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.
Easy to clean and maintain
TruClean™ hygiene standards ensure minimum debris accumulation and maximum effectiveness of cleaning. Features include good access, few and easily removed guards, and easy dismantling for cleaning without tools.
Easy to use
A robust, stable and highly visible process controlled by a PLC with local touch screen interfaces makes it simple for operators to run the plant. Clear and intuitive touch screen HMIs include indication and setting of all the main running adjustments.
Precise weight control
Low-deflection solid gauge rolls with pre-loaded bearings mounted in rigid frames guarantee precise weight control over many years. The control system also makes a significant contribution through accurate speed control of each unit, and a sophisticated cascade system that maintains a smooth flow of dough along the line.
