Challenges in Feed & Pet Food Handling
Contamination Control
Feed and pet food producers need equipment that minimises cross-contamination. Guttridge offers easy-clean designs, from the stainless steel FLO line with polished finishes and removable panels, to chain conveyors with self-cleaning drive and tail ends.
Product Quality
Fragile materials such as pellets and flakes require gentle handling. Guttridge systems are designed for controlled flow and low-speed operation, with options like the Kleenbelt enclosed belt conveyor providing smooth transfer and minimal product damage.
Reliability
With throughputs from 100tph to over 1200tph, Guttridge machinery delivers consistent performance for farms, feed mills, and large-scale pet food plants. Heavy-duty construction ensures long service life and reduced downtime.
Dust & ATEX
Dust control and operator safety are critical in feed and pet food plants. Guttridge conveyors are available in dust-tight designs and can be supplied with ATEX-rated internal and external compliance to meet industry safety standards.
