Best performance for best friends

Everything but compromises: The pet food market offers enormous economic potential - which you can optimally exploit with the process expertise of Zeppelin Systems.

Efficient pet food production thanks to Zeppelin's process expertise

More and more people are discovering their love of pets. In this country alone, almost 50 per cent of households now have large and small animal housemates. And for those we love, only the best is good enough. Accordingly, when producing pet food, reproducible quality is as important as quantity. This is precisely where our high-performance system components and innovative process concepts come into play - with the help of which you can generate optimum conditions for both objectives, be it through quick adaptability to changing raw materials, uncomplicated cleaning options or the reliable avoidance of potentially critical cross-contamination.

Optimally equipped with Zeppelin Systems

Mastering the Challenge of Animal Feed Production

The production of dry pet food is a complex process that presents numerous challenges for manufacturers. The selection and quality of raw materials, such as meat, grains, and vegetables, play a crucial role in the nutritional value and safety of the products. Every processing step must be precisely controlled to ensure consistent quality and texture. At the same time, strict hygiene standards and food safety measures are essential to avoid health risks for the animals. Packaging also plays a key role in ensuring the shelf life and nutritional quality of the pet food. However, the demands extend far beyond production, requiring manufacturers to continuously adapt and innovate.

High-Quality Raw Materials as the Foundation

The quality of pet food starts with the selection of raw materials. Meat, grains, and vegetables must not only be nutrient-rich but also free from contaminants. Regular inspections during the production process are therefore essential.

Precise Control of Processing Steps

Grinding, extruding, and drying are key steps that must meet the highest standards. Only through precise control of these processes can consistent quality and texture of the pet food be ensured.

Adherence to Hygiene Standards

Strict hygiene measures are necessary to ensure food safety. They minimize the risk of contamination and protect the health of the animals.

Packaging for Shelf Life and Protection

Packaging plays a crucial role in protecting pet food from moisture and air. This helps maintain shelf life and ensures the preservation of nutritional quality.

Adaptation to Specific Nutritional Needs

The formulations must meet the specific needs of the animals. Regular testing and adjustments are necessary to ensure optimal nutrition.

Innovation and Sustainability in Competition

The trend towards specialized diets and sustainable products requires continuous innovation. At the same time, manufacturers must ensure efficient and cost-effective production to remain competitive in the global market.
