Pet Feed Screening – Choosing a Feed Rotary Vibrating Sieve: Introduction to Precision Particle Size Classification Equipment



  • Two Core Objectives in Pet Feed Screening

Pet feed (especially extruded dry kibble) has strict requirements for pellet specifications – the screening stage must address two critical issues:


1. Removing impurities and off‑spec products. Removing stones, twine, metal filings from raw materials, as well as broken pellets and powder generated during production – ensuring a clean, uniform finished product appearance. Gaofu's rotary vibrating sieve achieves an impurity removal rate of over 99%.


2. Precise grading. Different pet sizes and life stages require different pellet sizes. Multi‑deck screening can separate material into multiple specifications in a single pass (e.g., puppy food, adult dog food, large‑breed dog food) – meeting diverse market demands.


  • Core Features of Gaofu's S49 Series Pet Feed Rotary Vibrating Sieve

1. Multi‑deck grading design – multiple specifications from one machine

Gaofu's vibrating sieve can be configured with 1 to 5 screen decks , simultaneously producing multiple particle size fractions. Whether removing oversized particles or screening out fine powder and debris, precise control is achieved by selecting the appropriate mesh size – ensuring uniform and stable finished pellets.


Grading fineness: covers 10 to 400 mesh;

Classification efficiency: reaches 90% to 98%;

Screen decks: 1 to 5 flexible configurations.


2. Food‑grade 304 stainless steel – hygiene and safety assured

The equipment is constructed of 304 stainless steel , complying with pet food safety production standards. The mirror‑polished surface makes it easy to clean and resistant to residue – safeguarding the clean quality of every batch of pet food.


3. Fully enclosed structure – protecting the clean production environment

To meet the strict hygiene requirements of pet food, the equipment features a fully enclosed structure – dust does not escape during screening, effectively preventing external contamination. A negative‑pressure extraction system can also be configured to further optimise the workshop environment.


4. Gentle vibration – preserving pellet integrity

The rotary vibrating sieve uses a three‑dimensional vibration principle with adjustable vibration intensity – effectively preventing feed pellet breakage or fragmentation during screening, preserving the good appearance and complete structure of every kibble. Equipment operating noise is ≤65 dB.


5. Easy maintenance – reducing operating costs

The equipment features a unique screen mounting structure – screen changes are quick (typically completed in 3‑5 minutes), reducing downtime. The vibrating motor, as the excitation source, runs stably with low energy consumption and low maintenance frequency.

  • Applicable Scenarios

Gaofu's S49 series pet feed rotary vibrating sieve is widely applicable in the following scenarios:


Pet dry kibble production lines: Finished product grading of extruded pellets – removing broken particles and dust;

Pet treat processing: Grading and screening of freeze‑dried meat pieces and jerky;

Pet food raw material pre‑treatment: Initial cleaning of corn, soybean meal, meat and bone meal, and other raw materials;

Pet nutritional additives: In‑process screening of ultra‑fine powdered additives.


  • Customised Solutions for Diverse Applications

Pet feed raw materials come in many forms – meat meal, grains, tubers, freeze‑dried meat pieces, and more – with different moisture content, oiliness, and particle characteristics:


For materials prone to blinding: A screen cleaning device can be configured to effectively prevent mesh blockage


For ultra‑fine powders (such as pet food additives and flavourings): An ultrasonic vibrating screen can be used – ultrasonic vibration waves inhibit powder agglomeration and improve screening efficiency


Gaofu Machinery provides one‑on‑one technical consultation and customised equipment solutions based on customers' material characteristics and production capacity requirements.
