Process top quality pet food and treats with twin screw extrusion

Clextral twin-screw extrusion systems make high quality, nutritious foods and creative treats that appeal to pets and their pet parents. We help processors anticipate and adapt to market trends and ensure brand loyalty with systems that deliver top flexibility and intuitive control.

Processing parameters are quickly and precisely adjusted within the extruder platform to process a range of ingredients to achieve desired product attributes including hardness or crispness, cell structure, chewiness, color (including multi-color processing), size, shape, and flavor. Recipes can be customized for breed, size, gender, age, energy needs and health requirements.

Functional extruded treats that benefit pet health are processed with Clextral’s extruders: for teeth cleaning, fighting bad breath and delivering vitamins and medications for veterinary care. Clextral’s extrusion systems offer the flexibility and precise control to successfully integrate nutritional supplements with pharmacological value, texturing agents, and flavor enhancers.
