2.1 Characteristics of Pet Food Raw Materials and Requirements for Extrusion Equipment
The raw materials of pet food are mainly meat products (such as meat meal, 魚粉, fresh meat), 穀物, 大豆粕, ビタミン, ミネラルおよびその他の添加物. その中で, meat products account for a large proportion, making the product have strong viscosity. This characteristic puts forward special requirements for extrusion equipment:
Single-screw extruders are not suitable for the economic production of pet food. Because the single-screw extruder has a narrow shear range, poor pumping capacity and no self-cleaning effect. When processing viscous materials such as meat products, it is easy to cause material accumulation, blockage and uneven mixing in the extruder barrel, which not only affects production efficiency, but also leads to unstable product quality. 加えて, 単軸押出機は、高脂肪および高タンパク質の原料を処理する際にエネルギー消費が高くなります。, それは企業の生産コストを増加させます.
二軸押出機, 一方で, ペットフードの生産において明らかな利点がある. より広いせん断範囲を持っています, より効果的なポンピング効果とセルフクリーニング効果, 材料の粘度や蓄積の問題を効果的に解決できます。. 二軸押出機により均一な混合を実現, 材料の混練と押出, 脂肪分や新鮮な肉を多く含む原材料を加工する場合でも, また、安定した生産と一貫した製品品質を確保できます。. したがって, 実際のペットフードの生産において, 二軸押出機はペットフードの膨化の主な手段となっています, ドライパフ製品の製造に広く使用されています。, セミウェット製品, 柔らかいパフ製品とペット用スナック.
2.2 スクリュー押出パフィングの動作原理
ペットフードのスクリュー押出パフィングプロセスは複雑な物理的および化学的プロセスです, 温度などの複数の要因の相互作用が関係する, プレッシャー, せん断力と時間. 具体的な動作原理は次のとおりです:
初め, 原料の前処理. 一定量のデンプンを含む粉末状の原料 (より多い 20%) 配合に従って均一に混合されます, 焼戻し装置に送られて焼戻し処理が行われます。. 焼き戻しの目的は、材料の水分含有量と温度を調整することです。, 押出機に入る前に材料が理想的な状態に達するようにする. 一般的に, 焼戻し後の材料の含水率は10%～27%に管理, 70～98℃まで温度を上げます. During the tempering process, the materials absorb water evenly, which is conducive to the subsequent gelatinization of starch and denaturation of protein, and can also reduce the wear of the extruder screw and barrel.
2番, extrusion and heating. The tempered materials enter the screw extrusion cavity through the feeding device. The screw extrusion cavity is composed of a screw and a barrel, and the volume of the extrusion cavity gradually decreases along the axis direction. When the screw rotates, it pushes the materials forward continuously, and the materials are gradually compressed under the action of the screw and the barrel, and the pressure in the extrusion cavity gradually increases. The compression ratio (the ratio of the volume of the material at the feeding end to the volume at the extrusion end) 4～10まで可能, ペットフードの種類や原材料の配合によって異なります。.
スクリューに押されて押し出される過程, 材料には強いせん断力や摩擦力がかかります. せん断力はスクリューとバレル間の相対運動によって発生します。, スクリューフライト間と同様に. 材料の粒子を破壊する可能性があります, 原料と添加物をより均一に混合します, でんぷんの糊化とタンパク質の変性を促進します。. 材質とバレル内壁との間に摩擦力が発生します。, 物質粒子間だけでなく, 多量の熱を発生させる可能性がある, 材料の加熱に役立ちます. 加えて, 加工ニーズに応じて, steam can flow through the barrel jacket to heat the materials between the walls, so that the materials in the extrusion cavity are in a high-temperature and high-pressure state. The temperature in the extrusion cavity is generally controlled at 120～180℃, and the pressure is controlled at 2～10MPa.
三番目, starch gelatinization and protein denaturation. Under the action of high temperature, high pressure and shear force, the starch in the materials absorbs water and expands, the crystal structure is destroyed, and it is converted into an amorphous state, which is called starch gelatinization. Starch gelatinization can improve the digestibility of pet food, because the gelatinized starch is easier to be decomposed by the digestive enzymes of pets. 同時に, the gelatinized starch can also improve the viscosity and binding force of the materials, making the extruded products have good shape and texture.
In addition to starch gelatinization, the protein in the materials will also undergo denaturation under the action of high temperature and high pressure. Protein denaturation refers to the change of the spatial structure of protein molecules without changing the primary structure, which can improve the solubility and digestibility of protein, and make the pet food have better palatability. 同時に, the denatured protein can also form a network structure, which can wrap the starch and other components, helping to maintain the shape of the puffed product.
4番目, puffing and shaping. 高温高圧状態の材料がスクリューによってダイヘッドに押し付けられ、ダイ穴から高速で押し出される場合, 材料が押出キャビティから突然出て通常の大気環境に入るために、材料の温度と圧力が急激に低下します。. 圧力差と温度差の複合作用により, 材料中の水分は急速に蒸発します, 物質の体積が急速に膨張する (膨張率は2～8倍に達します), 材料は急速に脱水および固化し、多孔質を形成します。, パリパリまたはソフトなパフ製品.
