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.
