Rely on Rice Lake Weighing Systems’ pet food processing scales to streamline processes, meet sanitary regulations and provide quality pet foods.
Similar to food for human consumption, pet food is highly regulated and just as susceptible to contamination. To ensure healthy pets and FDA compliance, production equipment must withstand harsh chemicals, intense water pressure and high heat.
Rice Lake’s innovative weighing solutions for pet food manufacturers increase productivity, meet federal sanitation regulations and provide safety at every step. Stainless steel construction ensures heavy-duty scales can withstand intense washdown procedures while maintaining efficient and sanitary operations.
Checkweighers verify that pet food producers consistently meet target container weights, profit margins and customer satisfaction, especially when selling Legal for Trade products. Checkweighing prevents overfilling and underfilling while maximizing efficiency and lowering costs. Rice Lake’s checkweighers can be seamlessly integrated into production lines, are easy to clean and meet HACCP requirements.
MotoWeigh® in-motion checkweighers can be customized to facility layouts, automatically assessing product weights and moving them forward in processing. This process reduces human error while increasing operation efficiency.
Static checkweighers require operators to manually place products on the scale to calculate if the product is over or under the desired weight. Static checkweighers require minimal maintenance, and there is no process control to service.
During pet food manufacturing, various products and ingredients must be weighed. Different bench and floor scale models can feature IP69K load cells and meet HACCP requirements. Engineered to be thoroughly cleaned, Rice Lake’s platform scales withstand strict sanitation procedures and resist corrosion.
Designed to provide traction and avoid load cell overloads, the Benchmark HE-X is accurate and consistent.
Suitable for the toughest environments, this solid steel scale excels even in harsh industrial operations.
The RoughDeck QC-X is constructed with continuous welds, ensuring it remains sanitary during long-term use.
This floor scale provides hands-free access with a pneumatic lifting arm, assuring sanitary work environments.
Accurate weight data is crucial during multiple stages of pet food production. Rice Lake’s indicators are suited for a variety of applications, including washdown environments. IP69 and IP69K ratings ensure electronic components are safe from particles, product buildup, chemicals, high pressure and high temperatures. LED, LCD or graphical displays provide clear visibility to operators regardless of the facility’s lighting.
Ease of use, real-time data collection and rugged, stainless steel construction make the CW-90 Weight Indicator the equipment of choice for operators, quality control and maintenance departments.
The 680 Synergy Plus digital weight indicator was designed for general purpose weighing and straightforward automation in a wide range of applications.
The 380X Synergy Series has a 304 stainless steel enclosure with an IP69K rating, ensuring sensitive electronics are protected from washdown processes in a variety of applications.
Depending on the facility, large amounts of products and ingredients may need to be weighed in a hopper. Rice Lake’s complete load module selection can meet strict requirements for high-temperature, high-pressure, corrosive and Legal for Trade applications. Weigh modules can also be customized to fit the precise requirements of your facility.
Companion animals require various nutritional balances depending on age, breed, health conditions and more. Product formulation and density are important, especially with a high demand for therapeutic pet food options.
Myrias™ enterprise software assists manufacturers in creating the best process management system. Modules such as waste, traceability and batching assist manufacturers with making informed and strategic decisions. Clear, accurate and traceable reports on all materials are supplied to ensure the quality of each product and process.
Rice Lake’s VIRTUlink™ and iQUBE² are accurate, efficient solutions that provide automatic load cell information and scale statuses. The VIRTUlink IoT System analyzes weighing systems across processes to ensure operations run smoothly and downtime is decreased. The iQUBE² digital diagnostic junction box analyzes load cell outputs to verify optimal performance and warn operators of any weight irregularities.
