Pet Food Extrusion Machines

When your pet food production process requires extrusion machines or mixers, cutters, ovens, and other efficient, cost-effective solutions, Reading Bakery Systems consistently meets the needs of manufacturers around the globe to make their production processes safer, more flexible and more efficient than ever before.

Reading Bakery Systems, headquartered in Robesonia, Pennsylvania, offers more than 120 years of experience in food engineering, which enables us to design and manufacture the world’s most advanced unit machines and turnkey systems for the production of dry pet food, pet treats, and a wide range of other snack products.

Extruded Pet Treats

The Reading Pretzel Low Pressure (LP) Extruder enables pet food and pet treat manufacturers to produce consistent and accurate structural, flat and filled extruded and co-extruded shapes and sticks, even when working with characteristics unique to the production of pet food.

The LP Extruder provides a more flexible, cost-effective alternative to conventional dough forming and sheeting systems for customers who produce a variety of pet treats.

Features include the ability to broaden your product range by substituting different compression heads and dies. Product changeover can be accomplished in minutes, and extruders can be configured with multiple die sets in 13? (325mm) and 15? (375mm) wide increments.

When your pet foods or treats involve soft fillings, the Reading Pretzel Filled Stick Extruder System is another option to consider. It consists of a Low Pressure Extruder and pump system that combine raw batches of dough and dough filling into a specifically shaped filled rope.
