Wet Pet Food:
Automation serving industrial performance and food safety.
The pet food industry faces increasing demands in terms of throughput, flexibility, and reliability.
At MCA Process, we support manufacturers from the filler discharge stage through to palletizing, automating the autoclave environment and all downstream operations.
Our solutions are designed for continuous 24/7 operation, ensuring efficient, reliable, and fully controlled production.
Process reliability
Robust solutions designed to handle pouches, trays, and cans before and after sterilization. Our equipment ensures high throughput, repeatability, and resistance to demanding production environments.
Multi-flavor packaging
Our solutions integrate temporary post-sterilization storage systems, enabling product mixing and assortment management on your packaging lines.
TRACEABILITY & SUPERVISION
Systems integrating batch and flow tracking, with full traceability before and after sterilization. Production data is centralized and accessible via ERP or MES systems.
Our expertise
From retort tray loading and unloading to drying and palletizing, we design production lines built for continuous 24/7 operation. Our objective is to enhance process reliability, protect product integrity, and guarantee consistent quality for four-legged consumers.
JAR BASKET LOADING / UNLOADING
MCA Process designs automated can loading and unloading lines.
These systems provide gentle product handling and precise positioning in baskets or on conveyors, at both the inlet and outlet of sterilization processes.
We guarantee robust, hygienic, and customized solutions that can be integrated into your existing lines.
RETORT TRAY LOADING AND UNLOADING
Optimize the handling of your pouches, trays, and racks with our robotic solutions. Our custom-designed systems adapt to your products, throughput requirements, and plant layout constraints while reducing manual handling and repetitive operations.
Process automation
MCA Process designs fully automated loading and unloading solutions for retorts using motorized shuttle systems. These systems ensure continuous, hygienic, and secure handling of racks or baskets between loading/unloading stations and retorts, fully synchronized with your pasteurization or sterilization cycles.
Each project is custom-designed based on your layout, throughput requirements and the type of retorts used. The shuttles are automatically controlled via our software or interfaced with your existing supervision system.
Drying
At the retort outlet, packaging often retains moisture, which can compromise downstream packaging operations such as labeling, case packing, and palletizing.
Our drying solutions efficiently remove residual water from pouches and trays, ensuring clean, dry, and compliant packaging.
Integrated directly after tray unloading or can unloading operations, our systems adapt to your formats, production rates, and plant layout constraints.
End of line
From cartoning to palletizing, our ergonomic and high-performance solutions optimize every stage of your end-of-line operations.
We streamline handling and packaging operations to enhance operator ergonomics while ensuring maximum productivity and consistent quality.