ダイ穴から押し出した後, 膨化した材料は切断装置によって均一な長さの短い粒子に切断されます。 (回転ナイフ) ダイヘッドに設置. 回転ナイフの速度を変えることで粒子の長さを調整し、さまざまな種類のペットフードの要件を満たすことができます。. 例えば, 子犬の餌の粒子が小さくて短い, 一方、成犬用のドッグフードの粒子は大きくて長いです。.
5番目, 後処理. 押し出された膨化粒子は、乾燥などの後処理リンクを通過する必要があります。, 冷却, 最終的なペットフード製品となる調味料と包装. 乾燥とは粒子の水分を基準範囲まで減らすことです (10%-12% 乾燥製品用), 製品の保存寿命を延ばすために. 冷却とは、乾燥粒子の温度を室温まで下げることです。, 製品の固結や劣化を防ぎます. 味付けは香料をスプレーすること, attractants and other additives on the surface of the particles to improve the palatability of the product. Packaging is to pack the seasoned particles into bags or cans to ensure the hygiene and safety of the product and facilitate storage and transportation.
2.3 Key Factors Affecting Screw Extrusion Puffing Effect
The effect of screw extrusion puffing directly affects the quality of pet food. There are many factors affecting the puffing effect, mainly including raw material characteristics, tempering parameters, extrusion parameters and die head structure. Mastering these key factors and making scientific adjustments can ensure the stability of the puffing effect and the consistency of product quality.
2.3.1 Raw Material Characteristics:
The type, particle size, moisture content and nutritional composition of raw materials have a great impact on the puffing effect. 例えば, the starch content of raw materials directly affects the expansion rate of the product. The higher the starch content (within a certain range), the better the puffing effect, and the larger the expansion rate of the product. The particle size of raw materials should be uniform, generally 80-100 メッシュ. If the particle size is too large, the materials are not easy to be mixed uniformly and plasticized fully, which affects the puffing effect; if the particle size is too small, it is easy to cause material blockage and increase energy consumption. The moisture content of raw materials before tempering should be controlled at 8%-12%. If the moisture content is too high, the materials are easy to stick to the screw and barrel, affecting the extrusion and puffing; if the moisture content is too low, the shear force and friction force between the materials are insufficient, and the starch gelatinization is incomplete, resulting in poor puffing effect.
2.3.2 Tempering Parameters:
Tempering parameters mainly include tempering temperature, tempering time and moisture content after tempering. The tempering temperature is generally 70～98℃. If the tempering temperature is too low, the materials cannot absorb water evenly, and the starch gelatinization is insufficient; if the tempering temperature is too high, the materials may be caked in advance, affecting the subsequent extrusion. The tempering time is generally 2-5 分, which should be adjusted according to the type of raw materials and the moisture content. The moisture content after tempering is 10%～27%, which varies according to the type of pet food. 例えば, the moisture content of dry puffed products after tempering is generally 15%-20%, while that of semi-wet products is 22%-27%.
2.3.3 Extrusion Parameters:
Extrusion parameters are the most important factors affecting the puffing effect, mainly including screw speed, extrusion temperature and extrusion pressure. Screw speed generally ranges from 100 に 600 回転数. The higher the screw speed, the greater the shear force and friction force received by the materials, the higher the extrusion temperature and pressure, and the better the puffing effect. しかし, if the screw speed is too high, the residence time of the materials in the extrusion cavity is too short, resulting in incomplete starch gelatinization and uneven mixing; if the screw speed is too low, the shear force and friction force are insufficient, and the puffing effect is poor.
Extrusion temperature is generally controlled at 120～180℃, which is divided into three sections: feeding section, melting section and homogenizing section. The temperature of the feeding section is lower (70～90℃), which is mainly to prevent the materials from caking and ensure the smooth feeding; the temperature of the melting section is medium (120～150℃), which is mainly to promote the melting and plasticization of the materials; the temperature of the homogenizing section is higher (150～180℃), which is mainly to ensure the uniform mixing and full gelatinization of the materials.
Extrusion pressure is generally 2～10MPa. 押出キャビティ内の圧力は主にスクリューの圧縮率によって決まります。, ダイ穴サイズとスクリュー速度. 押出圧力が高いほど, the better the puffing effect, but if the pressure is too high, エネルギー消費と機器の磨耗が増加します; 圧力が低すぎる場合, the puffing effect is poor, and the product is loose and easy to break.
2.3.4 Die Head Structure:
The die head structure mainly includes the number, shape and size of die holes. The shape of the die hole determines the cross-sectional shape of the puffed product, such as circular, square, triangular and other shapes. The size of the die hole determines the initial diameter of the product. The smaller the die hole size, the greater the extrusion pressure, and the better the puffing effect, but the production capacity will be reduced. The number of die holes affects the production capacity. The more the number of die holes, 生産能力が高いほど, ただし、圧力分布が均一であることを確認する必要があります。, 製品の膨らみムラを防ぐため.
