HPP PET FOOD SOLUTIONS

As pet owners have looked for healthier pet food alternatives, raw or minimally processed pet food has become popular due to its health benefits. Hiperbaric’s high-pressure processing (HPP) equipment ensures food safety in the production of raw (non-thermally processed) pet food, keeping organoleptic and nutritional properties intact without preservatives. Due to HPP, the variety of raw pet food products continues to grow, offering pets a healthy and safe diet. In addition to food safety, HPP benefits include cross-contamination prevention, premium quality, clean label, health attributes, and packaging variety.

MEAT PROCESSING FOR PET FOOD

When creating solutions for highly viscous pet food ingredient processing, the internal scraper configuration of the HRS R Series may be adapted to achieve improved thermal performance, while a heavy-duty gearbox is usually specified to withstand the higher torques required to keep the product moving through the heat exchanger. The HRS R Series of scraped surface heat exchangers use a patented rotary scraper bar which can reach speeds up to 300 RPM, providing high levels of shear and mixing at the heat transfer surface which dramatically increases heat transfer rates. This makes it particularly suitable for challenging heat transfer applications, such as those where the product requires high pressures or has high viscosity.
