Dry, wet, freeze-dried – there is a wide variety of pet food, and as many ways to make it. When we started to research how to craft the best possible diet for our pets, we discovered Wenger Thermal Twin Screw Extruder technology. This revolutionary technology is a breakthrough in pet food production, and the fact that there were only few manufactures using this technology ensured us to invest all our resources in order to take advantage of this technology ourselves.
So, what makes Wenger Thermal Twin Screw Extruder technology so special that we became one of only five companies in the world that uses it?
Nutritionally, the advantages are clear.
The Thermal Twin Screw process results in less protein degradation during processing, ensuring higher quality protein for pets.Freshly frozen raw animal proteins can be quickly incorporated into the system, reducing the risk of certain compounds developing that could negatively affect the taste and quality of the finished product. This process also enhances protein digestibility, this ensures that there is a high uptake of all the essential nutrients. Additionally, the Thermal Twin Screw approach preserves vitamins and minerals better as compared to more traditional technology.
From a manufacturing perspective, kibbles produced using the Thermal Twin Screw process boast a smooth, homogeneous appearance, superior to those made with standard extrusion. This technology relies on thermal steam cooking, which is more natural compared to the mechanical shearing used in conventional methods.
Environmentally, the Thermal Twin Screw process supports sustainability. By using local ingredients, it reduces transportation needs, thereby minimizing the carbon footprint. Freshly frozen raw proteins, vegetables, and fruits are used in their natural form, avoiding the extensive drying and rehydrating processes common in the industry. This not only ensures the cleanliness and quality of raw materials but also aligns with eco-friendly practices.
Utilizing higher levels of thermal steam energy, this innovative approach offers unparalleled operational flexibility, cost savings, and nutritional benefits.
In summary, Wenger’s Thermal Twin Screw technology sets a new standard in the pet food industry. It produces high-quality, nutritious pet food with a focus on preserving all ingredients’ natural composition, alongside supporting Kraftia’s environmental responsibility. Combined with Kraftia’s high quality packaging and its focus on the food’s freshness, this technology ensures that your loyal companions receive the best nutrition while supporting sustainable production practices.
