Our Process

From First Call to a Running Pet Food Line

A 30-minute call

About what is already running on your floor. We listen before we recommend anything.

A free on-site visit

Anywhere in North America when a visit is worth the trip. We watch your current line run, measure the space, and ask where the catalog is heading.

Factory acceptance testing

On your real product before the machine ships, so a treat that bridges in a hopper shows up on our floor instead of yours.
No pet food packaging equipment gets ordered until you approve the plan.

Questions

Everything you need to know before automating your packaging line.

What packaging equipment does PLAN IT Packaging offer for pet food and pet care products?

PLAN IT Packaging provides automated packaging equipment for pet food and other pet care products, including dry kibble, treats, chews, and granular products. Solutions can include multihead and linear weighers, VFFS packaging machines, counting and filling systems, inspection equipment, case packing, and palletizing. The appropriate system depends on factors such as product size and density, target package weight, bag format, production speed, and SKU variety. PLAN IT can help manufacturers build packaging automation around their specific products and production requirements.

Can PLAN IT Packaging automate a complete pet food packaging line?

Yes. PLAN IT Packaging can integrate weighing or counting, bagging, inspection, case packing, and palletizing into a coordinated pet food packaging system. A typical dry pet food application may combine a multihead weigher with a VFFS packaging machine before moving packaged bags through inspection, automated case packing, and palletizing. Connecting these processes can reduce manual handling and support higher throughput. PLAN IT evaluates the full packaging workflow, including product feeding, package sizes, production volume, changeovers, and end-of-line requirements.

What pet food packaging challenges can PLAN IT Packaging help solve?

Pet food manufacturers often manage products with varying sizes, shapes, densities, and weights, along with multiple bag sizes and SKUs. PLAN IT considers these factors when selecting equipment for accurate weighing, product flow, changeovers, and throughput. For example, PLAN IT recently demonstrated high-speed dog treat packaging using a MarsRapid VFFS bagger and EliteWeigh multihead weigher. See the dog treat packaging system in action.

How does PLAN IT Packaging support pet food packaging equipment after installation?

Pet food production often relies on continuous, high-volume packaging operations, making equipment reliability and responsive service important to maintaining production schedules. PLAN IT Packaging provides technical support, preventative maintenance, and spare parts for automated packaging equipment. Planned maintenance can help manufacturers identify service requirements before they lead to extended downtime, while keeping critical replacement parts available can support faster repairs. PLAN IT provides North American support to help manufacturers maintain equipment reliability throughout the life of their packaging systems. Lear more here
