2-3 T/H Pet Food Production Line In Japan For Dog Cat

Why build a pet feed production line in Japan?

Japan is a major consumer of pet products, and there is a broad market space for pet food, supplies and health care. According to statistics, the scale of Japan's pet market has expanded year by year, and the pet industry has become a major growth point of Japan's economy. Behind this trend, it not only reflects the deep affection of the Japanese for pets, but also highlights the huge potential of the pet economy.

The Japanese pet market has also experienced a transition from a stable growth stage to a mature stage. At the same time, the increasingly serious aging problem in Japan, the shrinking household size, and the continuous decline in birth rate are "coincidental" with the current situation.

This demographic trend change will intensify the increase in demand for pet companionship among different age groups, and at the same time, there will be a consumption upgrade of pet products from a stable growth stage to a mature stage.

Drawing on the development of excellent pet food companies in Japan, it can be seen that when the pet industry enters a mature stage from a stable development period, high-end brands and product differentiation will bring excess profits to the company.

Construction content and scale

The pet food production line in Japan project covers a total area of 3,794 square meters and a total construction area of 3,794 square meters. It mainly includes a production workshop, an inspection room, a material receiving port, a power distribution room and related auxiliary facilities.

The project purchases and installs 87 sets of production and auxiliary equipment. The annual design production capacity is 20,000 tons of pet food. The overall project content is detailed in the table below.

Main production equipment

The complete set of feed equipment configured by RICHI for this pet food production line in Japan project is as follows:

Public works

Water supply

The water used in the project is centrally supplied by the nearby water supply network, and the water quality and quantity can meet the water demand. The water used in the project is mainly domestic water and boiler supplementary water, and the total fresh water consumption is 1.5m3/d (450m3/a).

Boiler supplementary water: The boiler of this pet food production line in Japan project discharges water regularly, so fresh water needs to be supplemented regularly. The supplementary water volume is 1m³/d, and the supplementary fresh water volume is 1m3/d (300m³/a).

Drainage

The drainage of the project adopts the rainwater and sewage diversion system, and the rainwater is collected separately and discharged. The boiler drainage of the project is used for the living water of employees and is not discharged. The wastewater of the project is mainly domestic sewage.

The amount of domestic sewage generated is calculated as 80% of the water consumption, and the amount of domestic sewage generated is 1.2m3/d. The amount of domestic sewage generated is small and the water quality is simple. It can be used for spraying and dust suppression in the factory area and is not discharged.

Heating and cooling

This pet food production line in Japan project uses air conditioning for office and living heating in winter. The heat used in the production process is provided by the local heating network.

A new 6t/h natural gas boiler is built as a backup. When the heating network of the Tianjin Plate Park cannot meet the production needs, the 6t/h natural gas boiler will provide heating for production.

Power supply

The power supply of the project is connected to the nearby power grid. Two 400KVA transformers are set up in the factory area. The power and voltage can meet the power demand of this project.

What is the prospect of developing a pet food production line in Japan?

‌The prospect of developing a pet food production line in Japan is relatively optimistic, but it is necessary to pay attention to market trends and competitive environment.

Market prospects

The Japanese pet industry is relatively mature, with a large and stable market size, and consumers' demand for pet products is becoming increasingly diversified and personalized.

In addition, changes in Japan's population trends (aging and low birth rate) have intensified the demand for pet companionship, which has provided growth momentum for the pet feed market.

Industry Status

• Market Size:
• Japan's pet food market is large and stable. In 2005, pet food shipments reached 800,000 tons, with a market size of 246.83 billion yen.
• Consumption Trend:
• As consumers pay more attention to pet health, the consumption upgrade of pet products is obvious, and high-end and differentiated products are more popular.
• Competitive Landscape:
• Foreign-funded enterprises dominate the Japanese pet food market, but with the reduction of tariffs and the appreciation of the yen, foreign-funded enterprises quickly entered and occupied more than half of the market share.

Potential Challenges and Countermeasures

• Market Competition:
• The Japanese pet feed market is highly competitive, and foreign brands dominate. Domestic companies need to improve their competitiveness through high-end brands and product differentiation.
• Consumer Demand:
• Pay attention to consumers' demand for pet health and nutrition, and develop high-end and differentiated products that meet market demand.
• Regulatory Compliance:
• Understand and comply with Japan's pet food management regulations to ensure product quality and safety.

In summary, the Japanese pet food market has good prospects, but competition is fierce. Companies need to pay attention to changes in market demand and improve product quality and service levels in order to gain a foothold in the fiercely competitive market.
