A dog feed making machine producing dry dog food from a prepared formulation. The machine handles cooking and forming, with drying and coating following in the line.

Producing in-house rather than contract manufacturing gives control over formulation and cost per tonne, and removes the minimum order quantities that contract producers impose. For a brand with a defined recipe and steady volume it is usually the point at which making your own becomes worthwhile. Contact us with your current volumes and we will advise on sizing.

Dog food equipment covering the stages of dry dog food manufacture: mixing, extrusion, cutting, drying, fat and palatant coating, cooling and packing.

Equipment is specified around daily output, the kibble size range in your product list, and the number of recipes being run, since frequent recipe changes affect how the line should be laid out and how much intermediate storage it needs to avoid stopping during changeover. We supply individual machines and complete lines. Contact us with your product range and tonnage for an equipment list and quotation.

A dog food extruder, the machine at the centre of any dry dog food line. It cooks the formulation under heat and pressure and forces it through a die, where it expands and is cut to kibble size.

Extrusion does more than shape the product: it gelatinises the starch and makes the formulation digestible, which is what turns a mix of raw ingredients into food an animal can use. Kibble shape and size are set by die and cutter. Contact us for die options and line requirements.

A dog food extruder machine for producing dry kibble. The extruder cooks and forms the mix in one pass, with cutting at the die face determining kibble size and shape.

Die and cutter together define the finished appearance of the product, which in retail dog food is a significant part of how the brand is recognised. Changing shape is a matter of changing the die rather than modifying the machine. Supplied standalone or at the centre of a complete line. Contact us for available die profiles and sizes.

A dog food extruder making machine supplied for dry kibble production, covering the cooking and forming stage of the process.

Where it sits in the line matters: grinding and mixing come before it and drying, coating and cooling after, and the extruder's throughput sets the rate for everything downstream. Sizing it correctly against the rest of the line is the first thing to settle. Contact us with your target output and we will specify the extruder and the equipment either side of it.

A dog food extruder processing machine for continuous kibble production, taking a prepared mix and delivering cooked, formed kibble ready for the dryer.

Continuous running rather than batch operation is what makes commercial kibble production viable, since the cooking conditions stabilise and then hold, and the product is consistent from the start of a shift to the end. Batch processes drift, and the drift is visible in the finished product. The machine is built for that duty, with the maintenance access daily operation requires. Contact us with your intended daily output for sizing and a quotation.

A dog food extrusion machine producing dry kibble by cooking and expanding the formulation under heat and pressure.

Expansion determines kibble density, which in turn affects how the product behaves in the bag and in the bowl: too dense and it is hard for small dogs to eat, too light and the bag looks underfilled for its weight. Density is controlled through process settings rather than being fixed by the machine. Contact us to discuss the settings appropriate to your product specification.

A dog food machine maker's complete kibble production equipment, supplied and exported from China. The range runs from single machines through to full production lines with material handling and automated control.

We manufacture rather than resell, which means specification changes, additional die profiles and spare parts come from the same source as the machine itself. For buyers importing equipment into regions where technical support is not locally available, continuity of supply for wearing parts matters considerably more than the initial purchase price. Contact us with your requirements and destination port for a quotation covering equipment, export documentation and delivery.

A dog food maker for producing dry kibble, suitable for businesses entering pet food manufacture and for established brands bringing production in-house.

The decision to make rather than buy usually turns on volume and on how much control you need over the formulation. Below a certain tonnage contract manufacture is cheaper; above it, and particularly where recipes change often, in-house production pays. Contact us with your current volumes and we will give an honest view on whether the investment makes sense at your scale.

A dog food maker machine producing dry kibble through extrusion. It cooks the formulation, forms it to shape and cuts it to size, with drying and coating completing the process.

The machine covers a range of kibble shapes and sizes through die and cutter changes, so one unit can serve several products in a range: small breed, large breed and puppy formats are die changes rather than separate machines. Contact us with the shapes and sizes you need and we will confirm the die set required.

A dog food making machine for producing dry kibble from a prepared formulation. The machine handles cooking and forming; the complete line adds drying, coating and cooling.

