Process and primary packaging

The pet food sector is growing rapidly and has an increasing variety of brands and products for different needs, but in terms of packaging the vast majority end up in cans, pouches or doypacks.

In both cases, these are products that are pasteurised in order to extend their shelf life. In these processes, MH only intervenes at the output of the primary packaging machines.



Feeding to secondary packaging
The connections to secondary packaging are mostly made with table top conveyors in the case of cans or modular chain conveyors in the case of doypack, and the most common devices are mergers, sorters and accumulation systems.
Some special devices such as can stackers or multi-flavour combination systems can be found in this market.

In fact, it is quite common for the secondary packaging for supermarket shelves to be a single display containing several product flavours to choose from.
Some manufacturers prefer to have several production lines working simultaneously, hence the need for the combination system.

Connection to palletiser

The boxes or bundles thus produced are then handled on the usual box conveyor lines to the palletiser.
