Process for manufacturing an injection molded pet treat

A process for manufacturing an edible pet treat by an injection molding machine, comprising the steps of:

• inputting one or more raw materials in a storage container of an injection molding machine;
• dispensing the raw materials from the input storage container to hopper of the injection molding machine;
• maintaining the quantity of the raw material to a preset threshold value in the hopper of the injection molding machine;
• heating the raw material at a predetermined temperature to a semi-liquid state in an injection unit of the injection molding machine;
• injecting the heated raw material into a thinner and uniform wall thickness mold pet treat design thereby enabling rapid cooling of the hot post molded pet treat,
• wherein the predetermined temperature by incorporating barrel and hot runner zone temperature for the injection unit ranges from 210° F. to 280° F., the predetermined injection speed for the injection unit ranges from 1 in/s to 5 in/s, the injection unit further comprises injection screw recovery speed from 50 rpm to 140 rpm, the injection pressure is maintained between 700 PSI to 1700 PSI, and the predetermined temperature for the injection mold ranges from 50° F. to 110° F.;
• ejecting the molded pet treat to the injection molding discharge area, and conveying the ejected pet treat via a conveyance device to a packaging unit thereby producing the packed pet treat product in a single, continuous, and sterile production line.
