All American Pet (AAPT) has announced the purchase of its own forming machine, which has an expanded capacity.
According to the US-based company, the machine's new hopper will shorten batch to batch down-time which was experienced by it with the previous unit.
The machine, which is integral to the NutraBar and Chewies manufacturing process, is also expected to increase volume through-put while assuring larger batch consistency.
The unit frees time needed to increase Chewies production off of the extruder while its extra capacity produces more bars.
AAPT president Lisa Bershan, commenting on the new product, said, "We are asked how will our bar production capacity keep pace with the ever increasing retail demand for NutraBars and Chewies -- the response is by maximizing our capital investments in processing and packaging equipment."
The company produces, markets and sells wellness products under proprietary brand names specifically for dogs.
