A mini lab pet food extruder is a small-scale extrusion machine used primarily for research and development or small batch production in the pet food industry. It mimics the functionality of full-scale extruders but on a smaller scale, allowing for experimentation with different ingredients, textures, and shapes of pet food with minimal waste.
Darin® Mini lab extruder DR-24 is designed as client’s request and feedback, to provide convenience for formula development, reduce the market time cost and develop cost. The capacity is 1-5kg/hr, mini in size, easy to move and operate, simple to disassemble and clean. The mini lab extruder can be used to make pet food, pet treat etc by changing the screw and formula. The final product size and shape can be various by changing molds. The capacity is 1-5kg/hr, mainly used in the lab to test recipe. The capacity is 1-5kg/hr, mini in size, easy to move and operate, simple to disassemble and clean. Equipped with water jacket to cool the barrel. Without opening heating, it can also be used for making cold extruded treat.

VS
Mainstream Equipment manufacturers may often use lesser-known brands Ordinary motor, ordinary quality and with limited after-sales support guarantee.
Mainstream Equipment typically use lesser-known brands, and replacements are difficult to source in the local market.
In contrast, Mainstream Equipment may lack such advanced controls, often relying on manual buttons that only control the main unit.They require more operators.
Mainstream Equipment manufacturers might require manual inspection of each piece of equipment, which is time-consuming. Low work efficiency.
Mainstream Equipment manufacturers Control cabinets may use 220V, Non-human safety voltage, posing a safety risk in case of leakage for operator.
Mainstream Equipment often provide only basic overload protection. Potential safety risks.
Mainstream Equipment manufacturers who may use lower quality materials, the lower quality materials potential safety risks.
