About us

RATINA ® = RAntrumer TIerNAhrung

Team

Ratina GmbH & Co. KG was founded in July 2019. In just one year we have set up a production facility for premium pet food, more precisely dog ​​and cat snacks, fish and small animal food and we are an approved feed manufacturer for pet food. The heart of our production facility is an extruder. An extruder (a kind of large meat grinder) is ideal for producing high-quality pet food in different shapes and sizes. With the help of the extrusion process, dry food can be prepared under gentle conditions. Due to the temperature in the extruder and the addition of water, the raw materials in the pet food are broken down so that the animals can digest the food more easily. In addition, the extrudate is sterilized by the increased temperature and the risk of bacterial or viral contamination is reduced to a minimum.

Our team consists of fitters, electricians, programmers, process engineers and business people with years of experience. We are highly innovative and quick to implement.

Sustainability

We use renewable energies to manufacture our products. PV systems on the roofs provide the electricity for production. From their construction to the start of production, these have already fed in over 400 MWh of electrical energy. The energy from the PV systems is sufficient to cover our electrical energy consumption for the production system.

We use our own water well for cooling. In a closed system, i.e. without water consumption, the cold of the groundwater at a depth of 100m is used to cool down our process. All that is needed is a small centrifugal pump to pump the cold water (approx. 10 ° C) through the heat exchangers used to cool the extruder and to cool the belt.

The waste heat from a bio-gas plant heats the production hall, the warehouse, the office building and the workshop.

In addition, the extrusion process is known for low product loss, so that we also conserve raw material resources with the production process.

 

Packaging

Our bags are made of recyclable PE. At the moment, this is environmentally friendly packaging in many ways for the packaging system used. Alternatives such as paper bags would have to be coated with plastic in order for the seal, i.e. the closure of the packaging works. In most cases, however, the proportion of plastic used is so high that the paper packaging cannot be disposed of in the recycling bin for waste paper. Other alternatives such as the rotable packaging are usually used. Taken out before the composting process and ends up in the residual waste, as the 42 days required to rot in the facilities are not available. Garden compostable bags are also often disposed of in the residual waste, as very few animal lovers call a compost heap their own. In the cities in particular, this hardly ever happens.

Therefore, please properly recycle our empty bags according to the specifications of your disposal company! However, we are always on the lookout for more practical and environmentally friendly alternatives and are therefore in constant contact with the packaging industry.
