The Purr-fect Formula:
Pet food manufacturing at SPX FLOW involves a meticulous process that ensures the safety, quality, and nutritional integrity of kibble.
- Step 1: High quality ingredients are added-in and blended down into a slurry-like mixture
- Step 2: More extensive mixing at high speeds gradually then thickens the slurry
- Step 3: The milkshake-like consistency is baked, and the coagulation of meat proteins takes place
- Step 4: Efficient food dryers cool the kibble at a temperature and pace that preserves the ideal texture
- Step 5: To protect future batches, run the appropriate amount of cleaning fluid to clean and rinse the product line
Whether it's crafting nutritious recipes, conducting quality testing, or innovating new products, manufacturers play a crucial role in enriching the lives of pets around the world.
