PerMix Applications
Pet food manufacturing has evolved into a high-precision science where consistency, nutrition, and food safety define brand success. From kibble and treats to plant-based meats and pâté, every formulation requires controlled mixing, hydration, and coating. That’s where PerMix delivers an edge — designing sanitary, high-efficiency mixing systems that ensure perfect texture and nutrition in every batch.
Pet food formulations span a wide moisture range — from 5 % dry kibble to 75 % moist pâté or meat analogues. Each demands specific shear, dwell time, and heat control. Over-mixing destroys structure; under-mixing creates uneven texture and nutritional hot spots.
Pet foods blend meats, plant proteins, vitamins, and minerals with very different densities and flow properties. Achieving a uniform blend without segregation requires mixers that maintain precise shear control and batch consistency.
Flavour, palatability, and aroma come from post-extrusion fat and oil coating. Too little coating reduces flavor; too much causes rancidity and short shelf life. Controlled spraying and even distribution are critical.
Multiple SKUs — including grain-free or allergen-free formulas — share the same plant. Equipment must allow fast washdown or full Clean-in-Place (CIP) to prevent cross-contamination and microbial growth.
Manufacturers want seamless systems — loading, mixing, drying, coating, and packaging — all automated for speed, consistency, and traceability.
PerMix PFB Twin-Shaft Paddle Mixers create a “zero-gravity” fluidized zone that blends meats, slurries, binders, and flavor additives in seconds.
Advantages
For dry powders, vitamins, and premix bases, the PerMix Horizontal Ribbon Mixer ensures precise, repeatable results at high throughput.
Key Features
PerMix Plow Mixers (PTS) are ideal for fast, uniform mixing of powders, seasonings, and partially hydrated materials — including plant-based proteins and fibers.
Why They Excel
When your mix behaves like a paste or dough, the PerMix Sigma Mixer (PSG) is unmatched.
Advantages
For semi-moist pet foods or meat slurries requiring dehydration, PerMix Vacuum Paddle Mixers/Dryers combine drying, cooling, and mixing in one unit.
Benefits
PerMix Inline Emulsifiers create fine, stable emulsions for gravy, sauce, and pâté systems.
Features
PerMix coating technology ensures consistent flavor and nutrition on every kibble:
PerMix designs all mixers for EHEDG, CE, and UKCA compliance. Surfaces are fully polished, crevice-free, and available with:
Q: Which mixer is best for high-moisture pet food?
A: The Twin-Shaft Paddle Mixer ensures even blending of meats and slurries without damaging proteins or emulsions.
Q: How can I hydrate plant proteins without clumping?
A: The Plow Mixer with liquid lances and choppers disperses water or oil evenly for lump-free hydration of pea, soy, or potato proteins.
Q: When should I use a Sigma Mixer?
A: Choose Sigma (Z-Blade) when the material becomes a viscous dough — such as pâté, loaf, or plant-based meat analogues — and needs structure development.
Q: Are PerMix mixers easy to clean between recipes?
A: Yes. Sanitary design, smooth welds, quick-access covers, and CIP options make cleaning fast and verifiable.
Q: Do you provide full systems?
A: PerMix and partner brand Fuxion MME supply complete turnkey systems for ingredient handling, dosing, coating, and packaging.
In pet food manufacturing, texture, nutrition, and flavor start in the mixer. PerMix combines decades of process expertise with sanitary engineering to help manufacturers deliver consistent quality—batch after batch, recipe after recipe. Whether you’re producing dry kibble, gourmet wet food, or plant-based treats, PerMix designs equipment that keeps pets healthy and your production line efficient.
