Pet food is one of the fastest-growing sectors of the food industry, with ever-higher quality standards and highly efficient production processes.
From kibble to mixes with functional treats and complementary ingredients, Libra offers solutions designed to ensure dosing precision, maximum productivity and rigorous quality control, keeping the food we give our pets safe.
Key challenges
High production speeds
Production lines need weighing and packaging systems that sustain high performance without compromising precision and reliability
Complex blends
Kibble, functional treats, inclusions and other ingredients must be dosed precisely, keeping the recipe composition consistent
Reducing giveaway
Accurate weight control reduces waste and optimises production costs, even on large volumes
Granular products of different sizes
Different formats and piece sizes call for highly flexible, accurate systems
Maximum food safety
Contaminants and foreign bodies are a particularly critical risk: animals cannot recognise or avoid potentially dangerous foreign materials in their food
Operational continuity
Large-scale production needs reliable plants designed to keep line downtime to a minimum
