OUR FACILITY

Precision Manufacturing Process

Advanced twin-screw extruder unit ZH95 with biaxial differential conditioner for fish feed production

Advanced Extrusion System

Our high-torque extruders feature dynamic twin-screw profiles with optional bimetallic (Tungsten Carbide) barrels for extreme wear resistance against high-bone-meal recipes. Advanced pre-conditioners enable high fresh meat inclusion.

low temperature macaroni belt dryer

Thermodynamic Drying Oven

Multi-layer stainless steel belt dryers equipped with precise temperature zoning. Reduces kibble moisture efficiently to ensure optimal water activity (aw) levels, preventing mold growth and extending shelf life.

Continuous single drum flavoring line with oil sprayer for fish feed surface coating

Dual-Axis Coating & Flavoring System

A continuous rotating drum integrated with high-pressure atomizing sprayers. Ensures lipids and liquid digest (flavor enhancers) perfectly penetrate the kibble matrix for superior palatability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our pet food extrusion lines

Yes. Our advanced extruders, equipped with biaxial differential pre-conditioners, are engineered to handle high fresh meat inclusion (typically 20%-40%), enabling you to produce premium, highly palatable pet food.
For standard production, we use premium 38CrMoAl nitrided alloy steel. For heavy-duty wear (high bone meal), we strongly recommend our bimetallic coating configurations, which drastically prolong the lifespan of screws and barrels and minimize your maintenance downtime.
Absolutely. We supply foundational, highly-tested recipes (including grain-free and high-protein formulas) to help new investors start their production smoothly and achieve high nutritional standards immediately.
Our highly scalable ZH-series automated lines cater to diverse needs, ranging from 100 kg/h for boutique pet food brands up to 5 Ton/h for heavy-industrial commercial feed mills.
Yes, we offer complete turnkey project delivery. We dispatch experienced engineers directly to your facility overseas for on-site mechanical installation, commissioning, and comprehensive operational training for your local staff.
We offer a reliable 2-year warranty for our main extrusion equipment. For wear and tear components, we maintain a robust global supply chain to ensure lifetime rapid spare parts delivery, minimizing any potential downtime.
