PROCESSOR PROFILE
Phelps' quality control team performs water
activity tests on the finished products to
test for moisture content, as anything outside
specified parameters could jeopardize
the quality and shelf life of the treats.
as enough room to handle anticipated
future growth capacity. Building
from the ground up would take extra
time, so Phelps considered finding
an existing structure to occupy
instead. The company found what it
was looking for in Janesville, Wis.
" We were fortunate to find a
building in close proximity (about
a 30-minute drive) to our existing
Rockford campus, " Ruffolo said. " We
partnered with one of the most reputable
landlords and general contractors
in the area to build out an existing
four-wall facility. This enabled us to
fully customize the flooring, drain system
and underground piping before it
was constructed. This also gave us the
opportunity to create the equipment/
process flow from start-to-finish as if
on a blank sheet of paper. "

UNLEASH THE
POWER OF PROTEIN
WITH HILMAR PROTELYZE™
PET
Hilmar Protelyze Pet helps elevate canine health to a new level with a
complete protein profi le. Scientifi c studies on senior dogs prove that our
proprietary whey protein formulation outperforms pea protein isolate in
every measure that matters. Dogs absorb it faster, had higher activity
levels, lower infl ammation and maintained a leaner body mass and higher
lean-to-fat ratio. Plus, exceptional heat stability and solubility make Hilmar
Protelyze Pet easy to incorporate into pet food and treat applications.

from scratch without having to construct
the building from the ground
up allowed the company to get the
best of both worlds - a custombuilt
processing operation without
the time commitment and hassles
of new construction. It also allowed
Phelps to incorporate extra space for
future capacity.
" We intentionally made it bigger
than we needed, " Ruffolo added.
The design layout was created with
the intention of having ingredients
and raw materials enter from one
side of the building, then have product
flow through the plant in a linear
fashion as it goes through each stage
of production. After raw materials are
converted to finished goods and are
packaged, those products will eventually
exit out the other side of the
building. This linear design is critical
for food safety, Ruffolo explained.
In an effort to anticipate future
needs at the plant, special flooring
