How ContiCooker turns offal into structured meat for high-quality feed

ContiCooker from scansteel foodtech is an innovative continuous animal feed preparation system, which ensures efficient processing of various raw materials, including meat by-products. This system allows you to convert unstructured ingredients, such as by-products, into structured meat, which is ideal for the production of wet feed and premium pet food.

Uniqueness and capabilities:

• Processing different types of raw materials: ContiCooker efficiently works with both meat by-products and other ingredients, converting them into structured meat. This ensures that the products achieve the desired consistency, texture, and uniformity required for the production of high-quality pet food.

• Texture Control: Cooking on the ContiCooker allows for the creation of a uniform product structure, which is essential for feeds with high demands for density and texture (especially in the premium segment).
• Preservation of Nutritional Properties: The technology ensures the preservation of nutrients in raw materials, such as proteins, vitamins, and minerals, which is critically important for the production of feeds rich in nutritional components.

ContiCooker allows transforming even unstructured raw materials into high-quality structured meat, which is crucial for improving the taste and texture characteristics of feeds, especially in the premium segment for animals.

Key advantages of the ContiCooker:

• Continuous heat treatment of the feed: The equipment provides cooking, pasteurisation, sterilisation, caramelisation and other processes in a single stream.
• Maximum hygiene: All parts of the ContiCooker comply with food safety standards and are easy to clean, which is critical for feed production.
• Precise recipe management: The automated control of temperature, pressure, humidity and time allows the process to be adapted to specific ingredients and feed formulas.
• Improving the quality of finished feed: Mild processing preserves texture, smell and taste, which is important for product appeal.

Scope of application:

• Production of dog and cat food

• Processing of raw meat and by-products

• Preparation of protein and vitamin mixtures for pet food

• Heat treatment of feed with a high moisture content

The ContiCooker is a robust animal feed production system that combines hygiene, efficiency and flexibility in the production process. Contact us for technical advice or to learn more about system configurations.
