Pet food is formulated to meet specific sensory and organoleptic characteristics, ensuring that each animal receives the necessary nutrients. Whether it’s a neutered cat, a large dog, a puppy, or an elderly dog with health conditions, there is a pet food product designed for every need. Therefore, pet food, its manufacturing process, and packaging must meet consumer requirements. Hygiene, particularly for wet products, is crucial. Additionally, convenience and ease of transportation are equally important considerations. Lastly, it is beneficial if the packaging meets eco-sustainability standards.
Through the acquisition of MACS, ILPRA’s product lineup has expanded, allowing us to provide pet food packaging solutions. Our range includes bagging machines, vertical packaging machines, and sealing fillers. We will help you find the ideal configuration based on your production requirements, integrating necessary technologies such as weighing machines, X-ray control systems, and metal detectors.
For meat-based products, which are delicate and perishable once opened, the current trend is to use single-serve packs. On the other hand, dry products like biscuits or kibble can be packaged in larger containers equipped with freshness-preserving accessories. This allows the bag to be closed and reopened multiple times, preserving the aroma and fragrance.
