| Carefully-Controlled Process Our sprawling facility includes an enormous food-extrusion system that wends its way throughout the building on two floors. The massive machinery includes many processing stations interconnected by conduits and conveyors that move specially-selected quality ingredients through a complex and carefully-controlled food-making procedure. The mixing station has a combination of many silos and bins where grains, such as seeds and corn, are stored. The extrusion process consists of cooking the ingredients under pressure into a soft dough which then passes through dies to give various shapes and textures. Finished food is then slowly dried and packaged in air barrier bags to ensure freshness and long shelf life. |
