One of Wenger's innovative FLEX™ series extrusion systems 

An excellent choice for high volume production of limited ingredients pet food diets - to complex fresh meat diets - and everything in-between.

• Two available models:  PFX-3000, PFX-600
• Produces standard kibble, premium and high fresh meat kibble, and treats
• Target output up to 11,000 kg/hr  (PFX-3000)
• High thermal energy design, flexible for medium- and high-sheer applications
• Pre-conditioner steam levels (using the Wenger HIP) can be up to 12%.
• Unique twin screw profile allows for optimized steam injection in barrel
• Excellent durability - the unique metallurgy along with specially designed rotating elements and barrel results in improved wear life and unmatched system uptime

The PetFLEX design enables production of a wide range of products from the same screw set-up, improving uptime and efficiency

This new extrusion technology use a unique screw configuration to create processing zones that optimize thermal and mechanical shear inputs.  This results in stable, uniform production of a wide variety of products, without “surging” that often happens with single screw designs.
