Visiting Food Ingredients Europe to future-proof your pet food plant?Your visitor pass is on Agriflex.
Instead of a standard walk through the exhibition aisles, book a dedicated 30-minute technical session at Stand #41P9 with Agriflex project engineers.
We provide an official Free Visitor Pass to Food Ingredients Europe 2026 in Frankfurt and sit down with you to review your plant's raw material storage, pneumatic conveying, micro-dosing accuracy, and recipe changeover bottlenecks.
1:1 Technical Session & Free Visitor Pass
Reserved for pet food plant directors, engineering managers, process engineers, and formulation specialists.
The 3 Process Bottlenecks We Tackle at Stand #41P9
Direct, practical engineering discussions with our specialists. We analyze the bulk powder handling and micro-dosing challenges that dictate your operating costs and line uptime.
Micro-Ingredient Giveaway and Overdosing
Vitamins, taurine, amino acids, and active nutraceuticals cost between €30 and €120/kg. To prevent any risk of falling below label claims, plants routinely overdose by 2% to 4%. Across annual production volumes, this represents tens of thousands of euros in pure giveaway.
Agriflex gravimetric loss-in-weight micro-dosing systems with certified load cells and continuous tare verification. Gram-accurate dispensing directly synchronized with recipe automation, eliminating human error and formulation giveaway.
Cross-Contamination Across Single-Protein Recipes
Surging demand for mono-protein formulas (pure salmon, pure lamb) and grain-free diets creates severe operational bottlenecks. Recipe changeovers often require hours of line downtime to manually clean conveyance pipes, hoppers, and weighers to avoid cross-species protein carryover.
Closed-circuit pneumatic conveying lines engineered for total evacuation, with sanitary diverter valves, self-cleaning pulse-jet filters, and smooth-bore stainless steel piping designed for rapid sanitization.
Animal Meal Bridging and Caking in Storage Silos
Meat meals, poultry by-products, and protein hydrolysates are inherently warm, fatty, and hygroscopic. In standard metal silos, they cake and form internal bridges that starve the extruder inlet and cause costly line stoppages.
Antistatic, breathable Trevira technical fabric silos combined with 3D fluid-cone vibrating bin dischargers. Fabric walls allow continuous natural breathing without moisture build-up, maintaining uniform mass flow into the preconditioner.
Tailor-MadeEngineering
Bulk raw material storage, pneumatic conveying, and micro-dosing systems engineered in Italy since 1975.
For 50 years, Agriflex has designed, manufactured, and installed turnkey industrial systems for raw ingredient storage, pneumatic conveyance, precision dosing, and process automation across the food and pet food industries.
Operating across two Italian production hubs—our headquarters in Forlì with over 12,000 m² dedicated to engineering, assembly, and testing, and our specialized facility in Riva del Po focused on certified stainless steel fabrication—Agriflex builds fully integrated lines adapted to each factory footprint.
For pet food manufacturers producing dry extruded kibble, wet pet food, and functional treats, Agriflex engineers automated systems capable of handling critical raw materials with certified accuracy: bulk animal meals, hygroscopic powders, active micro-nutrients, heated fats, and liquid palatants—in full compliance with European MOCA and ATEX directives.
FIORENTINIFOOD PROCESSING
We present one of our flagship turnkey installations engineered for the plant of Fiorentini Alimentari Spa in the province of Turin. A benchmark example of raw material conveying and dosing automation, from bulk indoor storage to precision delivery into high-speed mixing lines. Supervised by our proprietary machinery management software, the installation enables continuous monitoring of production cycles, ingredient consumption, and giveaway reduction within a fully automated robotic ecosystem.
