The Situation
For over 40 years, ZuPreem has understood that the single most important influence on an animal’s health is nutrition. Many of their products in the past were blended and packaged offsite by contract packing firms. This was not only costly, but their production and timing were out of their control. Then they elected to bring this ingredient batching system in-house.

How We Customized These Systems
Rather than one-size-fits-all systems, we took ZuPreem’s challenge and build out a custom solution.
The Outcome
The system meters the materials volumetrically via vibratory feeders (with 100/1 turndown or percentage of batch control) onto the cleated belt conveyor according to the recipe that has been selected. Products are “mixed” proportionally by layering onto the belt, then up to a distribution/mixing head above the bagging line.
