Pets, like humans, need a complete set of nutrients for long and healthy life. One of the benefits of dry food for animals is high concentration of energy and the nutrients that are available to the animal in small volumes. Due to the small gastrointestinal tract and high nutritional needs, this feature is especially useful during growth.
Pet food is a huge and constantly evolving market. Increasing attention to pet health has created new standards and increased demand in the pet food industry. In addition, pet owners expect food to be available in a variety of shapes, colors and flavors.
The raw materials that needed to produce pet food include: vitamins and minerals, dyes, corn, wheat, soy, fish meal, meat powder, etc., all of which can be supplied domestically. Demand for quality feed, attractive visual appearance as well as suitable nutritional benefits, requires modern equipment.
The production line machines have European, Chinese and Iranian types. Garma Electric, as the main manufacturer and importer of animal feed machines, in the field of pet food technologies, has considered different solutions according to the demands, budget and time of customers. Among these, we can name the complete lines, main machines, spare parts including European, Chinese, Iranian and their combination.
