When it comes to producing raw petfood, the mixing process plays a crucial role in achieving the desired texture and uniformity. Petfood manufacturers understand the importance of using the right equipment and techniques to achieve optimal results. concept of “smart design” comes into play.
The paddle blade angles and configurations are specifically designed to maximize product displacement and movement within the mixing bowls. This means that every ingredient is effectively and efficiently mixed together, ensuring a homogenous blend. The design of the mixing bowls further enhances the mixing action, with contours that accentuate the movement of the ingredients.
The use of smart design in petfood mixing has several advantages. Firstly, it ensures that all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the mixture, preventing any clumping or separation. This is essential for providing consistent nutrition to pets and ensuring that they receive a balanced diet with every meal.
- Within the reciprocating mixing paddle cycle, product is free tumbled from top to bottom to top and from corner to corner within the bowl to deliver a very homogeneous mix within a short time period.
- Forward and reverse paddle action to avoid overmixing.
- For fresh meat and down to minus 4 degrees
- Safety features on the 4200 are plentiful since the machine was also developed with safety as a premium concern, conforming to the high demands of local and overseas regulations.
- The safety interlocked lid is a standard feature on all machines incorporated with a maximum stop time on the machine cycle, limiting any possibility of human interference with rotating parts.
- A safety interlocked discharge guard is also a standard feature.
- A feedscrew ejector can be built into the machine to reduce the risk in removing knives, plates and feedscrews. (The feedscrew ejector is a standard feature of the CE designed machines.)
- Standard height machines are designed for ergonomic low load heights.
- On the raised machines (built for 200L bin feed and discharge) the inspection step and optional platform are safety interlocked and offered with the lid or no lid option including the inspection mirror option.
- Operator control of the Thompson 4200 machines is very straightforward and user friendly.
- From the simple 3 push button machine as a standard – to optional degrees of control:
* Variable speed dial control /pProgrammable pre-select speed control / or full programmable logic control.
* Gemini Systems is the connection of two machines to incorporate a continuous system or process.
* Connecting a primary machine – grinder or mixer rrinder – for the primary hole plate grind, the ground product is then fed to the Secondary machine continuously for secondary processing.
* Product transfer is achieved by a safety interlocked Gemini transfer tube.
* Operating as a continuous grind operation – 1st grind to 2nd grind (even double cut on the secondary machine), it can also be used as a continuous sausage mix line – 1st grind to secondary mix and final grind process.
* The machines can also be as easily separated in the event that two separate processing applications may be required.
* The Thompson gemini system allows a 4200 machine to be connected in tandem with multiple machines including non Thompson machines.
* The Gemini system is an ideal solution for continuous grinding of one product at high volume production.
