Pet food Screener
Pet food screening is another application that the Gentle Roll handles extremely well. When the kibbles pass through the Gentle Roll, they are tumbled and cause fines that would be created in the bag to be removed. This buffing effect helps to eliminate fines from being created due to handling. When a customer opens up a bag of dog food or cat food, they do not want to see fines in the bottom, and that is why the Gentle Roll
is the right choice for screening. The unit pictured was built for a pet food manufacturer and is used to sift, scalp, and separate dog and cat food. This unit was built without hoppers or legs as the customer was going to build their own hoppers and suspend the unit with cables. Suspending the unit is easy because there is no vibrating or shaking parts to the screener. The Valve assembly and Sidewinder Conveyor have also been used extensively in conjunction with many Gentle Rolls in the pet food industry.
