Pet Food Slurry Viscosity - Hydro-Thermal Corp. Flow Rate: 12 GPM [3 m3/hr] Inlet Temperature: 50°F [10°C] Discharge Temperature: 195°F [91°C] Steam Supply Pressure: 105 PSIG [7.2 barg] A pet food processor division of a conglomerate manufacturer featuring 50 leadership brands wanted to improve their process at the spray bar of the extruder and needed to maintain the proper viscosity of the meat slurry. Another main objective was to implement sustainability initiatives per their corporate plan. At this location, an inefficient sparging system was in use that had trouble holding the proper water temperature. In addition, this system took up a lot of space and wasted energy. This company also needed better temperature control at the extruder for a more consistent product viscosity. S
