This is a project about a pet food dryer in Russia. A medium-sized pet feed factory located near Saint Petersburg recently purchased a RICHI pet food dryer in Russia to enhance their drying process.
This is a project about a pet food dryer in Russia. In Russia, the pet food industry has been expanding rapidly, driven by increasing pet ownership and a growing demand for premium pet nutrition. Many domestic feed mills and farms are upgrading their production processes to ensure high-quality kibble and extruded pet food products.
A medium-sized pet feed factory located near Saint Petersburg recently purchased a RICHI pet food dryer in Russia to enhance their drying process. Previously, the factory used a small, traditional batch dryer that caused uneven moisture content in kibbles and occasional breakage, which impacted product consistency and shelf life.
The client opted for a standalone belt dryer rather than purchasing a full production line. The pet food dryer in Russia was meant to upgrade their existing drying capacity, complementing their current pellet mill and mixer. By choosing a single machine, the client aimed to improve efficiency without the need for a full-scale line renovation.
Name:
pet food dryer
Country:
Russia
Date:
2025
Capacity:
5–7 tons per day
Model:
DHG-1000
Mesh Belt Layers:
5
Belt Width:
1.2 m
Drying Area:
43 m²
The customer is a medium-sized pet feed manufacturer, producing approximately 5–7 tons of pet food per day, including dry dog and cat kibbles. Their main goal in purchasing a standalone belt dryer was to:
This investment ensures consistent product quality and helps the factory meet the increasing demand for premium pet food across Russia.
In Russia, pet feed production typically includes:
The feed enters the pet food dryer in Russia at a moisture content of 18–20% and needs to be dried to 10–12% for safe storage and high-quality kibble. Maintaining consistent moisture is essential, as uneven drying can cause kibble to crumble or lose shape, affecting the product’s market appeal.
Based on the production capacity and feed types, the client selected the DHG-1000 electric pet food dryer. This model provides a larger drying area, which is ideal for medium-scale factories producing both dog and cat kibbles.
| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Heating Method | Electric heating |
| Power | 70 + 2.2*3 + 1.5 kW |
| Mesh Belt Layers | 5 |
| Belt Width | 1.2 m |
| Drying Area | 43 m² |
The multi-layer mesh belt ensures even heat distribution and uniform drying. Electric heating allows precise temperature control, which is crucial for kibbles containing high-protein meat meals and fats sensitive to overheating.
The pet food drying machine was shipped via sea freight to the Port of Saint Petersburg, which is the most convenient port for delivering equipment to factories in the northwestern region of Russia. RICHI Machinery ensured secure packaging and proper documentation for smooth customs clearance.
RICHI’s installation team provided complete support, including:
The DHG-1000 pet food dryer in Russia was fully operational within five days, enabling the factory to resume full-scale production quickly.
Since commissioning, the belt dryer has delivered significant advantages:
The factory reported a noticeable improvement in kibble shape and hardness, crucial for high-end pet food that meets both domestic and international standards.
The client shared their experience:
"The DHG-1000 pet food dryer exceeded our expectations. Kibble dries evenly, breakage is minimal, and our production process is now much more efficient. RICHI’s technical support and training were excellent. We would recommend their equipment to anyone in the pet feed industry."
Encouraged by the successful performance of the DHG-1000, the factory plans to:
