June 6, 2025

Profitable. Sustainable. Game-changing. The RDT transforms low-cost by-products into structured, meat-like premium chunks—without the high costs of real meat. DANA Technology’s Rotary Disc Texturizer (RDT) transforms how manufacturers create premium pet food—delivering the meat-like texture pets crave while maximizing efficiency and sustainability.

With the perfect balance of heat and rotation, the RDT transforms poultry, fish, and meat by-products into fibrous, structured bites—without expensive prime cuts. Whether you’re working with poultry, fish, or meat by-products, you can create high-quality premium chunks that pets love while cutting waste and maximizing profit.

Instead of being processed into flour, oil, or biogas, these raw materials can now be turned into premium, textured meat-like premium chunks, boosting profitability almost instantly.
