Wet pet food production

Meeting the high production volumes

Benefit from our experience as a key player in wet pet food handling

Over the past 50 years, Lan Handling Technologies has won its spurs in the field of wet pet food production lines. Benefit from our experience, gained in more than 300 projects worldwide, with various packaging types. From common stand-up, pillow and spouted pouches, cans and semi-rigid containers (cups, pots) to unusual shapes: we design and integrate your automated batch retort handling system.

Growing demand drives pet food production

Like no other industry,

the pet food industry is confronted with the increasing demand for higher pet food production volumes and variation in product range. Gone is the time that pets are served the same bowl of dry food every day. Among pet owners you see a continuous shift in consumer demand for higher quality nutrients. Trends such as grain-free, raw and protein-rich food can be well applied in wet pet food.

The higher quality and variety of pet food in general also places higher demands on the machines on which they are produced. Flexibility and short changeover times are just as important as hygienic design and good cleanability of the machines. Our handling systems give you that certainty.

Highlighted: pet food production project

We have installed a fully automated pet food handling system for 4 different can sizes.

To respond to the growing demand for wet pet food, Vet Concept decided to bring in this production.

Old situation
Production at external co-packer.

New situation
Automated handling system for cans (100g, 200g, 400g and 800g). Capacity of up to 700 cans per minute.

How it works?
Cans arrive at the loader and are placed layer by layer in the basket. A shuttle transports the filled baskets in and out of the retorts. After dewatering, the cans continue to the packaging machines.
