Pet Food – Feed
Wide variety of pet feeds serve nutritional needs
Pet ownership rose to an all-time high in 2020 to include 70% of U.S. households, which resulted in increased spending on pet food and supplies. All animals require balanced nutrition to flourish, and there exist multiple types of feed depending on species and applications within those categories.
Industry surveys reveal that pet owners prefer products with premium ingredients that are sustainably sourced. Most feed products require delicate handling since breakage affects quality perceptions and salability.
Maintaining proportionate blends essential for pet feed mixes
One key for these types of feeds is to maintain proportions in blends and mixes as batches move through the various processing steps towards packaging. Many of these blends contain variable densities and granularity elements, leading to sifting or separating that can affect proportional accuracy when delivering a balanced mix in the end product is essential. The design elements that comprise cable and tube conveyor systems present a definitive solution to provide a balanced batch of feed ingredients that retain product integrity. The tubular drag cable system contains and delivers batch loads in individual compartments, similar to a series of train cars. These are gently propelled along the cable by discs that minimize product damage, reduce waste, drastically cut back on dust and eliminate separation for a thoroughly amalgamated mixture.
