Dosage fystem: key to quality and safety in food manufacturing
In pet food, aquafeed, and animal feed manufacturing, the dosage process is a key pillar to ensure that the final product is of high quality. That's why, together with our partner Jesma, we present this article with all the information you need to know.
Precise and controlled dosing not only ensures that each production batch meets nutritional and formulation requirements but also prevents overdosing, which can be highly detrimental to animal health and costly for manufacturers.
In addition to precision and control, factors like safety and cross-contamination prevention are essential in modern dosing systems.
Having a system that minimizes dust dispersion not only improves the work environment but also reduces the risk of explosions, a critical aspect of industrial safety. Regarding cross-contamination, adding an incorrect product to formulations can lead to severe health issues in animals.
Benefits of intelligent dosing systems
Advances in dosing technology have enabled the implementation of intelligent systems that offer multiple benefits, including:
- Superior precision and control: Ensure the exact proportions of ingredients are integrated into each batch, reducing variations in product quality.
- High flexibility: Easily adapt to formulation changes, optimizing production for different nutritional requirements or market demands.
- Advanced automation: Minimize manual intervention, reducing labor costs while improving consistency and minimizing human error.
- Food safety and cross-contamination prevention: Designed to operate under strict food safety measures, these systems eliminate cross-contamination risks between batches, ensuring product integrity.
- Low maintenance: Modern technology incorporates durable materials and simplified designs that require minimal maintenance, reducing downtime and operational costs.
- Operational reliability: Designed for optimal performance, these systems ensure continuous operation, even in high-demand environments.
Key factors in selecting a dosing system
When choosing a dosing system for a pet food, aquafeed, or livestock feed plant, it is important to consider:
- Compatibility with the existing production line.
- Capability to handle challenging ingredients such as fine powders, viscous liquids, or micro-ingredients, many of which have poor flowability.
- Compliance with local and international food safety regulations.
- Energy efficiency and operational sustainability.
- Scalability to accommodate future plant growth.
Implementing state-of-the-art dosing technologies not only enhances the quality of the final product but also optimizes operational profitability, positioning manufacturers as leaders in a highly competitive industry.
