Pet food production line

Enhance your pet food production with a seamless, efficient system that emulsifies, extrudes, and packages protein-rich bites, ensuring diverse shapes and flavors with precision.

Processes and Forms Pet Food with Precision

The Selo pet food production line, featuring the Ocelot and Cheetah series, is engineered to transform raw materials into diverse pet food products with optimal efficiency. This system integrates emulsifying, extruding, forming, cooking, and packaging processes in a seamless continuous operation. Designed for pet food manufacturers, it excels at producing cat food in gravy and dog food in jelly by forming meat emulsions into customizable shapes through a series of precise extrusions and steam tunnel cooking. The adaptable conveyor system allows for quick changes in product shape and size, enhancing production flexibility.

With a processing capacity ranging from 250 kg to 5000 kg, the line supports both large-scale and smaller batch productions. Real-time in-line dosing ensures product variety and consistency, supplemented by optional metal detection for enhanced safety. This line also supports integration with existing systems, featuring multihead weighers and packaging machines for streamlined operations. The hygienic design, compliant with EHEDG standards, ensures ease of cleaning and maintenance, while a specialized agitator facilitates lump-free mixing of gravies and jellies. Suitable for industries focusing on food and pet food processing, the Selo line offers customizable engineering support to meet specific production demands.
