Cutting Solutions
Castor & Pollux credits new packaging formats, such as pouches and
trays, for helping to drive the growth of the wet cat food category in
pet specialty retail stores.

Urschel offers a wide variety of dicers, slicers,
shredders, and milling equipment to support the
needs of different processors. That's why leading
pet food processors rely on us for cutting
solutions for all types of products.

Castor & Pollux

than just the consumer; alternative packaging formats can
be more convenient for processors as well. "You can buy one
machine and do different multi-packs, flavors and sizes. It's a
matter of changing your film and adjusting your machine to
run various sizes and flavors," Duncan says.

Contact Urschel for a free-of-charge test cut of
your application. Test cutting facilities offer free
demonstrations of Urschel cutting equipment
to determine the model best-suited for
your application.

Delivering food safety
Alternatives to cans still accomplish the goal of preserving the integrity of the product. Pettyan says cartons keep
Caru's stews fresh without preservatives and he believes deliver a better taste. "Pets can simply enjoy the savory flavor
of these homestyle, truly human-grade foods without any
metallic aftertaste," he notes.
Immega, too, says that cartons work well for quality
purposes. "In addition to being a more sustainable packaging option, the use of Tetra Pak cartons offers Petcurean a
number of additional benefits in terms of recipe formulation, including smaller batch production, better ingredient
selection and the use of cutting edge equipment to produce
innovative textures including shredded, minced and pâté
recipes in addition to stews," she remarks.
All of this is not to say that the can is going the way of the
black and white television or buggy whip. Canned pet foods
remain a staple on store shelves and on e-commerce sites.
Metal cans, which date back more than a century, have good
barrier properties for long product shelf life and are easy to
store and stack.
"I don't know if it's a total shift away from cans or
if it's a growing pet food market. Businesses seem to be
staying the same in cans, while companies are also adding
can lines - they are trying to find ways to grow by putting
new products out there. A cup format is a way to do that,"
Stauffer suggests.
