Process solutions for the meat, fish and pet food industry

The animal protein industry (meat, eggs, fish) and animal feed (pet food) brings together a diversity of products, raw materials, health constraints and formats. 

Whether it is products intended for human consumption (jelly, emulsion, liquid eggs, reconstituted meat, etc.).) or animal feed (kibble, pâtés, sweets), the industrial challenges converge around major priorities.

How to adress the meat, fish, petfood challenges?

Safety and health hygiene: 

  • Strict compliance with standards
  • High-risk products (digest, viscera, eggs, meat by-products) requiring rigorous cleaning in place
  • Control of temperature, cross-contamination and material traceability

Mastery of the diversity of textures and viscosities

  • Highly variable products: liquid fats at 60 °C, dry animal meal, cold-sticky MSM, liquid eggs sensitive to agitation, food gels and emulsions,
  • Need to transfer, dose or mix without distorting or causing marbling or stoppage

Adaptation to packaging and throughput constraints

  • Just-in-time production line (24/7),
  • Synchronization of dosing with existing filling machines,
  • Reduction of material losses and optimization of processing costs.
  • Need for a flexible and modular process to manage multiple recipes without changing lines.

A kibble manufacturer industrializes the transfer of mechanically separated meat

 

Need

Manage the transfer of mechanically separated meat (MSM), sticky and abrasive paste, at 4 °C, without interruptions, on a 24/7 line.

Solution

PCM Hycare™ pump with upstream feeding system, for continuous feeding of the bagging machine, minimizing downtime thanks to its robustness and high abrasion resistance.

Benefits

Continuous flow, guaranteed hygiene (CIP), reduction of losses, easy maintenance, and CE food compliance.
