Pet Food & Animal Feed Solutions
Safe dehydration for pet treats, feed processing & nutritional preservation.
ThermDry industrial dehydrators deliver precise, repeatable dehydration for pet food & animal feed operations. AI-powered multi-zone control, CFD-optimised airflow, and optional air frying capability — engineered for consistent product quality at industrial scale.
Pet Food & Animal Feed Applications
Select an application to see how our dehydrators address your specific pet food & animal feed drying needs.
Pet treat dehydration requires precise temperature control to produce safe, shelf-stable products while maintaining the flavour and texture that pets prefer. ThermDry multi-zone recipe control automates temperature staging for different treat types — from single-protein jerky to multi-ingredient dental chews.
Built for Food Processing
Key advantages of ThermDry dehydrators for pet food & animal feed applications.
Treat-Safe Drying
AI-powered recipe profiles include validated kill-step staging for pet treat safety — pathogen elimination at 71°C+ followed by controlled drying to achieve shelf-stable water activity.
Uniform Drying Quality
CFD-designed airflow eliminates the hot spots that over-dry treats and cold spots that leave them unsafe — every position delivers identical results for consistent product quality.
Nutritional Integrity
Low-temperature drying profiles preserve heat-sensitive vitamins, amino acids, and minerals — ensuring the finished product meets the nutritional claims on your packaging.
Food-Safe Construction
Full stainless steel construction with smooth, crevice-free surfaces meets pet food manufacturing hygiene standards — easy to clean between product runs.
Efficient Production
Double-walled insulation and AI-optimised cycles reduce energy consumption per batch — keeping production costs competitive in the growing pet food market.
Scalable Output
Single-trolley TDS-3500 for speciality treat producers or double-door TDD-6500 for large-scale pet food manufacturing — both with identical recipe control.
Built to Fit Your Operation
Drop-in dehydration solution for your pet food & animal feed line — from raw product intake to shelf-stable output.
Unsafe Treats End Brands Overnight.
A single pathogen incident triggers recalls, regulatory investigations, and permanent brand damage in the pet food market. Pet owners trust you with their animals' health. ThermDry validated kill-step profiles and uniform drying ensure every treat in every batch is safe — protecting the trust your brand is built on.
Validated kill-step staging at 71°C+ across every tray position — no cold spots, no under-processed pockets. Complete pathogen elimination is verified by multi-zone temperature logging, giving you HACCP documentation that proves safety for every batch.
Uniform drying across all positions achieves consistent water activity below 0.65 — the threshold that prevents mould growth. Your treats reach customers in perfect condition, reducing the wastage and returns that destroy pet food margins.
Low-temperature drying profiles preserve the vitamins, amino acids, and minerals your formulations require. ThermDry precision means the nutritional values on your packaging match what is in the bag — protecting your brand claims and regulatory compliance.

Pet Food & Animal Feed FAQs
Common questions about using ThermDry dehydrators for pet food & animal feed, meat drying, and air frying applications.
Pet treats typically require 45-85°C depending on the protein source and product type. Kill-step staging at 71°C+ ensures pathogen safety, followed by lower-temperature drying (50-65°C) to achieve target water activity. Our recipe system automates this staging for consistent safety and quality.
The recipe system includes validated kill-step staging at 71°C+ for pathogen elimination, with full temperature logging across all zones for HACCP documentation. Sealed stainless steel construction prevents cross-contamination, and consistent drying conditions ensure all positions achieve safe water activity levels.
Yes. The recipe system stores profiles for single-protein jerky, multi-ingredient dental chews, dehydrated organs, fish skin treats, and more. Each profile controls temperature staging, humidity, and timing for the specific product type. Switching between products is as simple as selecting a stored recipe.
The TDS-3500 suits speciality and artisan treat producers processing 100-300 kg per batch. The TDD-6500 handles commercial-scale manufacturing at 300-600 kg per batch. Both models deliver identical food safety and quality control capabilities.
Multi-zone control ensures uniform drying conditions across all tray positions — critical for pet treat safety where under-dried pockets create pathogen risk. The system also enables temperature staging within a single cycle, automating the kill-step and drying phases for hands-off operation.
The smooth stainless steel interior with no hidden crevices allows thorough cleaning between product runs. Front-plate access panels enable component inspection without specialist tools. For pet food & animal feed environments, we recommend daily surface cleaning, weekly filter inspection, and quarterly full maintenance — all achievable within normal production schedules.
