3-4 tons pet food processing process design

The pet feed production process of this 3-4t/h pet food processing plant in Russia project is as follows:

1. Feeding:
   At the feeding port, wheat, rice, rice bran, and premix are manually poured into the feeding machine. The feeding port is in a negative pressure state. The dust generated during the feeding process is introduced into the bag dust collector for treatment.
2. Coarse screening:
   The purchased materials contain a certain amount of impurities, such as pebbles, small straws, etc. These impurities are removed by coarse screening. The coarse screening equipment is sealed.
3. Mixing:
   Mixing is carried out after coarse screening. Mixing is carried out in the mixer to fully mix the above materials. The mixing equipment is sealed.
4. Crushing:
   Crushing is carried out on an automatic crusher. Dust will be generated during the crushing process, which will be discharged after being treated by a bag dust collector.
5. Screening:
   Screening is carried out after crushing to screen out the incompletely crushed particles, which are returned to the crushing section through automatic equipment. The screening equipment is sealed.
6. Extrusion:
   Extrusion and puffing are carried out through a pet food extruder machine.
7. Feeding:
   The extruded pet food pellets are lifted to the drying equipment through an automatic feeder. The feeding equipment is fully sealed, and no dust is generated and discharged during the feeding process.
8. Drying:
   The extruded pet food pellets product are dried in the pet food dryer. The heat for drying comes from the natural gas boiler, and the drying temperature is 80-100℃.
9. Spraying:
   Grease is sprayed onto the dried product through an automatic spraying machine. The spraying equipment is fully sealed, and no exhaust gas is generated during the spraying process.
10. Cooling:
    Cooling is carried out by air cooling. The smell of grease will be generated during the air cooling process, which will be discharged at high altitude after being treated by an activated carbon adsorption device.
11. Powder spraying:
    Finally, gluten, purple potato powder, meat and bone meal, and fish meal are sprayed on the product. The powder spraying process is fully sealed and no waste gas is generated or discharged.
12. Inspection and packaging:
    Check whether the product meets the quality requirements. Unqualified products will be produced during the inspection process. Qualified products will be packaged, and unqualified products will be crushed and then reprocessed.

What is the prospect of building a pet food processing plant in Russia?

‌The prospect of building a pet food processing plant in Russia is very broad, mainly based on the following considerations:

• First, the pet breeding rate in Russia continues to rise. As of 2023, more than 50% of Russian households have pets, of which cats account for more than 40%. This trend shows that there is a huge demand for pet feed, especially in large cities, where the number of pets is increasing.
• Secondly, the Russian pet food market shows strong growth potential. In 2024, the Russian pet food market is expected to exceed US$6.2 billion, and is expected to exceed US$10.8 billion by 2029, with a compound annual growth rate of 11.7%. This shows that the pet feed market is not only in high demand, but also growing rapidly, providing a good market foundation for new feed mills.
• In addition, the segmentation and high-quality demand of the Russian pet food market have increased. As pet owners pay more attention to the health of their pets, the pet food market has gradually been segmented into dry food, wet food, snacks, functional food, etc. to meet the health needs of different pets. This provides diversified product development space and market demand for new pet feed mills.

However, the Russian pet food market also faces some challenges. For example, the reduction in the variety of imported pet food has led to a decline in online channel sales, and changes in consumer shopping habits have put pressure on the retail industry.

In addition, the problem of counterfeit products is serious. Russia stipulates that from September 1, 2024, all imported pet food must be labeled to ensure the traceability of the supply chain. These challenges require new pet food processing plant in Russia to be prepared in terms of product quality control and market strategy.

In summary, the prospects for building pet feed mills in Russia are very optimistic, with large market demand and rapid growth, but challenges such as market competition and counterfeit products need to be addressed. By providing high-quality and diversified products and strengthening supply chain management, new feed mills are expected to succeed in the Russian pet feed market.
