The Petfoods industry places high demands
The Petfoods industry places high demands on hygiene, efficiency, and product quality. From mixing and coating raw materials to transporting and packaging the final product, every process step must run reliably and consistently. At the same time, food safety, energy consumption, and working conditions play an increasingly important role in the sector.
Spraybest supports companies in the Petfoods industry with technical solutions for coating, air drying, cleaning and washing, tank mixing, tank cleaning, pneumatic conveying, and anti-static treatment of production lines. We think along with you about the right spray, compressed air, and process technology for your situation. We work with renowned brands such as BETE, EmiControls, and EXAIR. These brands are well suited to applications where spray technology, water misting, and compressed air solutions play a central role in the Petfoods production process.
Coating Petfoods for better quality
When coating Petfoods, liquids such as oils, fats, or flavorings are applied evenly across the product. Good coating results in better feed conversion, more appealing taste, and a longer shelf life for the product. Uneven coating layers can lead to quality differences, waste of costly raw materials, or a less attractive end product.
BETE is relevant for professional spray solutions suited to coating Petfoods. With air-atomizing nozzles, even thicker liquids can be finely and evenly distributed, tailored to the desired droplet size, capacity, and spray angle. This creates a uniform coating layer with minimal risk of dripping, contributing to less product loss and a more stable production process.
Air drying for efficient production lines
In many production processes within the Petfoods industry, moisture must be removed from products or packaging, for example after a washing or coating step. Residual moisture can lead to mold growth, clumping, or quality loss during storage and transport. Air drying ensures that thin liquid layers are removed quickly and effectively.
BETE supplies air blast nozzles that convert compressed air into a flat, fan-shaped airstream, making it easy to remove moisture from surfaces. EXAIR also offers air knives and air wipes suited to drying products, packaging, or components on the production line. With the right combination of airflow and compressed air consumption, you can make drying processes more efficient and energy-saving.
Cleaning and washing of installations and equipment
Hygiene is of great importance in the Petfoods industry, both for product quality and animal safety. Installations, conveyor belts, and production equipment must be cleaned regularly and thoroughly to prevent product contamination and cross-contamination. Effective cleaning also saves time and water.
BETE supplies nozzles specifically suited for washing and cleaning, with a powerful spray jet that effectively loosens contamination. Thanks to various spray angles and flow rates, the spray technology can be tailored to the nature of the contamination and the shape of the installation, contributing to thorough and efficient cleaning of your production environment.
Tank mixing and tank cleaning
Within the Petfoods industry, liquids such as oils, molasses, or other additives are often stored and mixed in tanks. It's important that the contents remain well mixed and that settling or separation of liquids is prevented. Traditional mechanical mixing systems often require extra maintenance and space.
BETE supplies nozzles that enable tank mixing without any moving parts inside the tank. By circulating liquid through the nozzle via a pump, the tank contents are mixed in a way that is simple, low-maintenance, and energy-efficient.
Besides mixing, tank cleaning is also an important process. Storage tanks and process vessels must be cleaned before and after use to prevent product contamination. BETE offers various types of tank cleaning nozzles for this, from stationary nozzles for smaller tanks to rotating nozzles for larger storage tanks. This way, cleaning can be tailored to the size of the tank, the degree of contamination, and any obstacles such as agitators.
Pneumatic conveying of raw materials
Transporting raw materials such as grains, powders, granules, or pellets is an essential part of the production process in the Petfoods industry. Pneumatic conveying makes it possible to move these materials efficiently through hoses and pipes, without mechanical conveyor belts or extra space in the production hall.
EXAIR supplies compressed air solutions that transport powders, granules, and tablets through pipes via a venturi effect. This creates negative pressure on one side and positive pressure on the other, allowing material to move effortlessly. When transporting dry, fine raw materials, dust can also develop. EmiControls offers water misting solutions for this that bind dust particles, contributing to cleaner and safer working conditions around transfer points and hoppers.
Anti-static treatment of production lines
When processing dry products such as powders, granules, or packaging material, static electricity can build up. This can lead to clinging dust, disruptions when feeding packaging material, or even sparking, which poses a safety risk in dusty environments.
EXAIR offers ionization equipment that neutralizes static electricity by ionizing the surrounding air. This discharges the static charge from objects, helping to prevent clinging dust, material disruptions, and shock hazards. The equipment is available in various configurations, so it can be tailored to the specific setup of your production line.
