Packaging Machines for Pet Food

Universal Pack designs and builds stick pack and sachet packaging machines and cartoning lines for pet food industry. We design specific solutions with any dosing system, depending on the composition of the products.

Firstly, auger and basculating are the right option for both free-flowing and non free-flowing powders. Secondly,  we designed gravimetric and flowmeter for the dosage of liquid pet food. To conclude, we can provide our versatile piston pump dosers for low- and high-viscosity products and pet food with particles.

Our internal laboratory analyzes every product and laminate, to design and build the best solution for your need. After several internal tests and a thorough design review, we can manufacture your customized machine.

Which formats are suitable for packaging pet food?

Our machines and lines are specifically-dedicated to single-dose packages like stick packs and sachets. For example, we can dose from 0,1 up to 100 gr of pet food in powder and from 0,1 up to 100 ml of liquids in a single pack, whose dimensions vary depending on your marketing goals, nature of the products and production requirements.

In packaging lines for cartoning, our systems allow you to put from 1 up to 100 or more sachets or stick packs in the same carton. We have developed patented counting units for any amount of packages to be picked and put into cartons. In recent years, our philosophy is to save as much material and product as possible, both for economic and environmental sustainability.

Universal Pack pet food packaging machines can process all typical heat-sealable composite films, for example: PAP-PE (paper – polyethene); PAP-ALU-PE (paper – aluminum – polyethylene); PET-ALU-PE (polyethene terephthalate – aluminium – polyethene) and cold sealable materials. Our machines can also package sustainable laminates such as PP (polypropylene), PLA (polylactic acid), PAP (paper), Bio-PE (bio-based polyethene), and more on request.
