Extruder for high-volume pet food production
Meeting the demand for high-quality pet food requires equipment that can handle diverse ingredients and produce large quantities. Traditional extruders may fall short in terms of flexibility, efficiency, and maintaining consistent product quality.
Optimize pet food extrusion with high thermal energy transfer
The PetFLEX™ by Wenger is designed to handle a wide range of pet food productions efficiently. This twin-screw extruder can produce up to 11,000 kg/hr, making it suitable for both limited ingredient diets and complex fresh meat formulations. The unique twin-screw profile and high thermal energy design enhance mixing and allow for optimized steam injection, resulting in superior product uniformity and density control. The Wenger High Intensity Preconditioner (HIP) facilitates up to 12% steam levels, while the intuitive control interface lets operators monitor the process precisely. This extruder also boasts excellent durability due to its unique metallurgy and specially designed rotating elements and barrel. Ideal for producing various types of pet food, including kibble and treats, the system’s versatility extends to aquatic feed production when integrated with Wenger’s AquaFLEX technology.
