Measurement Solutions for Grinding, Mixing, and Cooking Processes in Pet Food Production
Maximize production capacity during initial pet food manufacturing processes.
Ensure food safety and accurate dosing of ingredients
Whether you are manufacturing wet or dry pet food, both begin with initial grinding, mixing, and pre-cooking processes. First the raw ingredients, such as meat and meat byproducts, are grinded through a series of screws to help break down the meat chunks into the desired size for cooking. Next the product goes through some initial mixers and then is carefully measured into the correct portions to the cooker. The product is then heated to high temperatures to ensure food safety and oftentimes choline chloride is injected into the meat during pre-cooking for its metabolism and cellular growth benefits.
Advanced measurements solutions can be used throughout the grinding, mixing, and pre-cooking processes to ensure accurate dosing and measurement of costly ingredients.

The Rosemount 3408 Non-Contacting Radar Level Transmitter is a versatile FMCW radar suitable for level measurement and overfill prevention in many industries, including chemical. Smart features save time and maximize efficiency for trouble-free operations, simplifying commissioning, operation and testing. Smart diagnostics help you proactively plan maintenance and optional Bluetooth® connectivity allows convenient configuration and maintenance. Manual or automatic verification at scheduled intervals can be conducted from the control room at any time without process interruptions. Perform proof-testing remotely and in-situ with onboard functionality. NAMUR type tested and third party certified to IEC61508 for use in safety critical applications.
- With Smart Echo Supervision™ technology, Rosemount Non-Contacting Radars automatically track all echoes, including those from obstructions in the vessel, and distinguish them from the real product surface echo. This ensures the true product level is reliably and accurately reported.
- Lens antenna available for very small process fittings (3/4") and with optional bracket mount
- All PTFE wetted parts allow for use in harsh conditions, such as corrosive medias
