Routine Cleaning During Production Breaks: Quick and Efficient, Ensuring Continuous Production. During daily production, a simple cleaning is required after each batch or during production breaks (such as lunch breaks or before leaving get off work) to remove surface residues inside the small dog food pellet machine, preventing residual materials from drying and affecting the next batch. Cleaning Procedure: First, turn off the power and wait for the equipment to cool to below 50℃. Clean the remaining raw materials from the hopper; rinse the feed inlet and die head with warm water, and gently brush the residue inside the die head orifice with a soft brush; put a small amount of bran or cornmeal into the hopper, start the machine and run it idle for 3-5 minutes, using the friction of the material to remove residues from the screw and extrusion chamber. Finally, clean the discharged bran or cornmeal. This cleaning method does not require disassembly of parts, is quick (10-15 minutes), and can quickly restore the equipment to production status.
Cleaning When Changing Formula/Product Type: Thorough Cleaning to Avoid Cross-Contamination. When changing the feed formula (such as switching from high-protein dog food to hypoallergenic cat food) or the product type, a thorough cleaning must be performed to avoid cross-contamination of raw material residues from different formulas, which could affect feed quality. Cleaning Process: First, perform a preliminary cleaning according to the daily cleaning procedure; disassemble key components such as the die head and screw of the pet food making machine for home, soak them in warm water with food-grade detergent for 30 minutes, then thoroughly scrub with a soft brush; rinse the disassembled parts repeatedly with clean water until there are no residues or odors; after the parts are dried, reassemble them. After reassembly, start the equipment and run it idle for 5-10 minutes with the new formula to clean any residues inside the small pet food making machine before starting formal production. For example, when switching from producing fishmeal-containing fish feed to producing fishmeal-free pet food, all parts must be thoroughly cleaned to avoid fishmeal residue causing allergies in pets.
Cleaning Before Long-Term Shutdown: Comprehensive maintenance to prevent parts from rusting. If the floating fish feed extruder machine needs to be shut down for an extended period (e.g., more than one week), a comprehensive cleaning and maintenance is required to prevent residual raw materials from becoming moldy and equipment parts from rusting. Cleaning Process: Thoroughly clean the equipment according to the standards for cleaning with a new formula, ensuring no residue remains on any parts; completely wipe or blow dry any moisture inside the equipment, especially metal parts such as the screw and extrusion chamber; apply a layer of food-grade anti-rust oil to key areas such as the screw and the inner wall of the extrusion chamber to prevent corrosion caused by prolonged inactivity; properly store disassembled parts to avoid collision damage; finally, cover the entire equipment with a dust cover to prevent dust from entering. For example, before shutting down for the Spring Festival holiday, the extruder needs to be thoroughly cleaned and maintained, and anti-rust oil applied to ensure normal startup and operation after the holiday.
