Dry pet food bagging Equipment

Bagging is the process of packaging measured portions of a product into bags that protect it from spoilage, enable easy and safe transportation, and secure the product against tampering and pilferage. The choice of bagging equipment depends on the desired mass or volume per bag, the flow characteristics of the product, and bag construction and design. Bags vary in size from small sachets to bulk flexible containers. Bagging systems are often the last processing step that is generally integrated into a production line.

Bagging

Around 1860, American businessman James Spratt made dog biscuits by mixing vegetables, flour, beetroot, and meat. His novel idea came after he noticed dogs eating leftover biscuits from ships in England. Following the commercial success in Britain, he started production in America, and it didn’t take long before others developed their own baked pet food formulas. But the need for more palatability led to experiments beyond the oven. In 1956, extruded dry pet food production made its splash on the market.

There is an increasing demand for a range of different package sizes of the same product. If you are a small-scale producer working with powdery or moderately free-flowing goods, it would be expensive to own and maintain different packaging equipment. You would require a packaging machine which can adapt to industry specific requirements. To adhere to these specific requirements, a flexible and user-friendly packaging solution is needed.


<h2>High-performance and high flexibility</h2>
STATEC BINDER’S SYSTEM-F is a fully automatic vertical form-fill-seal packaging machine. It has a bagging capacity of about 900 bags an hour. It produces pillow bags and gusset bags with or without carrying handle and a filling weight between 5 kg and 50 kg from the flat film.

The flat film to be used for packaging the product is first inflated with the help of a forming shoulder. This process is easily carried out because the forming shoulder is laced with a low friction coating. The initial seal on the film is made by a constantly heated hot-sealing bar, which performs vertical overlapping sealing. The product to be packaged is weighed according to pre-set requirements and is poured into the film via the filling tube. The hot-sealing bar then seals the filled package on the top, while also forming a lower seal for the next flat film. The packaging system also has a built-in blade which ensures that filled bags are separated from the tube. The entire process is carried out with the shortest possible cycle times with the help of an intensive air cooling system.

The Vertical Form Seal Machine has an adjustable format set which allows different package sizes to be produced. The format or production can be changed by just one person in just a few minutes by a rotating magazine. This rotating magazine is installed directly on the machine and holds several format sets of different sizes ready at all times. Although it is primarily aimed to be used for packaging moderately free flowing products such as chemicals, it is also suitable to be used with products such as animal feed, fertilizer and salt.

While the traditional HFFS machine could have trouble holding the pouch during the packaging process, Bossar has developed an innovative technology as the solution.</p>

<h2>Growing trend of pouch packaging for pet food</h2>
Due to the growing trend of pet adoption and the increasing awareness of pet health, pet owners are demanding the dry pet food products to be as good as other food products. Meanwhile, the industry has started directing its focus on pet food packaging, such as spill-proof, and the ability of maintaining product quality. Pouches, among all the other packaging solutions for pet food, will have higher demand by the fact that they are inherently convenient for consumers, including zippered closure mechanism as well as the reduced transportation fee due to their light weight.
<h2>Innovative technology to grip pouches in pet food filling and sealing process</h2>
When packing and <a href="https://making.com/dry-pet-food">processing large volume of dry pet food</a> into pouches, it can be problematic for traditional cam-driven mechanical HFFS machines. This is because the grippers may not be able to exert enough pressure to hold pouches in place. Bossar's Horizontal Form Fill Seal - BCS machine consists of mechanical grippers assembled on a linear carousel with intermittent motion that hold the pouches, keeping its position during the complete filling and sealing process.
