High-Speed VFFS Dog Food Packaging Machine Solution with Gusseted Bags for Premium Pet Food
1. Customer Overview
Customer Logo:
Company Profile & Location: Premium Pet Food Manufacturer (Overseas Market)
2. The Challenge
The customer is a leading pet food manufacturer specializing in extruded dry kibble (particle sizes 6mm–18mm) in various shapes, including meat-inclusion chunks. When expanding their product line into 1.5kg to 5kg retail-ready packages, they faced critical operational bottlenecks on their legacy line:
Product Characteristics:
Material Property: Irregular dry kibble with surface oil coating (chicken fat/fish oil) for enhanced palatability.
Bulk Density: 650–750 g/L with shape variations across SKUs.
Fragility: Freeze-dried meat inclusions prone to degradation and breakage.
Packaging Requirements:
Bag Style: Stand-up gusseted pillow pouch (Gusseted Bag).
Bag Dimensions: Width 180–250mm, Length 250–380mm.
Fill Weight: 1.5kg / 2.5kg / 5kg.
Target Speed: 25–35 bags/min.
Weighing Accuracy: ±1%.
Sealing System: Servo-driven film pulling with independent jaw temperature control.
Coding System: Hot stamp / Inkjet printer.
Control System: PLC + HMI Touchscreen with multi-recipe memory.
Key Packaging Pain Points:
Inaccurate Volumetric Weighing: Old volumetric cup fillers yielded up to ±20g weight deviations, causing severe giveaway and compliance risks.
Seal Contamination & Leaks: Surface oil transferred to the sealing zone during dropping, causing weak seals and a high 3–4% package rejection rate.
Poor Bag Aesthetics: Lack of precise film tension and side gusset forming resulted in wrinkled pouches unsuitable for premium retail displays.
Frequent Maintenance Downtime: Oil accumulation required repetitive manual cleaning, drastically reducing OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness).
3. The Vicanpack Solution
To solve these challenges, Vicanpack supplied the LD-720AS Automatic VFFS Pet Food Packaging Machine, integrated with a 2-head 12L linear weighing system and dedicated gusset-forming mechanism.
A. High-Precision Linear Weighing System (2-Head 12L): Dual independent load cells dynamically measure bulk kibble flow. The gentle vibration mechanism minimizes damage to freeze-dried meat pieces compared to traditional multi-head weighers.
B. Oil-Resistant Servo Sealing System: Independent jaw temperature control precisely seals laminated barrier films (PET/PE, OPP/CPP) through oil residue. The servo-driven film transport system ensures exact film tension and registration.
C. Premium Side-Gusset Bag Formation: Custom side-gusseting attachments produce crisp, upright pouches with optimal shelf presence, wide graphic display panels, and high structural integrity for 5kg heavy-duty bags.
D. Dust Control & Hygienic Design: Enclosed feeding hoppers retain dust, while 304 Stainless Steel food-grade contact parts allow rapid cleaning protocols between production batches.
4. Customer Testimonial
"The LD-720AS VFFS dog food packaging machine transformed our operations. We reduced product giveaway by nearly 30% and completely eliminated seal leaks during transit. The finished gusseted bags look premium on store shelves. Vicanpack’s team delivered outstanding installation and ongoing technical support."
