The market demand for pet food is growing, and more and more people are starting to pay attention to the healthy diet of pets. Freeze-dried pet food is a high-quality, nutritious, and very convenient natural pet food for storage and carrying, which is loved by many pet owners.

How a freeze dryer for pet food works. The pet food freeze dryer freezes the pet food in a low temperature environment and sublimates the solid water from the food in a vacuum environment to sublimate and remove it in a gaseous manner, so that the pet food retains its original nutrients and taste. This freeze-drying process can effectively extend the shelf life of pet food and does not require the addition of any preservatives.

Freeze-dried production process for diced chicken breast pet food.

First, the fresh chicken breasts will be cut into uniform cubes. The use of professional meat cutting equipment can ensure that the meat is cut into diced meat with uniform and regular shapes, such as the horizontal fresh meat dicing line.

These diced chicken breasts will then be placed on a tray in the pet food freeze dryer. In this process, the pallet will be fed into the silo of the freeze dryer for cryogenic freezing, and the temperature will be reduced to about minus 40 degrees Celsius. At low temperatures, diced chicken breasts will be quickly frozen into solids.  

After the diced chicken breast is frozen to meet the requirements, the warehouse of the pet food freeze-dryer begins to form a high vacuum environment, and the moisture in the frozen solid diced chicken breast is converted into gas and discharged through circulating temperature control. The whole process takes about 12~18 hours to ensure that the moisture in the diced chicken breast is completely sublimated and dry. Once the drying sublimation process is complete, the freeze dryer will automatically stop working and the diced chicken breasts will be removed.

The freeze-dried diced chicken breasts will be packed and sealed to keep them fresh and dry. Such packaging not only protects the food from external contamination, but also extends its shelf life. When using, you can choose the appropriate packaging size according to your needs to meet the edible needs of your pet.

During the freeze-drying process of chicken breast meat and pet food, most of the moisture is removed and the nutrients are retained. Compared with other processing methods, freeze-dried pet food can retain the nutrients in the ingredients, and freeze-dried pet food can extend the shelf life and reduce the risk of food spoilage because the water is completely evaporated, which is not easy to breed bacteria. Freeze-dried pet food is small in size, lightweight, easy to carry, and does not require refrigeration for easy storage. During the production process of freeze-dried pet food, after the water is evaporated, the texture of the food will become more crisp, increasing the appeal of the taste.
