Pet Food
Boost the protein content of your cat, dog, or rabbit food.
Smooth Operation
Computerized programmable logic control for easy operation with an optional human machine interface control panel
Counter-Rotating Twin Screw Extruder
A revolutionary extrusion system designed to meet your food formulation's toughest challenges.
The ContraTwin is designed with twin-screw extrusion features but with re-engineered screw designs and rotation direction to accommodate future feed formulation. Developed to convey very sticky and puffy material (such as high fiber materials like plant protein), ContraTwin uses a very positive pump that does not waste mechanical energy or shear. For tougher materials, operators can perform cooking in the mid-barrel system. The result of this strong pump and cooking significantly increases efficiency and utilizes low Specific Mechanical Energy (SME) when compared with other single or co-rotating twin-screw extrusions.
Whether you’re processing aqua feed or animal feed, this extruder can maximize your output. The twin-screw design enables the incorporation of higher protein content in the formulation of aqua feed for floating and sinking, and is suitable for the production of cat food, dog food, rabbit food, or any pet food which needs incorporation of high protein content in the formulation.
