Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet food processing equipment technology, specifically an automated production line for processing wet pet food. Background Technology
[0002] Wet pet food refers to pet food with a moisture content of no less than 60%. It is usually in the form of meat puree, meat paste, or meat jelly. It is divided into nutritionally balanced staple foods suitable for long-term consumption and palatable snacks suitable for extra meals. It is suitable for the physiological characteristics of young and senior pets, helping to regulate urinary and gastrointestinal health issues, solving picky eating problems, and aligning with modern refined feeding concepts. It is suitable for convenient feeding scenarios such as working professionals and pets on the go, and meets the dietary needs of special breeds of pets. It is characterized by containing fresh ingredients, high palatability, and easy digestibility. When producing wet pet food, the process generally begins with cleaning and mincing meat and offal that have passed quarantine, and chopping vegetables and fruits (with grains pre-cooked). Nutritional additives, oils, and emulsifiers are then added according to the formula. After mixing and high-speed emulsification, a stable mixture is formed. The materials are then precisely filled into packaging containers and vacuum-sealed. Next, the containers are placed in an autoclave for high-temperature and high-pressure sterilization at around 121°C (the time is adjusted as needed). After sterilization, the food is quickly cooled to room temperature. Finally, samples are taken to test for indicators such as moisture, nutrients, and microorganisms. Once the food passes the test, it is stored and sold.
[0003] However, existing technologies have the following problems in practical use; Existing equipment for processing pet food involves independent processes requiring manual handling, resulting in low efficiency. Natural thawing takes 1-2 hours or more, occupying significant time and space. Furthermore, the non-vacuum chopping method leads to high gas content in the product, affecting shelf life.

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0016] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 9This utility model provides a technical solution: an automated production line for processing wet pet food, including a water-circulating thawing machine 1, a meat coarse chopper 2, and a steam maturation tower 3. The output end of the water-circulating thawing machine 1 is detachably connected to a conveyor belt 4 for transmission. The output end of the conveyor belt 4 is detachably connected to the input end of the meat coarse chopper 2. A first spiral elevator 5 is installed at the lower end of the discharge port of the meat coarse chopper 2. The output end of the first spiral elevator 5 is detachably connected to the input end of the steam maturation tower 3. A second spiral elevator 6 is installed at the lower end of the steam maturation tower 3. Both the first and second spiral elevators 5 and 6 have supporting frames 28 at their lower ends. Discharge pipes 29 are detachably connected to the output ends of both the first and second spiral elevators 5 and 6. A vacuum chopper 7 is detachably connected to the output end of the second spiral elevator 6. A twin-screw pump 30 is connected to the output end of the vacuum chopper 7 via a flange. A device for... A supporting placement plate 26 is provided, with supporting feet 27 at the four corners of the lower end of the placement plate 26. A quantitative filling machine 8 is provided at the output end of the twin screw pump 30. A viewing window 24 for observation is provided on one side of the quantitative filling machine 8. A controller 25 is provided on the outer surface of the quantitative filling machine 8 near the viewing window 24. A can cleaning machine 9 is detachably connected to the input end of the quantitative filling machine 8. A first conveyor belt 10 for conveying is provided at the output end of the quantitative filling machine 8. A load-bearing plate 22 is bolted to both sides of the first conveyor belt 10. A baffle 23 for material positioning is detachably connected to the upper end of both load-bearing plates 22 to limit the lateral displacement of the material during the conveying process. A vacuum capping machine 11 is provided at the other end of the first conveyor belt 10. A steam sterilizer 12 is provided at the output end of the vacuum capping machine 11. A counter-pressure water cooler 13 for cooling is fixedly connected to one side of the steam sterilizer 12. A second conveyor belt 14 is detachably connected to the output end of the counter-pressure water cooler 13. Through the above technical solution, during use, the meat coarse chopper 2 can initially cut the thawed whole piece of meat into smaller chunks or granules, providing pretreatment for subsequent fine chopping and mixing, and improving the efficiency of subsequent processes. The first spiral elevator 5 is located below the meat coarse chopper 2, receiving the coarsely chopped meat chunks. The spiral blades rotate to lift the material upwards and transport it to the inlet of the steam cooking tower 3, adapting to the height difference between the equipment and realizing vertical material transfer. The steam cooking tower 3 can then use high-temperature steam to heat and cook the coarsely chopped meat, killing some microorganisms in the raw materials and denaturing the meat proteins, making it easier for subsequent processing and pet digestion and absorption. The output of the steam cooking tower 3 is received by the second spiral elevator 6. The cooked meat is lifted and conveyed to the vacuum chopper 7 via a screw drive, connecting the cooking and chopping processes to ensure continuous material transport. Simultaneously, the frame 28 at the lower end of the first and second screw elevators 5 and 6 provides a stable support structure for the screw elevators, bearing the weight of the equipment