In the booming trend of pet economy, a visible trend is the increasing demand for "exquisite feeding" from pet owners. Pet food is no longer just about filling the stomach, but also a healthy, convenient, and emotional expression. In this feast of consumer upgrading, small cup pet food is becoming a rising star in the market, and the SKP-2 Two Lanes Filling Sealing Machine specially designed by SUNYI has become a powerful lever to leverage this blue ocean.
When the market calls for small, exquisite, and single serving pet food, traditional filling equipment has exposed many pain points:
Insufficient accuracy: Small cup capacity (commonly 30-150g), traditional equipment filling accuracy is difficult to meet the requirements, which can easily lead to overweight (increased cost) or underweight (consumer dissatisfaction).
Efficiency limitations: Single row or low-speed design makes it difficult to meet the increasing production demand for small cup products, resulting in significant production bottlenecks.
Poor adaptability: When replacing small cups of different specifications, adjusting them is cumbersome and time-consuming, making it difficult to meet the flexible production needs of small batches and multiple varieties.
Stability is questionable: Faced with light, thin, and irregular small cup containers, traditional equipment filling is prone to problems such as splashing, cup tipping, and poor sealing, which affect quality and yield.
The SKP-2 Two Lanes Filling Sealing Machine is designed to address the aforementioned pain points and bring a qualitative leap to the production of small cup pet food
1. Double row parallel, doubled efficiency: The two column synchronous filling design significantly increases production capacity compared to single column equipment, easily meeting the large-scale and fast-paced production needs of small cup products.
2. Micron level accuracy, grammage calculation: Using high-precision servo control system and precision metering pump, even when facing small filling volumes (as low as a few grams), it can achieve industry-leading accuracy of ± 1%, significantly reducing cost waste and ensuring sufficient portions.
3. Intelligent and flexible, easy to switch: Modular design, combined with a user-friendly interface, allows for quick and easy switching of cup types and specifications, completing the conversion within 15 minutes, perfectly adapting to the flexible production trend of multi flavor, multi specification, and small batch in the small cup market.
4. Stable compatibility, cup fitting: Optimized linear conveying and clamping system ensures that light, thin, and small cups remain stable and do not fall over during high-speed operation; The specially designed filling head effectively prevents splashing, ensures the cleanliness of the cup mouth, and lays the foundation for high-quality sealing in the future.
Small cup pet food equipped with SKP-2 brings multiple values to brands and consumers:
Consumer preference:
○ Ultimate convenience: single serving, ready to eat/mix upon opening, no weighing or storage required, suitable for fast-paced life.
○ Precise feeding: Control intake, especially suitable for small dogs and cats, weight loss period or pets that require precise nutrition management.
○ Freshness upgrade: Small portions reduce storage time after opening the lid, better locking in flavor and nutrition.
○ Scenario expansion: Easily enter various categories such as snacks, wet food, fresh food, nutritional supplements, topping companions, etc.
○ Marketing tool: Small sizes are excellent trial, promotional, and combination loading bodies, effectively attracting new customers.
○ Flexible response: Quickly respond to market hotspots, conduct small-scale trial production of new products, and reduce risks.
The era of "small" pet food is unstoppable, and advanced filling equipment such as SKP-2 will be the key to winning the future:
Refinement and humanization continue to deepen: the status of "furry children" is equivalent to that of family members, and providing them with convenient, refined, and personalized feeding plans is a rigid demand, with small cup sizes being an important carrier.
The outbreak of wet and fresh food markets: With the trend of pursuing health and palatability, the growth rate of wet and fresh food far exceeds that of dry food. This type of product is particularly suitable for small cup packaging, with extremely high requirements for the accuracy, hygiene, and stability of filling equipment, highlighting the advantages of SKP-2.
The sinking and diversification of its economy: With the increase in market penetration and diversification of pet owners, there is a growing demand for cost-effective small portion products that require efficient equipment to support large-scale production and reduce costs.
Flexible manufacturing has become the core competitiveness: rapidly changing consumer demands require production lines to have strong flexibility. The rapid changeover capability of SKP-2 is the cornerstone for meeting the needs of customized production for multiple varieties and small batches.
Automation and intelligent upgrading: The increase in labor costs and quality requirements drive the filling process towards higher levels of automation (such as automatic cup loading, online weighing, and automatic removal) and intelligence (data monitoring, predictive maintenance). The SKP-2 platform provides a solid foundation for this.
The SKP-2 Two Lanes Filling Sealing Machine is not only an efficient, precise, and flexible production tool, but also a strategic pivot for pet food enterprises to embrace the "small" era and lay out the future. It solves the core pain point of small cup production and unleashes the huge market potential of small packaging.
