity: Choose a machine with appropriate production capacity according to your production scale. If it is for personal or small workshop use, a small and medium-sized machine is sufficient; for large factories, a large-scale production line is needed.
Functionality: Different machines have different functions. Some machines can only perform simple extrusion and shaping, while others have comprehensive functions such as mixing, cooking, and packaging. Select a machine based on your actual production needs.
Brand and after-sales service: It is recommended to choose products from well-known brands, which usually have better quality and more reliable after-sales service.
Maintenance and Cleaning
Regular maintenance: Regularly check the parts of the dog food making machine for wear and tear, and replace the worn parts in a timely manner. Lubricate the moving parts regularly to ensure the normal operation of the machine.
Thorough cleaning: Clean the machine thoroughly after each use to remove residual food and dirt inside and outside the machine to prevent the growth of bacteria and affect the quality of the next batch of dog food production.
