Pet food food industry production line

Sheet forming and cutting lines for pet foods consist of a series of best-in-class unit machines, offering reliability, durability and low running costs. They are designed to handle the low fat, abrasive doughs used in the pet food industry. Baker Perkins' expertise in roll design and manufacture means that any product shape can be produced. Reliable operation The system consists of a sheeter, gauge rolls and rotary cutter. It uses a proven process to ensure reliable operation, low waste and accurate performance. High quality components and software help maintain trouble-free operation for long periods. Components such as motors and gearboxes all operate well within their design capability.
