Investigating the status of export & import of canned pet food Seamerco research
As the first manufacturer of canned dog and cat food production lines in Iran, Simerco Industrial Group has had the honor of launching 7 projects in Iran and one project in Sulaymaniyah (Iraq) to produce pet food.
In this production line, the necessary infrastructure has been seen to produce various canned foods such as natural, paté, chunk and cat ice cream. Given the wide variety of products in this space, the production line provided by Simerco has provided the necessary facilities for manufacturers to produce various products with special formulations.
The meat cooking process in this production line takes place in 2 stages. The first stage takes place in a cooking pot and with water steam, which softens the meat texture and prepares it for the packaging process, and the second stage is carried out in fully automatic autoclaves on the final sealed can. The cans are placed in the autoclave for 45 minutes under a pressure of 1.2 atmospheres and a temperature of 121 degrees Celsius. In this way, final cooking and sterilization are carried out on them.

The fish is delivered to the production line frozen, so the first step is defrosting, which is usually done in defrost tanks.
After the fish is removed from the defrosting section, parts such as the fins, tail, and gills are removed with a saw, and the fish is cut into smaller pieces.
The meat is delivered to the production line frozen, so the first step is defrosting, which is usually done in defrost tanks.
After cutting the meat pieces and final washing, the washed pieces are arranged on the trolley tray of the cooking pot, the trolley is placed on the rail and enters the cooking pot. The cooking pot uses water steam to perform the initial cooking evenly on the meat.
This section is used to add ingredients such as peas, rice, grains, and carrot pieces. The cans pass on a table conveyor belt in front of operators positioned on either side of the machine, and the operator adds the desired ingredients to the cans.
The empty cans are removed from the pallet by the operator and placed on the traffic tray. With each rotation, the rotating tray, with the help of the centrifugal force it creates, guides the cans to the side of the machine. The cans are removed from an outlet located on one side of the traffic tray and placed on the conveyor belt of the next machine.
The cans must be sterilized before filling, by using nozzles to force steam into the cans. Finally, the cans are dry and ready to be filled.
This machine is used to fill pastes and high-density products (such as paté) into cans. The filling machine accurately pours the paste into the can based on the desired weight.

To remove the remaining air on the surface of the product inside the can, by passing the filled cans under the steam nozzles, the surface and internal temperature of the can increases, causing expansion and the air to escape from the can. If water vapor remains inside the can after the capping and cooling process in the autoclave, the water vapor turns into droplets and creates a vacuum.
The filled cans are transported by a conveyor belt into the capping machine. When the sensor detects the can entering, a cap is placed on the rail and the can is guided by a screw on the pedal. At the same time, the can cap is placed on the body and when the pedal of the machine is raised, the can and the can cap are exposed to the first and second action sewing rollers and the can is finally sealed.
Since the outer walls of the cans may become dirty during the salting and oiling stage, after the lid is sealed, the cans are washed again with hot water in this machine.
At the end of the process, the sealed cans are placed in an autoclave. This serves two purposes: the first is to finalize the contents of the can and the second is to sterilize it. If the autoclave is performed correctly, the product inside the cans will last for up to 24 months without the need for preservatives.
This machine applies product labels to cans. The label is placed on a roll on the labeler, the sensor issues a command to start the operation when the product arrives, and the machine applies the label to the can by rotating it. Finally, the label is cut by a cutter and the paper behind the label is removed from the cycle.
A jet printer is used to print production information, including the product’s manufacturing code in the factory, production date, expiration date, and product price. As the can is placed on the conveyor belt and passes under the nozzle, the jet printer detects its presence and automatically prints the desired information.
The cans are arranged by the operator on cardboard or short-edge plastic in multiples (12 or 16). Then, they are guided into the shrink pack by a front jack and wrapped in nylon. Inside the tunnel, the heat generated by the element forms the nylon and packs the cans.
SEAMERCO Industrial Group had the honor of participating in the launch of 170 domestic and 37 foreign factories so far.

Frequently asked questions about Canned Pet Food production line
As explained above, the machinery of the canned pet food production line consists of four parts: preparation, production, packaging, and facilities, depending on the type of product (pouch, pate, chunk, cat ice cream) and the daily production capacity. Its machines are selected.
As these issues have already been mentioned, some things should be considered for this purpose, some of which are:
Supply and demand of the product, easy access to raw materials, access to the sales and consumption market, and considering the production costs in proportion to the initial investment are all important in determining the type of manufactured product.
Several points should be considered regarding the factory’s location for setting up canned pet food. First, the factory’s location is either close to the source of raw materials or to the consumer market, as long as you have a plot of land or a shed. The fact that you are the owner and do not pay for the purchase of the property or rent cannot be the criterion for determining the factory’s location.
One of the services of Seamerco Industrial Group for customers who make this request is to provide factory design and implementation of construction parts, equipment, and machinery needed in the production line by the standards of the National Standards Organization and the product production process, which for this It means that the software related to civil and industrial design is used and provides a simulated image in 3D form to the customer before the implementation of the factory.
A capacity that, in addition to justifying fixed and current costs, can introduce your product in the market.
