Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of pet food processing equipment, and more specifically, it relates to a discharge unit on a novel pet food extruder. Background Technology

[0002] Pet food equipment is a series of specialized machinery used for processing and producing pet food, including crushers, mixers, extruders, air cooling machines, hot air dryers, mixing machines, ovens, extruders, oil sprayers, seasoning lines, etc. A series of equipment is required in the production and processing of dog food. After a large batch of dog food is produced, a portion of it needs to be extruded through extrusion equipment.

[0003] For example, the patent announcement number CNU discloses a new type of extruder for pet food production, which includes a sleeve block, a base plate, a machine box, an extrusion cavity, a sealing plate, and a template. A support base is welded to the lower surface of the base plate, and an extrusion cavity is installed on the upper surface of the base plate by bolts. An auger is rotatably installed inside the extrusion cavity. The inner diameter of the extrusion cavity and the diameter of the auger are both decreasing. A driven shaft is provided on the auger. The sleeve block is movably sleeved on the extrusion cavity and fixed to the extrusion cavity by bolts. The template is welded to the end of the extrusion cavity, and the auger is rotatably connected to the template. The template is located inside the sleeve block and has an extrusion hole. A discharge port is provided on the sleeve block.

[0004] In the above process, the puffed material is extruded from the extrusion holes on the template. The extrusion holes in the template are fixed structures, which can only extrude materials of the same shape and size. In actual production, different breeds and age groups of pets have different preferences for the shape and size of food. For example, puppies may be more suitable for smaller, easier-to-chew food, while adult dogs may prefer larger, chewier food. This makes it impossible to meet diverse production needs by adjusting the shape and aperture of the template, which limits the flexibility and diversity of pet food production. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a new type of discharge unit for a pet food extruder that improves the diversity and flexibility of pet food production.
