How the manufacturing of pet biscuit treats works
Ingredient handling
Shick Esteve Bag dump stations provide a safe, dust-free way to manually add dry ingredients.
Liquid ingredients, such as glucose, are temporarily stored in our Shick Esteve Tank systems, or Tote systems, and then delivered through pumps.
Mixing & dough feed
The process begins with a Baker Perkins Horizontal high-speed mixer, designed for efficient, uniform mixing of pet biscuit doughs with various nutritional inclusions. Its shaftless blades accelerate dough development while preserving inclusions. Batch sizes range from 85 to 385 kg, supporting outputs of 2,380 to 5,390 kg/hr.
Alternatively, for specialty or inclusion-heavy doughs, Shaffer Horizontal sigma arm mixers are also available. These mixers provide gentle yet thorough mixing with precise ingredient distribution. Batch sizes range from 600–2,450 kg, depending on the model.
For mid-scale production, the Peerless Pioneer medium duty mixer is a versatile solution fitted with a sigma arm agitator. It combines robust dough handling with efficient mixing, making it well-suited for doughs with inclusions or higher viscosities while ensuring consistent batch quality.
Once mixed, dough is transferred through Baker Perkins Dough feed systems tailored to production needs. These hygienic systems handle both bulk and metered feeds, with options for dough resting and conditioning to ensure consistent quality.
Forming
Pet biscuit dough sheets are formed using the Baker Perkins TruClean™ 590 heavy duty rotary moulder, a heavy-duty machine specifically designed to handle the stiff, abrasive doughs commonly used in pet treat production.
Baking & handling
The Baker Perkins TruBake™ oven ranges bake pet biscuits, each tailored for specific biscuit types and baking requirements.
Baker PerkinsConvection oven ensures even baking for delicate or thinner products.
When required, the Baker Perkins biscuit handling systems efficiently transport biscuits from oven outfeed to wrapping machines. These modular systems have cooling conveyors that can be single or double tier based on the factory layout. They also include servo-controlled channelling boards that guide biscuits into neat lanes. Stacking units prepare biscuits in an upright position for packaging or further processing.
