Temperature Control of Fresh Blended and Frozen Pet Foods

Pet Food Production

Premium Pet Food

For a growing segment of the population, pets are people, too. At least when it comes to better quality pet food options. As pet owners become more health and ingredient conscious for their own diets it carries over into the health of their pets and the ingredients that they look for in their pets’ food.

Higher Productivity for High Quality Products

Rapid heat removal with either liquid nitrogen or pressurized carbon dioxide gas precisely controls the processing temperature in premium pet food products. Exact processing temperature helps to ensure the thorough incorporation of protein, fat, seasoning and essential ingredients during grinding and mixing for fresh products. For frozen pet meal and treat products, either nitrogen or carbon dioxide systems quickly reduce product temperature to a set target temperature improving production rate and maintaining high product quality. A perfect start-up size for freezing pet foods is the CRYOLINE^® CF cabinet freezer for racked product.

Maintain Quality, Decrease Chilling Time

In pet food manufacturing, time is money. Through the use of liquid carbon dioxide or nitrogen, Linde's ACCU-CHILL^® CBC and ACCU-CHILL^® LXC injection systems help pet food manufacturers shorten chilling and freezing times and maintain cool temperatures throughout the process. The ACCU-CHILL CBC system mixes a cryogen with your continuously flowing product removing unwanted heat and cooling to the desired in-process temperature. Linde's ACCU-CHILL LXC system accurately chills batch mixing processes by precisely controlling the injection scheme keeping unwanted heat at bay while allowing your process to complete a uniform mix thereby increasing throughput and quality.
