PET FOODS
Pet food production involves cooking, mixing, emulsifying, and sterilizing diverse raw materials such as meat, cereals, and oils. These processes require precise temperature control, hygienic handling, and robust equipment to deal with high-viscosity, protein-rich mixtures and to ensure consistent quality and food safety across continuous, high-volume production lines.

The main challenges in this sector
The main challenges in this sector
High fouling risk from viscous, protein-heavy mixtures
Pet food formulas often involve dense meat slurries and emulsions that tend to clog conventional heat exchangers.
Thermal precision during cooking and sterilization
Accurate temperature control is critical to meet strict food safety standards without degrading nutritional value.
Strict hygiene standards for food-grade compliance
SKID CIP compatibility and material resistance to cleaning chemicals are essential. thermowave plate heat exchangers are built in stainless steel or duplex for long-term hygienic durability.
Energy recovery for sustainability and cost reduction
Thermal processes generate hot vapors and wastewater that can be reused. Our compact plate heat exchangers are ideal for recovering energy from hot condensates or cooling loops, reducing steam and utility consumption.
Our involvement in the sector
thermowave plate heat exchangers are used across the entire pet food process. From preheating raw slurries, cooking and sterilization, to cooling fat-based coatings or liquid ingredients. Designed for robustness, cleanability, and energy recovery, they help manufacturers ensure product safety, continuity, and sustainability.
Thermal efficiency and hygiene for demanding pet food processing
Efficient heating and cooling of thick and fatty fluids
Our heat exchangers ensure uniform temperature control even with dense, fatty, or protein-rich fluids, improving process stability and product consistency.
Compact and hygienic design
The compact plate configuration offers a large heat transfer surface in a small footprint, while materials like stainless steel ensure durability and food safety.
Food-grade materials and CIP compatibility
Our thermolinePURE heat exchangers are made from hygienic materials and are fully compatible with the CIP cleaning system, meeting the most stringent safety and hygiene standards.
