Pet Food
Multihead weighing and doypack filling for dry kibble, treats, and wet food.
Overview
India's pet food market is growing rapidly, driven by premiumisation and increased pet ownership. Pet food packaging must preserve freshness, prevent oxidation, and withstand rough handling. Vedvik Machinery's doypack and HFFS systems are well-suited to the variety of formats demanded by this sector.
Challenges
Industry Requirements
Freshness Preservation
Pet food — especially dry kibble — degrades rapidly when exposed to oxygen and moisture. High-barrier films and nitrogen flushing are standard requirements.
Doypack Demand
Premium pet food brands prefer standup doypacks with ziplocks for resealability. PFS and HFFS machines with doypack capability are core to this segment.
Foreign Body Safety
Bone fragments, metal shards, or plastic pieces in pet food pose serious harm. X-ray inspection is increasingly mandatory for retail supply.
Weight Compliance
Pet food is sold by weight across SKUs from 100 g to 10 kg. Multihead weighing with checkweighing ensures declared quantity across all formats.
