pet food production process
— Richi Machinery —
RICHI has always been at the forefront of feed pelleting and extrusion technology, and attaches great importance to the innovation of pet food production technology.
After communicating with many customers and continuously improving technology, we now have a complete set of production processes in the field of pet food production:
Receiving and processing of raw materials – first crushing and first mixing – second crushing – second mixing – extrusion section – drying section – spraying section – cooling section – packing section
Receiving raw materials
The starting stage of the entire pet food production line is the receipt and storage of raw materials. With more than 20 years of professional experience in storage equipment design and manufacturing, RICHI can build a reasonable raw material storage solution for you.
First crushing and first mixing
The first crushing of raw materials, also called coarse crushing, is mainly aimed at crushing materials that account for a relatively large proportion in the feed formula and improving the working efficiency of ultrafine powder in subsequent processes.
The main equipment used is the hammer mill. After the crushing is completed, the materials are batched through the batching scale and then enter the feed mixer for uniform mixing.
Second crushing
The raw materials used in the production of pet food have relatively high requirements for pellet size, so secondary crushing is usually required in the production of pet food.
The second crushing uses ultra-fine grinder to crush the material to 60-100 mesh, meeting the extrusion requirements of the pet food extruder machine.
Second Mixing
The crushed materials are transported to the mixing bin by the conveyor, and the vitamins, premixes and other additives that need to be added to the feed are put into the mixing bin through the small material feeding port, and then enter the mixer for uniform mixing. The mixing uniformity of the mixer can reach more than 95%.
Extrusion Section
The mixed materials enter the pet food extruder machine. They are fed into the modulator through the frequency conversion feeder, where they are matured under the effects of high temperature, high pressure, and high humidity, and then extruded and sheared under the action of the screw, and finally extruded from the die and cut into extruded food of the required size.
The extrusion section can use a single screw pet food extruder machine or a twin-screw pet food extruder machine according to the needs.
Drying section
The moisture content of the feed pellets coming out of the pet food extruder machine is relatively high, about 18%-20%. If the feed pellets are to be stored for a long time, there is a safe moisture content, which is generally below 13%.
Therefore, the feed coming out of the pet food extruder machine needs to enter the dryer for drying. The moisture content of the extruded foods after drying is 10%-11%.
Spraying Section
After drying, the extruded food can be sprayed with oil, spices, etc. on the surface and inside of the food by using a sprayer, thereby increasing the oil content of the pet feed and improving the palatability of the pet food.
Spraying equipment can be roller sprayers and vacuum sprayers. From the effect point of view, vacuum sprayers are better because they can spray grease into the inside of the food.
Cooling section
The temperature of the food after pelleting or extrusion is relatively high and the pellets are relatively soft. In order to increase the hardness of the pellets, a cooler can be used for cooling.
The food cooler adopts the counter-current cooling principle. The cold air and hot foods exchange heat in the cooling chamber and then are blown out through the suction system to achieve the purpose of cooling.
Packing Section
Using fully automatic packing machine, the feed can be packaged into bags of 10-50 kg, which is easy to store, transport and sell. For some large pet feed mill plant or farms, ton bag scales can also be used.
Pet Food Production Line
This is the standard pet food production process. Each section is modular in design. Not every customer’s pet food production line needs to use all of the above sections. Sections can be added or reduced according to specific needs, and the equipment in each section will also be adjusted according to raw materials, output and other requirements.
All equipment on the pet food production line are customized. According to customer needs, a certain device on the food production line or the entire food production line can be made of stainless steel.

Frequently Asked Questions
I want to produce pet food, fish feed and poultry feed. Is this possible on one feed production line?
Of course, as a professional feed production machine manufacturer, we can design a feed production line for you that can produce a variety of feeds according to your actual production needs.
Many of the equipment on the feed production lines used to produce pet food, fish feed, and poultry feed overlap, such as grinders, mixers, dust removal machines, etc., so these equipment can be shared, but in order to meet the production needs of various feeds such as pet food and poultry feed, it is necessary to equip feed pelletizer and food extruder machine at the same time.
The composite feed production line we designed can not only meet the needs of customers to produce a variety of feeds, but also save investment costs. It is very suitable for customers with a variety of feed production needs.
What are the benefits of using extrusion equipment to produce pet food?
The pet food production line designed by RICHI specifically for the production of pet feed is equipped with feed extruder machine, including single-screw extruder machine and twin-screw extruder machine.
Nowadays, people prefer to use feed extruder machine to produce pet food, mainly for the following reasons:
*Extrusion equipment can improve the palatability of pet food. After extrusion, the pet food becomes crispy and tastes better;
*Extrusion can improve the nutritional value of pet food. Many nutrients in the raw materials used to produce pet food need to be cooked and extruded to achieve the best nutritional value, otherwise pets will have symptoms such as diarrhea after eating;
*During the extrusion process, various molds and other harmful substances in the raw materials are killed by high temperature and high pressure.
Please can i have a quotation for pellet machines for animal feed?
The first question many customers ask us is the price. As a professional pet feed mill plant manufacturer, we have professional quotations, but the prices of different feed pellet machine are different. For example, the prices of feed production machine with different capacitys are very different.
So if you want to know the price of feed pellet machine please tell us your specific needs, such as capacity, raw materials, etc.; if you are not sure about your specific needs, you can directly leave your contact information and the price you want to know. Our professional sales manager will contact you within 24 hours to communicate with you about the equipment you need, and give you professional advice and quotations.
If I want to produce both floating fish feed and sinking fish feed pellet, do I need to purchase two feed production lines to meet my production needs?
No. Some feed mills only produce a single type of feed, such as sinking fish feed, floating fish feed, shrimp feed, chicken feed, cattle feed, etc.; there are also a large number of feed mills that produce multiple types of feed at the same time, which is what we call a compound feed pellet mill.
A compound feed pellet mill does not need to be equipped with two completely different feed production lines, because many equipment can be shared, such as grinders, mixers, coolers, packing machine, etc., as well as auxiliary equipment on the feed production line, can all be shared.
Therefore, you only need to equip different feed pellet machines, feed extruders, etc. according to specific production needs to achieve the purpose of producing a variety of feeds, without the need to purchase two complete feed production lines.
