Forming & Portioning — VEMAG’s Core Strength

The diversity of pet treats starts with precise forming. VEMAG’s forming systems are designed to handle a wide range of recipes and textures:

-   Cut-Off Devices: Efficient cutting system for meat sticks and bars with clean, uniform ends.

-   Multi-Lane ExtrusionSimultaneous production of multiple product lines, increasing output while maintaining consistency.

-   Bar-Shape FormersBuilt for high-volume production of wet or semi-moist treats.

-   Ball Formers: Fast production of meatballs or round-shaped snacks with perfect shape.

-   Pet Food SheeterFor sheeted snacks such as biscuits or meat slices.

 

Pre- and Post-Processing — H-Plus Integration

H-Plus provides a range of imported equipment to complement forming and enhance texture:

1.   Sairem microwave/radio frequency thawing – Fast thawing while preserving nutrition and moisture.

2.   scansteel foodtech grinders, mixers, emulsifiers – Ensuring even blending and improved mouthfeel.

3.   holac dicers and Grasselli slicers – For pre-cutting raw materials before forming.


Enhancing Functionality and Flavor — From VETEC

For functional and flavor-rich treats, fermentation is increasingly used in recipes — such as fermented jerky and probiotic-enriched snacks. These products require strict control over environmental stability. VETEC fermentation rooms provide precise temperature, humidity, and airflow management to ensure consistent flavor and texture, while integrating smoothly with downstream drying or baking processes to form a complete production chain.

 

Packaging & Hygiene — Ready for the Market

A treat’s final packaging must be both attractive and functional:

-   Variovac thermoformers and tray sealers – Supporting vacuum and MAP packaging to extend shelf life.

-   Dibo high-pressure cleaning systems – Maintaining strict hygiene standards and food safety compliance.

 

The pet treat market is becoming a key battleground for brand differentiation. H-Plus and VEMAG offer more than just individual machines—they deliver fully integrated solutions covering raw material processing, forming, and packaging. Whether for innovative product development or high-volume production, we help you turn concepts into market-ready products quickly and efficiently.