and the material, ensuring stable operation of the elevators in inclined or vertical states and preventing shaking. Furthermore, the discharge pipe 29 guides the material output from the screw elevators precisely into the next piece of equipment, preventing spillage and improving conveying efficiency. The vacuum chopper 7 then finely chops the cooked meat in a vacuum environment, breaking it into a minced meat state. Vegetables, nutritional additives, and other auxiliary materials can be mixed in, resulting in a uniform texture and delicate taste. The environment prevents material oxidation and deterioration. After chopping, the twin-screw pump 30 can extract minced meat from the output of the vacuum chopper 7. Through the meshing rotation of the twin screws, the high-viscosity minced meat is stably and pulsatlessly transported to the quantitative filling machine 8, avoiding material blockage and ensuring conveying efficiency and stability. The placement plate 26 at the lower end of the twin-screw pump 30 bears the weight of the twin-screw pump 30, while the support feet 27 support the placement plate 26 at a certain height, ensuring the docking accuracy between the pump body and the upstream and downstream equipment and reducing vibration during operation. The quantitative filling machine 8 can receive the minced meat transported by the twin-screw pump 30 and accurately fill the material into the cleaned empty cans according to the preset weight or volume, ensuring the weight consistency of each can and meeting standardized production requirements. At the same time, during filling... Meanwhile, the can cleaning machine 9 can clean and disinfect empty cans used for filling, removing impurities, oil, and microorganisms from the container surface to ensure the hygiene and safety of the packaging containers and prevent contamination of materials. The viewing window 24 on the side of the quantitative filling machine 8 allows operators to observe the filling process inside, facilitating real-time monitoring of the filling progress, identifying blockages or leaks, and adjusting equipment parameters accordingly. The controller 25 can set parameters such as the filling volume and speed of the quantitative filling machine 8 for automated control and displays the equipment's operating status, improving operational convenience. The first conveyor belt 10 transports the filled cans from the quantitative filling machine 8 to the vacuum capping machine 11, facilitating material transfer from filling to capping and ensuring continuous operation of the production line.The load-bearing plates 22 on both sides of the first conveyor belt 10 provide the mounting base for the baffle 23, bearing the weight of the baffle 23 and the force generated by material collision, ensuring the stability of the baffle 23. The baffle 23 can be set along both sides of the first conveyor belt 10 to limit the lateral displacement or falling of the filled cans during the conveying process, ensuring that the cans accurately enter the vacuum capping machine 11. After capping, the steam sterilizer 12 can sterilize the sealed cans with high-temperature steam, thoroughly killing the microorganisms remaining in the material and container, ensuring that the product meets food safety standards and extending the shelf life. The counter-pressure water cooler 13 cools the high-temperature cans after sterilization. The counter-pressure water cooling method balances the pressure inside and outside the can, preventing the can from deforming or failing to seal due to sudden cooling, and at the same time quickly reducing the material temperature for subsequent processing. The second conveyor belt 14 transports the cooled cans from the counter-pressure water cooler 13 to the packaging machine 16, passing through a blower drying process in between, realizing the material transfer from cooling to final packaging.
[0017] Please see Figure 6 and Figure 8 The second conveyor belt 14 is provided with blower evaporation drying mechanism 15 on both sides. The blower evaporation drying mechanism 15 includes a transmission pipe 1501. One side of the transmission pipe 1501 is connected to one side of the limiting plate 17 by bolts. Multiple aeration nozzles 1502 are arranged at intervals along the length direction on the side of the transmission pipe 1501 near the limiting plate 17. The air outlet of the multiple aeration nozzles 1502 all pass through one side of the second conveyor belt 14 and face the conveying path, and are used to spray airflow onto the conveyed material to achieve evaporation and drying. One end of the transmission pipe 1501 is detachably connected to a hose 1503 for transmitting air source. The other end of the second conveyor belt 14 is provided with a packaging machine 16, and a limiting plate 17 for material positioning is fixedly connected on the conveying path of the second conveyor belt 14. Through the above technical solution, the limiting plate 17 fixed at the upper end of the second conveyor belt 14 is set along the conveying direction of the second conveyor belt 14 to guide and position the can, ensuring that the can remains neatly arranged during the conveying process, accurately passes through the blower evaporation drying mechanism 15, and smoothly enters the packaging machine 16. The blower evaporation drying mechanism 15 can dry the residual moisture on the surface of the can after cooling, avoiding the moisture from affecting the sealing of subsequent packaging, ensuring the product appearance and packaging quality. The transmission pipe 1501 can deliver high-pressure airflow to provide a gas source channel for the atomizing nozzle 1502. The atomizing nozzle 1502 disperses the airflow in the transmission pipe 1501 into a uniform airflow and sprays it directionally onto the surface of the can to accelerate the evaporation of moisture. The hose 1503 connects the external gas source equipment to the transmission pipe 1501, flexibly conveying gas to adapt to the equipment layout requirements.
