The Automatic Dental Treats Processing And Drying Line by Darin Machinery is engineered to handle a flexible range of dental treat sizes to accommodate various market needs for pet oral care products. Here are the typical specifications:
✅ Minimum Treat Size:
Length: ~40 mm
Diameter/Thickness: ~6 mm
This size is usually suitable for small dogs or cats, where portion control and easy chewing for dental cleaning are key.
✅ Maximum Treat Size:
Length: ~150 mm
Diameter/Thickness: ~20 mm
This upper range supports larger dental treats, ideal for medium to large dogs, offering longer chewing time and more effective teeth cleaning.
⚙️ Notes on Customization:
The system can be customized to produce dental treats beyond these dimensions depending on customer requirements.
The cutter and extruder die must align with the chosen treat size and shape.
For non-standard shapes (e.g., bone-shaped, star-shaped, or brush-shaped), Darin can also fine-tune the forming and cutting components.
Would you like recommendations based on your target market (e.g., toy breeds vs. large breeds)?
Yes, the Automatic Dental Treats Processing And Drying Line by Darin Machinery can be adapted to produce dental treats with different formulations, colors, or functional additives in a single product – offering multi-variety capability for pet oral care applications.
✅ How It Works:
Multi-Extrusion System with Liquid Filling:
The line is equipped with a twin-screw extruder that supports multiple hoppers and a liquid filling system, each designated for a different formula, color, flavor, or functional additive (e.g., chlorophyll for breath freshening, calcium for dental health, or enzymes for plaque control).
Synchronized Dosing Control:
Each extruder or liquid filler is precisely synchronized to deposit alternating layers, stripes, or core-filled segments of different materials before the cutting process.
The result is a visually appealing dental treat with 2–3 colors, flavors, or functional benefits (e.g., green tea extract + calcium + chlorophyll combined in one treat).
Automatic Cutting & Arranging:
The combined strands enter the cutting system, which slices them into final length, then the sticks arranging system aligns treats for consistent drying. The result is uniform dental treats with consistent multi-formula distribution.
Customizable Segment Ratios & Shapes:
You can configure the ratio of each material within the treat (e.g., 50% dental cleaning formula / 30% breath freshening layer / 20% functional additive core).
Different treat shapes (stick-shaped, bone-shaped, brush-shaped, star-shaped, etc.) can also be achieved via die and cutter changes.
🛠 Optional Features:
Color-Coding per Formula (for visual appeal and variety pack presentation)
Liquid Core Injection (for functional additives like enzymes or probiotics)
Multi-zone Temperature Control in Continuous Dryer for precise drying profiles
