Pendulum bucket conveyor, multihead weigher, SVC260, inspection unit and case packer

Pet Food Packaging System

A complete line for dry pet food, planned around the package you sell: our pendulum bucket conveyors feed a weigher and an SVC260, VP or VGT bagger, or a Wide-Spout pouch filler.

The line, left to right: pendulum bucket conveyor, multihead weigher, SVC260, inspection, case packing.

Free line planning

A layout drawing, an equipment list and a capacity calculation for your line.

Rated on good output

Line output is set by the slowest stage, not by one machine's top speed.

FAT before shipping

The line is accepted against criteria agreed in advance.

The Line

Our conveyors and packaging machines form the line; the modules around them are integrated for your product and output.

Highlighted: our machines. The other modules are integrated around them, and responsibility for each module and interface is agreed in writing.

From Machine Speed to Line Output

A line is rated on the packs it delivers, so we work down from one machine's maximum to the output the whole line can sustain.

Conveyor supplykg/h = m³/h × Bulk densityLine demandkg/h = Good packs per hour × Pack weight

The capacity calculation is part of free line planning. The final target is set from product tests and agreed FAT conditions.

Plan Your Line
  1. 01

    Machine maximum

    The top speed of one machine, such as 160 bags/min on the SVC260.

  2. 02

    Application speed

    What the machine sustains with your product and package.

  3. 03

    System rated output

    What the whole line sustains, set by its slowest stage.

  4. 04

    Sustainable good output

    Accepted finished packs per hour, confirmed at FAT.

Interfaces Agreed in Writing

Before you order, every connection in the line is defined, so each module fits the next.

01

Product and package

Product condition, size, bulk density and fill weight; the bag, pouch or film; coding and labels.

02

Capacity

Good output, kg/h at each stage, and cases and pallets per hour.

03

Mechanical

Infeed and outfeed heights, conveyor direction, footprint and service access.

04

Electrical

Power supply, hand-off points, start, stop and fault signals, and emergency stops.

05

Controls

Which controller leads, how modules signal each other, and how faults are reset.

06

Responsibility

Who supplies and who is responsible for each module and each interface.

Testing and FAT

Where the application is uncertain, your product is tested first, free of charge. Before FAT, the product, package, configuration and acceptance criteria are written down.

Agreed before FAT

  • Package

  • Line configuration

  • Acceptance criteria

What FAT records

  • Accepted finished packs per hour

  • Stops, listed by cause

  • Open items, and who closes them

  • Final acceptance decision

FAQ

Questions buyers ask before planning a line.

Ask an engineer

No. 160 bags/min is the SVC260's machine maximum. The line output is set by its slowest stage, often conveying or weighing, and confirmed at FAT.

Our pendulum bucket conveyors and packaging machines form the line. Weighing, inspection, case packing and palletizing are integrated around them, and responsibility for each module and interface is agreed in writing.

With product tests where the application is uncertain, and at FAT against acceptance criteria agreed before the test.

Yes. Your product, package, output and floor space can change the final configuration. Line planning is free: a layout drawing, an equipment list and a capacity calculation.

It depends on the contract and is agreed before you sign. Our engineers can install and commission the line at your site at your cost, or guide your team remotely free of charge.

Plan Your Line

Send your product, package, target output and floor space. We plan the line with you: a layout drawing, an equipment list and a capacity calculation, free of charge.
