The role of preconditioning in 
wet puffed equipment
   Wet puffed devices are more 
and more being applied and chosen, mainly because there is a very 
critical part in the wet puffing equipment - preconditioning technology.
 In dog food process, preconditioning technology has a very important 
significance. It can improve the ability of extruder to make 
granulating.By preconditioning, the steam damp and hot raw material in 
advance to make it softening and more conducive to form, while reducing 
the raw material of mechanical wear and tear.  Also it can improve the 
bulk density, decrease the rate of duct, reduce process loss and 
maintain the environment in the process.
 
   At the same time, promote the starch gelatinization and protein 
denaturation, raise the pet digestion and absorption for dog food 
digestion and absorption. According to data shows, the raw material 
after steam preconditioning, starch gelatinization ratio can reach 35% ~
 45% and with no steam preconditioning gelatinization ratio is only 15%.
 Also it can completely destroy harmful germs further, in the process of
 preconditioning, high temperature steam can kill most of e. coli and 
salmonella,  improving the dog food safety and hygiene standards 
greatly.
 
   Though preconditioning, it can be convenient to add liquid nutritious
 material, increased the nutritional of dog food. After curing process 
in advance, it can greatly improve the production.So, the 
preconditioning can improve dog food nutritious and save energy. At  the
 same time, the wet puffing machine has good effect in granulating and 
stable.
