Animal Feed
How Trantec Serves the Animal Food Industry
Trantec specialises in delivering advanced metering and conveying solutions tailored to meet the rigorous standards of the pet food production industry. Our equipment is designed to uphold stringent hygiene standards, ensure precise dosing, and minimise downtime, helping pet food manufacturers maintain high productivity and exceptional product quality.
Like human foods, animal food should be produced under sanitary conditions, and certain legislation must be met surrounding its production process and distribution to ensure it is safe for animals to eat. With cross-contamination being at the forefront of concern within the food and pet food industry, Trantec equipment is available crevice-free to enable problem-free cleaning and prevent material build-up.
Solutions for Pet Food Manufacturing
Our equipment range includes Flexible screw conveyors, metering screw feeders, FIBC bulk bag dischargers and more.
To determine which feeder or conveyor will provide optimum efficiency for your application, Trantec offers a comprehensive product testing and evaluation service. This service involves a thorough assessment of your materials and production processes to confirm the compatibility and effectiveness of our equipment. If necessary, we can modify and add additional features to our equipment for unique applications for optimal performance, ensuring that our solutions are tailored to your exact requirements.
Robust and Hygienic Construction
At Trantec, our equipment is designed with smooth, non-porous surfaces to reduce contaminant accumulation. They also feature food-grade lubricants, metal-detectable silicone gaskets (blue or white), and easily removable, food-contact-approved PTFE-based shaft seals. Motors can be upgraded to a stainless crevice-free version, offering a sanitary, durable, and corrosion-resistant alternative suitable for pet food processing.
Durability and Reliability
Trantec equipment is built to last, utilizing high-quality materials such as stainless steel 316, which offers full traceability of construction materials. This superior material provides resistance to corrosion and chemicals, extending the operational life of the equipment and reducing replacement costs. The durability of stainless steel, known for withstanding significant mechanical stress and high temperatures, ensures reliable, long-term performance, instilling trust and assurance in our equipment.
Easy-clean, Quick-release Design
Machines can incorporate a Clean-in-Place (CIP) configuration and quick-release mechanisms that enable rapid, tool-less dismantling. This feature significantly reduces downtime for cleaning, ensuring that your production line can quickly resume operation. The easy-clean polished surfaces and food-grade finish, including crevice-free welds, further enhance the efficiency of cleaning, reducing the overall time and effort required.
