Concetti, Bastia Umbra, Italy, points out that the European dry pet food market is a sophisticated and highly competitive one, with a wide and constantly expanding range of packaging formats, especially at plants supplying own-label products to other brand owners. A single line must be capable, Concetti suggests, not only of managing the widest possible range but also be future proofed with the ability to adapt to new bag weights, types and sizes according to changing market demands.  

 

The company is now able to offer lines capable of handling any pack weight between 0.3 – 5kg or 1.5 – 20kg, using open mouth bags made from paper, coated woven polypropylene, PE and aluminium foil, with and without handles or closable zip and with easy opening features. All bag sizes, within the limits of the machine, can be handled giving the maximum opportunity to exploit almost every sector of the dry pet food market. Bags can be heat sealed or sewn closed as required. In addition to pre-made bags, the line has a form-fill-seal capability and can produce bags from low-cost continuous reels of tubular PE film, giving the user the possibility of long production runs without the need to constantly replenishing the bag magazine. www.concetti.com
