Continuous Mixing Technology

If your pet food dough suffers from undesirable variations from batch to batch, one of the first improvements you can make is to switch from batch mixing to continuous mixing.

Continuous Mixing offers many advantages over batch mixing, particularly in the ability to produce more consistent dough with less labor and energy.

The Exact EX Continuous Mixer is ideal for both soft, chewy and hard, crunchy pet food. It uniformly mixes products with a variety of dough moisture levels. This mixer offers dough production rates from 100 to 10,000 kg/hour.

Innovative Forming Solutions

For rotary molded pet food and treats, the Thomas L. Green Rotary Molder efficiently produces high definition, three dimensional shapes by pressing dough into a die roll. The interchangeable die roll is made of engraved brass and can be supplied with segmented rings for simultaneous, multiple shape production.

For extruded and co-extruded products, the Reading Pretzel Low Pressure (LP) Extruder will enable you to create a variety of structural, flat and filled extruded and co-extruded shapes and sticks. It provides a more flexible, cost-effective alternative to conventional dough forming and sheeting systems for customers who produce a variety of pet treats.

For sheeted pet treat products, the Thomas L. Green Sheeter will create a consistent dough sheet and Gauging Stations will ensure accurate thickness prior to forming. Form scrapless geometric shapes and distinct shapes with the Rotary Cutting Station.
