Checking die knives regularly is crucial to
ensuring there are no damaged or missing
pieces, which can result in deformed or
damaged product.
Wenger Manufacturing, Inc.

surface of a die to cut the product
as it emerges from the die orifices.
For long goods, Wenger offers two
technolgies - a guillotine cutter and
a rotary belt cutter. The guillotine
cutter is good for up-and-down cuts
on long goods, Tramp says. "As product cools, this cuts straight down and
then retracts. Usually, it cuts multiple streams of product at once and
then moves on."
Galen Rokey, director of process, companion animal division,
Wenger, says the rotary belt cutter
features a rotary knife on a conveyer rotating at high RPMs. "This fits
the trend in pet food for products to
look more rugged and handmade,"
he says. For sizing, Wenger offers
a back-pressure valve and inline
sampling for the management of size
and shape of a product as it exits the
extruder die and enters the cutting area. "With the desire now for
high-meat and high-moisture products, there has been a trend to
more gentle handling of this tender
product until it is dry," Rokey says.
Sylvie Brunel, Ph.D., product
and process development manager,
Clextral, Tampa, Florida, agrees
and says the company's cutters
have optimized designs to preserve
the product shape during cutting
and transfer. "This is critical as the
product exiting the extruder is typically hot and often in a malleable
state," she says. "Our Evolum dieface cutters are designed to allow
fine-tuning of the blade position
during operation to ensure product
consistency, and the flexibility to
start the extruder, then quickly and
safely position the cutter in front of
the die."
Clextral offers several styles of cutters that are used for different products, but die-face cutters are used for
