A pet food extrusion line is a factory assembly line designed specifically for the production of pet food through a process known as extrusion. This line consists of a series of interconnected machines that handle different stages of production. The central component, the extruder, mixes raw ingredients and cooks them under high pressure and temperature. The resulting hot mixture is then forced through a mold called a die, shaping it into the desired forms and sizes of pet food pellets. This line efficiently produces pet food in various shapes and sizes, ensuring consistent quality and nutritional value.
Raw material:
Corn flour, wheat flour, rice flour, fish powder, bone powder, fresh bone and meat paste, etc. or to use the corn feeds, rice feeds, wheat feeds directly, then a grains grinder will be added.
Product Range:
Versatility & Customization: It supports a variety of materials & allows for flexible production of different shapes & products through customizable configurations.
Dog & Cat Food: Produces both dry & semi-moist foods, catering to the largest market segment.
Fish Feed: Offers high-grade feeds for both common & exotic fish species, available in floating or sinking varieties.
More Applications: Suitable for producing food for wide range of pets including dogs, cats, shrimp, foxes, and birds, enhancing its utility across different pet food markets.

Roaster is used to dry a wide range of products, such as dog snacks, corn flakes, core filling food, pet food etc. Stainless steel material, the power can be gas, oil or electricity.
Flavoring System is used to evenly spray the flavor powder and oil onto snacks. Includes FOUR devices: Coating Drum, Oil Sprayer, Small Hoist and Flavor Sprayer.
Production line process flow:
Mixer—screw conveyor—twin screw extruder-air conveyor—–multi-layer oven—hoister–roller—oil sprayer—packing
Darin® Pet Food Extrusion Line follows a step-by-step process to transform raw ingredients into nutritious pet food:
Ingredient Handling: Raw materials like grains, meat meals, and vitamins are received, stored, and then precisely measured according to the desired recipe.
Mixing and Grinding: The measured ingredients are blended thoroughly in a mixer. Some components might be ground for better consistency before mixing.
Extrusion: The mixed ingredients enter the heart of the line – the extruder. Here, they are cooked under high pressure and temperature, forming a dough-like consistency.
Shaping: The hot dough is forced through specialized dies (molds) within the extruder. These dies determine the final shape and size of the kibble.
Drying and Cooling: The extruded kibble is conveyed through dryers to remove excess moisture, ensuring proper storage and preventing spoilage. The dried kibble is then cooled for handling and packaging.
Coating and Packaging (Optional): For enhanced palatability, the cooled kibble might be misted with a fat or oil coating. Finally, the kibble is packaged in bags or containers for distribution.
