When the pups are hungry, they’re typically not shy about letting someone know.  Dynequip, Inc has supplied the pet food industry with conveying and bulk material handling processing equipment since 1972.

First developed in 1860 in England, the pet food and treat industry in the US is currently at $38.4 billion per year. People love their pets and show it in the quality of food they feed their furry loved ones. With that kind of demand, the processing of pet food needs to be a seamless and continuous effort.

In many ways the manufacturing of pet food is like processing of human food. There is a recipe to follow, items must move efficiently through the system and then move to packaging line. Throughout the manufacturing system, many of the items Dynequip, Inc. specializes in are used. Some of the highlights include:

  • Bulk bag unload and bag dumps
  • Bulk bag fillers
  • Hoppers, gates, and diverters
  • Screw conveyors
  • Vibratory conveying and screening
  • Magnets
  • Rotary airlocks
  • Custom systems

Demand for high-quality pet food is a growing category. As more people are adopting pets since the onset of COVID-19, the rise in consumption continues to climb. Keeping up with the supply is an ongoing challenge for producers of pet food. Having a highly efficient system in place is key.
