Importance of Skilled Integrators for the Animal Nutrition Industry
Bags, including woven, PP, and PE, are a common type of packaging for dry animal feed. Bagging machines, therefore, are important upstream equipment. Adjustable pushdown bag style end effectors are a huge benefit in maintaining the shape of the bags as they are placed on the pallet. Bag chutes, or adjustable bag chute conveyors for running multiple bag sizes, are also common.
Pallets of bagged, dry animal feed are typically made with overlapped stacking patterns. Stretch wrappers add stability, while checkweighers and metal detectors ensure products are contaminant-free. Our experienced team ensures all the end-of-line equipment communicates with each other to keep your production as fast and efficient as possible.
