4-5T/H Pet Food Manufacturing Plant in Australia

Construction content and construction scale

This pet food manufacturing plant in Australia project covers an area of 6660m2, mainly constructing production workshops, offices, raw material warehouses, and finished product warehouses are located inside the production workshops.

This project mainly constructs a production workshop with a construction area of 4432 square meters. The raw material warehouse and finished product warehouse are located in the west of the workshop, and the production area and packaging area are located in the east of the workshop.

Production equipment

The main production equipment of this pet food processing plant in Australia project is shown in the table below.

Raw and auxiliary materials

The raw and auxiliary materials of the pet food manufacturing plant in Australia project are shown in the table below.

Design of pet food processing process

1. Pour the raw and auxiliary materials into the hopper, and then send them to the impurity cleaning screen through the conveying screw, and then put the powder into the batching bin after screening;
2. According to the requirements of the formula, the raw and auxiliary materials are automatically weighed in proportion through the batching screw and then enter the mixer. After mixing and stirring evenly, they are conveyed to the permanent magnetic cylinder through the spiral screw, and enter the waiting bin after removing iron impurities;
3. Then they are crushed by the crusher and passed the powder inspection screen and then enter the mixer again. Then the material after mixing evenly enters the pet feed puffing machine and puffs into granular pet feed;
4. Then they are dried in the drying box, and then enter the vibrating screen for screening. The qualified feed enters the spraying machine;
5. Spray the grease and meat slurry on its surface, and after spraying, they are conveyed to the mixer through the conveying screw for full mixing;
6. After cooling to room temperature, they enter the mixer, and the mixed feed enters the vibrating screen through the distributor for screening and enters the finished product bin, and then is packaged by the packaging scale to become the finished product.

Environmental protection measures

Since Australia implements very strict environmental protection standards, we have configured the following environmental protection equipment and measures for this pet food manufacturing plant in Australia project based on customer needs and local emission standards:

Water balance

Water supply

The water used in this pet food manufacturing plant in Australia project is provided by the nearby pipeline network, and the water quality and quantity can meet the water demand of this project.

The heating tank of this project uses steam, which is provided by the nearby power plant; the water used mainly includes expansion water, equipment cleaning water and domestic water.

The fresh water consumption of the project is 8.2m3/d. Among them: expansion water: the water required for the expansion process of the project is 6m3/d; equipment cleaning water: the water consumption for equipment cleaning of the project is 0.4m3/d.

Drainage

All the expansion water of the pet food manufacturing plant in Australia project enters the product, and no wastewater is generated; the equipment cleaning wastewater is directly used in production and is not discharged; the project wastewater is mainly domestic sewage.

And the amount of domestic sewage generated is calculated based on 80% of the water consumption, so the amount of domestic sewage generated is 1.76m3/d (528m3/a). The sewage is pre-treated in the septic tank and then discharged into the sewage treatment plant through the municipal sewage pipeline network for deep treatment.

How to build a pet food manufacturing plant in Australia?

‌Establishing a pet feed production line requires following a series of principles and steps to ensure efficient operation and optimize production efficiency.

Basic principles for establishing a pet food manufacturing plant in Australia

• ‌Shortest distance principle‌: The material flow distance between work sections and processes should be as short as possible, such as using conveyor belts to reduce the material movement distance‌.
• ‌Smoothness principle‌: Materials flow in a certain direction between work sections and processes to avoid back and forth or return‌.
• ‌Fixed sequence principle‌: The processing object flows according to the pre-established flowchart and cannot be changed arbitrarily‌.
• ‌Economic output principle‌: Achieving a certain economic output, it is economical to set up an assembly line‌.
• ‌Balance principle‌: The processes should be balanced to achieve a smooth and natural effect‌.
• ‌Zero failure principle of machinery and equipment‌: Any failure of any machinery and equipment will affect the entire production line, and equipment maintenance should be done at ordinary times‌.
• ‌Employee comfort principle‌: Lighting, ventilation, and temperature should be moderate, and noise, heat, dust, and vibration should be isolated‌. ‌Appropriate space principle‌: Spare parts and finished products should be moved quickly, and semi-finished products should not be hoarded during the production process‌.
• ‌Flexibility principle‌: The pet food plant should be flexible and able to adapt to different product production needs‌.

Specific steps for establishing a pet food manufacturing plant in Australia

• ‌Design a reasonable production plan‌: Ensure that the production plan is reasonable, consider the production capacity of the pet feed mill, the difference between mass production and small batch production, and adjust the production plan in time‌.
• ‌Adopt advanced production equipment‌: Select pet food manufacturing equipment with stable performance and reasonable configuration, and perform regular maintenance‌.
• ‌Establish an efficient logistics management system‌: Design a reasonable logistics process, select appropriate logistics means, build a complete information system, and achieve seamless connection between logistics and production lines‌.
• ‌Production line status assessment‌: Investigate the production status, including process flow, actual number of operators, daily output, etc.
• ‌Lean production management‌: Analyze the process, select key processes for lean production line establishment, draw a value stream map, promote it to all product lines, and continuously improve‌.
• ‌Layout planning‌: Follow the principles of process optimization, space utilization maximization, safety assurance, environmental friendliness, communication coordination and flexibility for layout planning‌.
• ‌Production line data analysis‌: By measuring the operation production cycle and production rhythm, optimize the production process and reduce the gap between cycle time and rhythm time‌.
• ‌Optimized layout mode‌: Adopt strategies such as circular operation flow and unified logistics channels to avoid isolated and birdcage layouts, and adopt petal-type collaborative layout, "one flow" lean layout and "U"-shaped efficient layout.

By following these principles and steps, an efficient, flexible and market-adaptive pet food production line can be established.
