Today’s pet food manufacturers are constantly searching for methods to improve process efficiency, changeover times, and, of course, ensuring product safety. One of the key technologies which can help address and improve all of these factors is the method of pneumatic conveying used in each process step, whether it is for the raw ingredients (major and minors), for the pet food kibble or ingredient blends prior to their next process step or for the final product prior to packaging. Older methods of transferring finished products and even raw ingredients via mechanical means such as drag conveyors or spiral screw conveyors are quickly diminishing. Pneumatic conveying is often chosen as a clean and versatile method for pet food manufacturers to efficiently transfer finished products and raw ingredients from point A to point B in a completely contained manner. Pneumatic conveying offers a much cleaner and safe alternative. By properly selecting the best pneumatic conveying method for the application, a much more cost effective and reliable means of material handling can be achieved. This white paper will outline and define the methods of pneumatic conveying available, with an emphasis on the advantages of dense phase conveying types for a variety of unit operations in pet food processing.
