[0002] A pet food drying device is a specialized appliance for drying pet food. It is primarily used to remove moisture from pet food, extend its shelf life, and preserve its nutritional value.
[0003] Currently, most pet food drying devices have racks that remain stationary inside the drying chamber. Due to varying distances from the heat source, this often leads to uneven drying. To address this, patent CN222783899U discloses a portable pet food dryer, including a drying chamber with an internal rotating mechanism. This mechanism allows for the rotational drying of pet food. The pet food is placed in multiple cages, and then a first motor and multiple second motors are activated. The first motor, via a support frame, simultaneously rotates multiple cages, while the multiple second motors rotate the cages independently at speeds different from the support frame. This dual rotation ensures the pet food is heated, preventing it from piling up and allowing it to fully contact the heat for even drying.
[0004] However, the cage of this device needs to be loaded and unloaded through the inlet / outlet pipes, which can easily cause sticky foods to clog the cage, resulting in low loading and unloading efficiency; moreover, the inside of the cage is not easy to clean and is prone to bacterial growth.
