PET Food Processing - June 2019 - 43

High-protein pet food and pet treat formulas can be
difficult to process efficiently and cost effectively in high
volumes, but Henry says Extru-Tech has found solutions that work. "The ever-changing landscape of pet
food products has required us to continually enhance
our single-screw solution to competitively produce these
complicated diets," Henry says. He adds that innovations
to auxiliary extrusion equipment, such as preconditioners
and product diversion systems, have been a key factor to
making it possible for these complex formulas to be produced on single-screw extruders.
Wenger and Clextral have found success in adapting
twin-screw extruders to produce high-meat pet food formulations reliably and with relative ease. "The twin-screw
extruder, due to its intermeshing screw design, achieves
the highest levels of mixing intensity and quality to
ensure density control, starch gelatinization, controlled
protein denaturation and homogeneous mixing, which
are essential to more complex, multi-ingredient pet foods
and treats," Brisset says. This ensures all ingredients are
exposed to the same temperature, shear and retention
time, and enhances the consistency and safety of the
finished product.
"Another key feature for production of highmeat kibble is the important ability to measure and
control process parameters such as moisture, water activity and product density through on-line
sensors," Rokey adds. These additions have improved extrusion technology making it possible to
achieve reliable results when processing specialized
pet foods.

ASKING THE
RIGHT QUESTIONS
Galen Rokey, director, process technology, pet
food, Wenger, highlights key questions processors should consider when looking to add or
improve high-meat inclusion capabilities.
1. Can my equipment manage high moisture
inputs without stalling or surging?
2. Will my process be able to control around
the required temperatures, not causing early
denaturization of the meat which may lead
WRLQFUHDVHGSURGXFW¿QHVDQGVSHFL¿FSURduction challenges?
3. Will my system be able to gently handle
high-meat recipes without the need for costly
ingredients for binding?
4:LOO LQFUHDVHG ¿QHV DQG SURGXFW GHIRUPDtion be a concern based on my systems
current product handling capabilities?
5. What conveyance and product handling
systems will be required post-extuder to
maintain product integrity?
