PET Food Processing - September 2019 - 33

FEATURE EVENT

CMB750 mixer with a capacity of 750 lbs. per batch with
an average of four batches per hour. Cozzini is a brand of
Middleby Processing and Packaging. The CMB750 mixer will combine the ground meat with other ingredients,
both dry and in liquid form. The aggressive paddle configuration of the Cozzini mixer reduces mix time and
discharges the batch rapidly so the next blend can be
started. Production capacity is dependent on the blend
cycle time, but a typical blend cycle is 15 minutes or four
blends per hour, which would offer a capacity of 3,000
lbs. per hour for the CMB750 Mixer. Other models in
this series provide capacities up to 20,000 lbs. per batch.
Each batch will discharge to a Handtmann VF800
vacuum filler with a Handtmann RC600 rotary cutting
device. The Handtmann rotary cutting system continuously produces stable pellet-shaped portions. It connects directly to servo-driven flow dividers and sheeting
nozzles and operates with wire and cutting blade options
to handle a wide variety of recipes for kibble, bites and
treats. The Handtmann vacuum filler delivers gramsensitive portioning with an advanced auger system
and optimized feed system geometry for gentle product
handling. The VF800 combined with the Handtmann
Rotary Cutting System continuously produces up to
1440 cuts per minute in configurations up to 24 lanes in
sizes up to 19mm in diameter.
The pet food line demonstrations are scheduled for
10:15 a.m., 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. Oct. 8 to 10; and at
10 a.m. on Oct. 11. These demonstrations will take place
in booth 4324 on the PROCESS EXPO show floor.

Pet food making its mark

This biennial expo offers multiple opportunities for
pet food processors to discover new processing technologies for their operations. Approximately 200 of the
more than 500 exhibitors are currently serving the pet
food industry. Jared Koerten of Euromonitor will present "Premiumization in Pet Care: An Evolving Industry
Trend" on Oct. 9 at 1 p.m., a 2.5-day FSMA Preventive
Controls for Animal Food course begins Oct. 7, plus an
additional 50 educational courses are available to attendees during the show.
A year ago, FPSA launched its Pet Food Council
and already it is the largest of the association's industry councils, thanks to the growth of the market and
the tremendous opportunity that FPSA members see in
this segment.
Other live production line demonstrations during
PROCESS EXPO include a sliced cheese line, a sliced
pepperoni line, a frozen pizza line and a ground beef
patty line.
