OUR FACILITY & TECHNOLOGY
- Our facility, which has a production capacity of 5 tons per hour, is equipped with technological production equipment supplied from the leading brands of the sector. Our facility, which is designed to operate 24/7 with maximum automation thanks to advanced process technology, has full automation to reduce human errors and health-related concerns in production.
- Raw materials are discharged into the raw material reception pool by calculating their usage amounts according to the prepared production calendar, and are passed through sieves, filters and cleaners respectively and transferred to the product silos.
- Petfood rations are taken from silos as a one-ton batch according to the mixture percentages loaded into the computer control system and drawn from vertical mixers.
- The one-ton load mixed in the vertical mixer is sent to the grinder. The specific petfood ration, which turns into a semi-finished product in the grinder, is sieved and particle sizes are standardized. And then it is taken into the horizontal mixer.
- Vitamins and minerals such as taurine, which are necessary additives for our pet friends, are added to the horizontal mixer in the determined proportions in the automatic pre-mixing system and mixed for certain periods of time for a homogeneous mixture.
- The prepared semi-finished product mixture is taken from the horizontal mixer to the pre-conditioner, where it is turned into dough by the addition of steam, water and oil, and then passed through the baking unit.
- The dough passes through the extrusion machine (Wenger – USA). Cooking takes place through mechanical compression while continuing with the addition of water and steam. Finally the petfood is shaped with molds and knife.
- The cooked and shaped product passes through the dryer to reduce moisture levels and is then subjected to surface lubrication as it passes through the vacuum lubrication line. After the lubrication process, flavorings in powder and liquid form are added by spraying.
- After the final product passes through the cooler and set aside to reach ambient temperature, it is screened once again and transported to the final product warehouses via closed system elevators with magnets and sieve units.
- After the final product warehouses, it is sieved once again and transported to the Automatic Packaging machine through closed system elevators with magnetic and sieve units. In the packaging unit, it is filled into packages of desired sizes, the air inside the package is vacuumed and sealed with the heat sealing technique. Traceability is ensured by assigning a batch number to the final product produced. The product is taken to the finished product warehouse ready for shipment.
