Pet Food Processing washing Equipment

With tighter safety requirements instituted by the FDA, it is more important than ever to have repeatable and consistent cleaning standards in your tote bin washers. Manual washing can be tiring and cumbersome, which leads to inconsistent results and safety concerns over time. Nevertheless, Better Engineering can solve most safety and inconsistency challenges by replacing manual washing procedures and outdated pet food processing equipment with automatic bin wash systems.

Moreover, Better Engineering’s data recording and traceability software allow customers to capture production data and validate operational actions. Our tote bins washers offer the highest quality levels with trackable and repeatable results that remain consistent over time.

Finally, Pet food manufacturers trust Better Engineering with their sanitization and washing needs because our automated pet food processing washing equipment maximize productivity, reduce water usage, reduce chemical consumption, and remove manual labor costs by eliminating the need for regular hand washing. All while promoting sustainability within your company.

HEAVY-DUTY COMMERCIAL Sanitizing Washers

Get peace of mind in knowing that your items are clean and free from any hazards.

Our furry little friends deserve high-quality food, just like their owners. As such, pet food manufacturers know that pet food processing demands the same cleanliness as the food and beverage industry. With pet food varieties spanning many different mediums, producing a large variety of products without the risk of cross-contamination is essential; therefore, implementing a robust cleanliness program that focuses on sanitizing plastic containers plays a vital role in preventing bacteria and pathogen cross-contamination.