Whether you need the full line or just the machine depends on what you already have. Producers moving up from small scale equipment often have mixing and packing in place and need only the extrusion and drying stages. We will advise on what is worth keeping. Contact us with details of your existing equipment.

A dog food making machine quoted against your specification. Price depends on capacity, the degree of automation and whether you need the extruder alone or the complete line including drying, coating and packing.

Because those variables move the figure substantially, we quote against a specification rather than publishing a single price. The quotation covers the equipment, export documentation and delivery to your port, so the figure you see is the landed cost rather than the ex-works one. Contact us with your requirements for a detailed quotation.

Dog food making machinery for dry kibble production, supplied as individual machines or as complete lines from mixing through to bagging.

The specification follows from three answers: daily tonnage, the kibble formats in your range, and whether you are starting from nothing or extending existing equipment. Those determine most of the rest, including the extruder configuration and how the drying stage should be sized. We supply new entrants to the market and established producers adding capacity, and the advice differs between the two. Contact us with those details and we will put together an equipment list and quotation.

Dog food manufacturing equipment for commercial scale kibble production, covering the full route from raw material intake through to bagged finished product.

Commercial manufacture brings requirements that small batch equipment does not meet: consistency across long production runs, mechanical material handling between stages rather than manual transfer, and bagging that keeps pace with the line. The equipment is specified for that duty from the outset. Capacity and automation level are agreed at the design stage before manufacture begins. Contact us with your intended output and product range for a plant proposal and quotation.

A dog food pellet machine producing pelleted rather than extruded dog food. Pelleting presses the formulation through a die without the cooking and expansion that extrusion applies, which makes it cheaper to run.

The resulting product is denser and less palatable than extruded kibble, so it suits the economy and bulk feeding end of the market rather than premium retail. Where price per kilo is the deciding factor it is the right process. Contact us to discuss which route suits the product you intend to sell.

A dog food pellet making machine for producing pelleted dog feed. The formulation is compressed through a die under roller pressure, binding it into pellets that carry the complete ration in each piece.

This process costs less per tonne than extrusion in both capital outlay and energy consumption, which makes it the practical choice for kennels, working dog feed and economy products where cost per kilo matters more than appearance or palatability. Pellet diameter is changed by fitting a different die. Contact us with your market, your formulation and your tonnage for a recommendation and quotation.

A dog food plant supplied as a complete installation, covering raw material intake, grinding, mixing, extrusion, drying, coating, cooling, and bagging.

Specifying it as a plant rather than assembling machines means every stage is sized against the others from the start. In kibble production the dryer is most often the limiting stage, and a plant designed around extruder throughput alone will not reach its stated output. We size around the whole process. Contact us with your target tonnage and building dimensions for a layout.

A dog food press machine forming dog feed by compression rather than extrusion, pressing the prepared material through a die to produce a dense pellet or shaped piece.

Compression is simpler and cheaper to run than extrusion, at the cost of palatability and digestibility, since the formulation is not cooked during the process and the starch is not gelatinised. For economy products and bulk kennel feeding where cost per kilo governs the sale, that trade is usually acceptable. Contact us to discuss whether pressing or extrusion suits the product and market you are aiming at.

A dog food processing extruder for continuous kibble manufacture, cooking and forming the mix in a single pass before cutting at the die face.

Extruder configuration is specified around the formulation rather than the tonnage: high fat or high fresh meat inclusion needs a twin screw machine, while standard dry recipes run reliably on a single screw at significantly lower cost. Choosing the wrong one is an expensive mistake to correct once the equipment has shipped. Contact us with your formulation details and we will recommend the configuration that will run them.

A dog food processing line for continuous dry kibble production, supplied as a matched set covering mixing, extrusion, drying, fat and palatant coating, cooling and packing.

The stages are sized together so the line runs at a steady rate rather than queueing at one machine. In kibble lines the dryer is usually the stage that limits throughput, since drying time cannot be compressed the way throughput elsewhere can, and sizing it correctly from the start is what determines whether the line meets its rated output.