[0018] Example 2: Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3Based on Embodiment 1, this utility model provides a technical solution in which multiple water supply pipes 18 are spaced apart along the length of the upper end of the water circulation thawing machine 1. Each of the multiple water supply pipes 18 has a spray head 19 along its own length at the lower end. The water outlet direction of the spray head 19 is directed toward the internal cavity of the water circulation thawing machine 1 to achieve uniform spraying and thawing of the material inside the cavity. A water pump 20 is detachably connected to one side of the water circulation thawing machine 1. The output end of the water pump 20 is threadedly connected to a water inlet pipe 21. The output end of the water pump 20 is detachably connected to one end of the water supply pipe 18. Through the above technical solution, the water supply pipe 18 at the upper end of the water circulation thawing machine 1 is connected to the water source and delivers water to the spray head 19, providing a channel for spray water for the water circulation thawing machine 1. The spray head 19 converts the water in the water supply pipe 18 into a uniform spray water flow and sprays it directionally onto the surface of the raw materials inside the water circulation thawing machine 1 to achieve all-round and uniform thawing. The water pump 20 provides power to the water circulation thawing machine 1 and pumps water from the water source into the water supply pipe 18 to ensure the pressure and flow rate of the spray water and maintain the thawing efficiency. The water inlet pipe 21 connects the water pump 20 and the water supply pipe 18 and delivers the water pumped by the water pump 20 to the water supply pipe 18.
[0019] All electrical components mentioned in this article are connected to an external main controller and 220V AC mains power via standard interfaces. The main controller can be any commercially available known device. There are no special restrictions on the specific models of the electrical components; any commercially available ordinary products can be selected, as long as they meet the usage requirements of this utility model.
[0020] In this invention, the working steps of the device are as follows: First, the water circulation thawing machine 1 and its matching water pump 20 are started. The water pump 20 delivers water to the water supply pipe 18 through the water inlet pipe 21. The water is then converted into a uniform spray flow by the spray nozzle 19 at the lower end of the water supply pipe 18, and sprayed directionally onto the surface of the frozen meat raw materials inside the water circulation thawing machine 1 to achieve uniform thawing at low temperature. After thawing, the raw materials are automatically conveyed to the meat coarse chopper 2 by the conveyor belt 4. The meat coarse chopper 2 is started and cuts the thawed whole piece of meat into small pieces or granules. The coarsely chopped material falls to the first spiral elevator 5 below, where it is lifted upward by the rotating spiral blades and discharged through the discharge pipe. 29 is precisely conveyed to the steam cooking tower 3, where high-temperature steam is introduced to heat and cook the material, killing some microorganisms and denaturing proteins. The cooked material falls into the second screw conveyor 6, which lifts it and conveys it through the discharge pipe 29 to the vacuum chopper 7. The vacuum chopper 7 starts in a vacuum environment, chopping the cooked material into a uniform mince. Auxiliary materials can be added and mixed at the same time. After chopping is completed, the twin screw pump 30 starts, extracting the mince from the output end of the vacuum chopper 7. The mince is then stably conveyed to the quantitative filling machine 8 through the meshing rotation of the twin screws. The empty packaging can is then cleaned by the can cleaning machine 9. After cleaning and disinfection, the empty cans are transported to the quantitative filling machine 8. The operator sets the filling parameters via the controller 25 of the quantitative filling machine 8. The minced meat is then fed into the quantitative filling machine 8 via a twin-screw pump 30 and precisely filled into the empty cans according to the preset weight. The filling process can be monitored in real-time via a viewing window 24 to prevent problems such as missed filling or blockages. The filled cans are then transported to the vacuum capping machine 11 via the first conveyor belt 10. The baffles 23 on both sides of the conveyor belt limit the can's deviation, ensuring precise entry into the vacuum capping machine 11. The vacuum capping machine 11 performs a vacuum seal on the cans, and the sealed cans are then transported to the steam... The sterilizer 12 thoroughly sterilizes the cans with high-temperature steam. The sterilized high-temperature cans then enter the counter-pressure water cooler 13, where they are rapidly cooled under counter-pressure to prevent deformation. The cooled cans are then conveyed by the second conveyor belt 14, with the limiting plate 17 on the conveying path guiding and positioning the cans. At the same time, the blower evaporation drying mechanism 15 is activated, and an external air source delivers high-pressure airflow to the transmission pipe 1501 through the hose 1503. The airflow is then directionally sprayed onto the surface of the cans through the vaporization nozzle 1502 to dry any residual moisture. The dried cans are then conveyed by the second conveyor belt 14 to the packaging machine 16 to complete the final packaging and form the finished product.
[0021] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
