Sterilization of pet food: Maschinenbau Scholz as an experienced partner

The pet food industry is a global market worth billions with high quality and hygiene standards. Sterilization is a crucial process in the production of cat and dog food. It ensures that the food is safe, long-lasting and free from harmful microorganisms. Efficient sterilization is particularly essential for wet food, which contains animal and vegetable ingredients. Maschinenbau Scholz from Germany can draw on many years of experience in this field.

Why is sterilization important?

Food with a pH value above 4.5 must be sterilised in order to preserve it for a long time. This also includes wet food for dogs and cats.

Without sterilization, Microorganisms could survive in the food and endanger animals and humans. At the same time, the quality, especially the nutritional value and flavour, must be preserved. To preserve this, the product must be sterilised as gently as possible.
