Since 2014,The global pet food industry is steadily growing in sizeIt is expected to grow by 5.3% by 2023. According to statistics from 2018, there were 471 million pet dogs and 373 million pet cats worldwide. This large and constantly growing number of pets is also reflected in the increasing revenue of pet food manufacturers.
How can pet food manufacturers meet consumer demand and capture the hearts of "poop scoopers" in the rapidly growing market?
More flexible production
Solution from Intico
Nowadays, many pets are regarded as members of the family, and pet food is no longer just a source of food for pets, but also reflects the lifestyle of pet owners.The standards for pet food are gradually approaching those for human foodTherefore, emerging products with sustainable development and green organic as selling points are becoming increasingly popular.
But for pet food manufacturers, these emerging products were initially produced in small batches. In order to achieve small batch production increases,Machines must be more flexibleAllow for re adjustment after initial installation.
Thanks to 150 years of research and accumulation, Intico's product applications cover almost all fields: weighing sensors and platform scales for feeding, raw material storage, and production processes, as well as dynamic inspection scales and testing products for final quality inspection of packaging. This also includes products that can be adjusted again after installation.

High standard foreign object detection
Solution from Intico
With the development of the pet industry, pet food production has introduced many new quality systems, such as HACCP, BRC, IFS, etc., many of which are the same as the quality systems used in ordinary food production.
In order to obtain authentication,Foreign object detection is crucialBefore the processing flow, foreign object detection can check whether the raw materials are contaminated; After the processing flow, foreign object detection can reduce product contamination caused by machine friction during raw material mixing and other processing flows.
Food industry safety is the top priority, and defective products and their resulting recalls not only affect the company's imageserious damageIt will also result in economic losses. To avoid recalls, many pet food manufacturers choose to use Intico products during production to detect foreign object contamination caused by metals, stones, plastics, or other materials in raw materials and finished products.
Accurate weighing reduces waste
Solution from Intico
Moreover, due to the diversity of pet food types and forms, there is a high demand for flexibility and precision in the production line. During the production process, even ifSlight changes in moisture contentBoth will affect the conductivity level of food in humid environments, leading to a high rate of product failure.
In addition to foreign object inspection, Intico's weighing scales and sensors are also ideal choices to ensure accurate product weighing. When weighing products containing individual small packages such as large pieces of pet food, the Intico weighing scale can ensure that the product packaging weight is closer to the food quality regulations, therebyReduce waste.
