Keith Erdley (Wenger) discusses sustainability, waste management, energy efficiency and other important factors in pet food production, during FIGAP 2022 in Guadalajara, Mexico.
I consider it important to emphasize the auxiliary equipment necessary for process control to support the main equipment, and to maintain particle and final product specifications, I mean for example: 1.- to intercalate a sifter to classify the outgoing particles after grinding before mixing and to detect if any sieve has been broken. 2.- to intercalate magnets before milling and before the extruder. 3.- to intercalate a sifter or sieve before packaging. 4.- to intercalate magnets before packing 5.- to intercalate moisture meter at the exit of the dryer, and others that the participants may suggest.
Waste management is one of the most important topics to get a good performance in a petfood plant. By example how and what tod do with the moist wastes exitig after the extruder.
May be mr Keith Erdley can give us a referenced paper where can see more about this topic.
