Pet Food Freeze Dryer
Freeze-drying is a proven process for producing pet food with extremely low moisture content that can be stored unopened at room temperature for longer than traditional pet food without spoilage. Most pets love the taste of freeze-dried raw food, even those who have lost their appetite.
The pet food freeze dryer brings a unique business advantage to the pet food industry by being able to process products of any moisture content without destroying the physical structure of the product. Our pet food freeze dryer is designed to be flexible and provide high quality, efficient and repeatable results. Regardless of the type of food being processed, high quality drying results are achieved consistently and efficiently. These features provide pet food companies with a clear commercial competitive advantage.
Why Freeze Drying
- Preserves the nutritional value of the food: Freeze-drying preserves nutrients, enzyme activity, flavor, color and biological activity in pet food while removing moisture without compromising product quality.
- Create new value-added benefits: Freeze-drying technology can be applied to fresh or frozen pet food ingredients to create entirely new product lines while maintaining existing processes, resulting in additional value-added benefits.
- Reduce by-product waste: Innovative use of by-products from the food industry can reduce the amount of waste and achieve efficient use of resources, resulting in reduced environmental impact.
Advantages of Freeze Drying
- Unique product characteristics: Freeze drying offers significant advantages over other drying methods. In this process, the product is not heated or damaged, but dried by removing water. This prevents the product from becoming hard due to shrinkage, while maintaining the stability of the product’s chemical composition. In addition, the freeze-drying process creates a honeycomb texture on the surface of the product while maintaining the original size and shape of the product.
- Flexibility: Freeze-drying technology has a very flexible range of applications and is particularly suited to pet food production. Not only is it possible to process pet food in a wide range of moisture contents, but it is also possible to produce pet food in a variety of forms, including whole, sliced, chopped, pulp or liquid.
- Longer shelf life: Because moisture is removed from the freeze-dried product, it can be stored for a longer period of time. By using appropriate packaging methods and materials, food quality can also be better maintained and the shelf life of the product can be extended.
- Broader applications: By providing state-of-the-art freeze dryers to support the pet food and animal nutrition industries, the removal of moisture through freeze drying technology results in stable products with extended shelf life while preserving nutrients, flavor and aroma. Whether as snacks, chews, complete meals or supplements, all pet foods can benefit from freeze-drying technology. Meat, offal, fruits, vegetables, seafood and other ingredients can all be freeze dried.
