2. Model and capacity:

Actual equipment capacity depends on the raw materials in the formula and the pellet size.

3. Equipment description:

3.1 Production line configuration:

Line configurations are custom-designed for each customer based on capacity, production requirements and automation needs. DEXIYA production lines with a capacity of less than 1 ton per hour are mainly offered in basic, standard and premium configurations. Lines with a capacity above 1 ton/hour feature a higher degree of automation, where every stage from raw material handling to finished product packaging can be controlled automatically, improving production efficiency and reducing labor costs.

3.1.1 Basic line configuration:

The most basic feed production process includes ingredient mixing, pellet extrusion, drying, fat and flavor spraying, cooling and finished feed packaging. The simplest configuration of a small line can be as follows:

① Mixer

② Screw Conveyor

③ Twin Screw Extruder

④ Air Conveyor

⑤ Electric Dryer

⑥ Belt Conveyor

⑦ Double Drum Oil Sprayer

We adjust the line configuration according to customers' actual production needs and provide a customized solution. For example, vertical mixer or horizontal mixer with an automatic water addition device; extruder with a pre-conditioner; multi-layer reciprocating dryer with electricity, gas, or steam as the heat source; drum or vacuum fat coater for pellets; semi-automatic or automatic packaging machine; etc.

3.1.2 Automated line:

Large-scale feed production lines require a higher degree of automation to ensure production efficiency. A complete large-scale automated line consists of several sections, from raw material handling to finished pellet packaging. The DXY premium pet food line mainly includes the following sections:

①Raw Material Feeding and Cleaning Section:

Ø Raw Material Sources:

- Granular raw materials: whole grains such as wheat, rice, corn, etc.;

- Powdered raw materials: meat and bone meal, fish meal, etc.

Ø Main Tasks: iron and impurity removal.

Ø Main Process:

- Granular raw materials: raw material feeding → lifting → initial screening and cleaning (removal of large impurities) → permanent magnet cylinder (iron removal) → feeding into the crushing chamber;

- Powdered raw materials: raw material feeding → lifting → powder screening (impurity removal) → permanent magnet cylinder (iron removal) → feeding into the dosing silo.

② Ingredient Dosing and Mixing Section:

Ø  Number of Ingredients: Adjustable based on the customer's recipe and raw materials, ranging from 7–8 in simple recipes to 25 in complex ones.

Ø  Technical Process: From raw material dosing to the buffer bin, the entire process is a computer-controlled automated closed loop.

③ Raw material grinding section:

Ø Main task: ensuring powder fineness.

Ø Main equipment: hammer mill: it uses high-speed rotating hammers to impact the material, together with screens with various hole sizes to control grinding fineness. For the production of fine pet food, where even higher raw material fineness is required, an ultra-fine grinder can be added after this stage for secondary grinding.

④ Secondary raw material mixing section:

Ø Main task and function:

To thoroughly mix all powdered raw materials, such as grain and meat meal, that were processed separately earlier, ensuring a higher degree of homogeneity. A spraying system can be fitted to add a small amount of oil or liquid additives to improve the quality of the final product.

Ø Main equipment: high-efficiency twin-shaft paddle mixer.

This type of mixer features a short mixing cycle, high efficiency and low residue, meeting the requirements of large-scale continuous production.

⑤ Pellet extrusion section:

Ø Main task: conditioning and extrusion expansion.

Ø Process effects and high standards:

- Production of various animal feeds: by changing the formula, screws, etc., the twin-screw extruder can produce floating, sinking and slow-sinking feeds.

- Shaping the product's form and flavor: by changing the die, it can produce pellets of various shapes, such as round, bone-shaped and heart-shaped, and adjust their size. At the same time, the high-temperature, high-pressure process gives the pellets a unique aroma, eliminates anti-nutritional factors and harmful microorganisms, and improves the hygienic quality of the feed.

⑥ Feed drying section:

Ø Main equipment: multi-layer reciprocating dryer; heat sources: electricity, gas and steam.

Ø Features: wet pellets enter from the top layer of the dryer, move forward along a stainless steel belt and drop to the next layer for reverse transport, repeating this process to form an S-shaped path. This design significantly increases feed drying time within a limited floor area.

Ø Working principle: hot air is generated by electricity, gas or steam and is forced to circulate inside, penetrating the pellet layer and removing moisture. At the same time, the dehumidification system removes hot, humid air and replaces it with dry air, creating a dynamic equilibrium.

⑦ Liquid and dry additive spraying section: 

Ø Main task: applying multiple coating layers, with each layer impregnated with flavor.

Ø High coating quality depends on ensuring efficient and uniform surface coverage of every feed pellet by each coating component. The standard sequence is usually as follows:

- Oil spraying: first spray oil (e.g., chicken fat or fish oil). This not only raises the energy value and palatability but, more importantly, provides a "binder" for the powdered palatants applied afterwards;

- Liquid flavor spraying: spraying liquid palatants or flavors to further enhance taste;

- Powdering: dusting with powdered palatants (also known as flavors). They adhere to the surface of the oiled pellets and come into direct contact with the pet's olfactory and taste receptors, maximizing aroma release.

Ø Main equipment and processes: from atmospheric pressure to vacuum.

- Mixing sprayer: typically a twin-shaft paddle or trough mixer is used as the mixing chamber. The components are intensively mixed inside while a nozzle sprays the mixture, and the mixing time can be precisely controlled.

- Vacuum fat coater: using the pressure difference, air is evacuated from the pores inside the pellets by vacuum, after which liquids such as fat are sprayed under vacuum. Finally, the pressure is released, forcing the liquid into the pellets. Fully automated PLC control precisely manages vacuum pressure, liquid addition and the spraying cycle, ensuring stable coating results and consistent product quality for every batch.

⑧ Finished feed packaging section:

Ø Cooling before packaging is the final stage in the pet food production line. Its main task is to rapidly and evenly cool the dried and flavored pellets to almost room temperature, preparing them for subsequent weighing and packaging.

Ø Packaging is the final stage of the pet food production line. Its main task is to accurately, efficiently and hygienically pack the cooled finished pellets from the previous stage into final retail packaging according to the specified specifications. This is a highly automated process that is crucial not only for the product's appearance but also for ensuring its quality, extending shelf life and, ultimately, delivering it to consumers.

Ø Main equipment: automatic multi-head packaging machine for pre-made bags or film bags.

4. Raw materials and formula:

The raw materials for dog and cat food production are dry and liquid ingredients such as meat and bone meal, fish meal, animal by-products and offal (minced), grain meal (wheat, rice, corn)...

On our equipment, formulas can vary. We provide basic formulas together with the equipment and give the customer technical advice for developing new formulations.

5. Feed pellets:

Our equipment produces high-quality dog and cat food; pellet size and shape are adjusted by changing the die of the twin-screw extruder. Pellets can be round, oval, square, triangular, bone-shaped, etc.
