Packaging and cutting line for the pet food industry
ASM has created an automated cutting system for animal health products in the PACA region, which is easy to use and completely secure. The product, collected directly from the screw extruder, is continuously fed until it is packaged.
Easy Operation and Complete Production Automation
The operator simply adjusts the edge spacing to match the width of the product to be cut, then sets the cutting length stop and positions the product between the edges before sliding it under the pressure roller and starting the cutting cycle via the control box. Once the cycle is started, production is fully automated, from retrieving the extruded products to packaging them in various sized bags.
Key components of the cutting line
- The operating section consists of a motorized conveyor belt with adjustable edges and a pressure roller to press and move the product
- A pneumatic guillotine cutter with a side press ensures a clean cut.
- The discharge is carried out by a radial discharge cylinder with an adjustable cutting length stop and a detection sensor.
ASM has designed and installed over 300 production machines. Here are a few examples of projects that might interest you:
