Shredded Pet Food Line

‘Increasing Line Efficiency.’ Dennis Group assisted Nestlé Purina to increase efficiency and improve throughput on their production lines for shredded protein, used in both cat and dog food. This included engineering for a new dye system.

Other unit operations included hammer mills, pneumatic conveying, extruders and retorts. 3D modeling was used to assist with NPE and plant reviews. Detailed drawings issued for construction were released to Nestlé Purina for execution. Line improvements were first implemented in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. Upon successful implementation, similar changes were made to the production lines in Atlanta, Georgia.
