Pet Food Manufacturing, Process Extruders

A pet food manufacturing facility was looking for better temperature control at the extruders for a more consistent product viscosity. The customer required:

  • Replacement of an inefficient sparging system for better temperature control
  • Better flow control and turn down capabilities
  • Improved consistency of batches

Design Conditions

Water Flow Rate: 2 to 13 gpm
Water Inlet Temperature: 65°F
Water Outlet Temperature: 200°F
Water Inlet Pressure: 60 psig
Steam Pressure: 120 psig
