Pet Food Processing
•Application Sheet: Pet Food Processing
K-Tron feeders are used for a variety of applications within the pet food manufacturing process. Screw feeders (both volumetric and loss-in-weight), liquid loss-in-weight, and weigh belt feeders are used for metering and high accuracy feeding of ingredients into a mixer (batch or continuous), an extruder, and before the packaging line.
Meal Batching and Blending:
When creating pet meal blends in the industry , two types of operations are used. In a continuous approach, various components including meat and grain meals, vitamins, minerals and other ingredients are fed to a continuous mixer. This approach is used with weight belt feeders, provided the number of ingredients is limited. When working on a batch basis, a more economical option is to use a Gain-in-weight (GIW) batch design for these same dry ingredients, using volumetric feeders for the ingredient feed and a separate hopper on load cells for the GIW verification.
