In the world of animal nutrition<\/strong>, the technology used in food manufacturing is of fundamental importance. This is reflected mainly in the type of machinery used during the grinding, processing or drying processes<\/strong>, some of the essential phases included in the production of food for pets and aquaculture fish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The technical specifications of this type of industrial machinery will have a direct impact on the final quality of the food items produced. Investment in R&D&I is vital for ensuring a final result that ensures the improved processing of raw materials, reduced costs, guaranteed sustainability and better animal health. <\/strong>\u00a0In this sense, the best option is engineering that offers a production process with the following characteristics:

\u2013 Efficiency.
\u2013 Speed.
\u2013 Easy maintenance and cleaning.
\u2013 Quality control.
\u2013 Great final food taste and digestibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But what optimal functions should the machinery used at each stage of the production and transformation process of food for pets and aquaculture fish? Let\u2019s look at a few examples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingredient grinding<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Grinders are one of the main elements used in the production of animal food. Its\u00a0main technical features<\/strong>\u00a0should include the following:

\u2013 Guaranteed capacity for grinding both fresh and frozen meat, as well as other ingredients, including fine and thick products, without the need to change any of the mechanical parts.
\u2013 Possibility of full assembly and disassembly.
\u2013 The use of stainless steel parts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this sense, choosing the right brand and technology will have\u00a0a positive direct impact on the final product.<\/strong> Below are a number of the principal benefits:

\u2013 The possibility of obtaining final products with differentiated textures tailored to meet varying needs:\u00a0\u00a0 mousse, p\u00e2t\u00e9, pieces, etc.
\u2013 Enhanced product tasted, adapted to each breed and species.
\u2013 Optimum grain definition following grinding. \u2013 Controlled temperature that maintains grinding quality, preventing squashing and excessive softness.
\u2013 Grinding fresh meat immediately prior to mixing with the dry ingredients, thereby guaranteeing freshness and correct processing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Food processing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Derwent Group, we are pioneers in extrusion technology<\/strong>, one of the most commonly used processes in food production. This process guarantees greater food density, lower levels of moisture and enhanced preservation. Extrusion can be used to produce all types of food: floating, fast or slow sinking feed, in accordance with the needs of each species. In order to guarantee\u00a0the most appropriate production processes<\/strong>, the machinery used should feature the following:

\u2013 Insulated cold storage chambers to preserve the cold chain and product quality.
\u2013 Dual axis mixing \/ kneading machine.
\u2013 Extra fine grinding of the raw material (0.2 mm).
\u2013 Electronically controlled dispenser.
\u2013 Option of preparing and mixing meat of different species.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These characteristics will allow for the production of food products with the following benefits:

\u2013 Dry foods with a high fresh meat content.
\u2013 Outstanding taste and digestibility.
\u2013 Homogenous mix of fresh meat and dehydrated ingredients.
\u2013 Improved absorption of the oil and covering sauce, making the food tastier.
\u2013 Food with a lower adjusted level of inorganic content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drying line<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the food drying process, in addition to the main drying machine, it is advisable to have a transport system<\/strong> that allows for the delicate handling of the product to prevent any breakages.  Stainless steel machinery<\/strong> is the best option to prevent corrosion and allow for easy cleaning. For the drying process, gravity-based vertical flow technology <\/strong>is one of the most innovative options available on the market.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This type of drying facilities offers the following benefits, guaranteeing an\u00a0 \u00a0optimal procedure:<\/strong>

\u2013 Energy efficiency: savings on gas and electricity in comparison with conventional systems.
\u2013 Versatile product drying: a range of 1 mm to > 20 mm.
\u2013 Uniform moisture levels of the final product.
\u2013 Automatic and independent monitoring of the air volume and temperature, as well as drying times for each zone.
\u2013 Automatic and ongoing measuring of drying air humidity and product moisture levels.
\u2013 Prevention of food cross-contamination.
\u2013 Reduction of inspection and cleaning times.
\u2013 Fewer mechanical parts movements, cutting maintenance and repair times.
\u2013 Lower temperature of the air released into the atmosphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are just three clear examples of how effective investment in machine innovation and technology used in animal food products can have a highly positive impact on both product development and the end result.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
