Pouching and Cartoning Solutions for Wet and Dry Pet Food and Treats

Bartelt Packaging provides best-in-class pouch equipment solutions that are perfect for packaging dry or wet pet food or treats in pouches, as well as shrink wrapping canned food items.

The IM Poucher, equipped with one or more auger fillers, is an ideal choice for smaller 3- or 4-side seal pouches, making it well-suited for powdered pet supplements or small bags of pet treats. This versatile machine also supports stand-up pouches and can operate in either simplex or duplex mode.

For higher precision applications like pet treats or dental chews, the BRS-Series and RPM horizontal form fill seal (HFFS) machines offer maximum flexibility through pre-programmed recipe settings. These features allow for repeatable and reliable product and size changeovers at speeds of up to 100 cycles per minute.

Additionally, the MAG Series machines utilize the latest magnetic linear technology and independently controlled double pouch clamps. These systems enable format changes at the press of a button, significantly reducing changeover time between simplex and duplex operations. The MAG Series offers both rollstock and pre‑made pouch capabilities, and also incorporates a stainless-steel open‑frame design with servo‑driven functionality.

For larger pouch sizes and heavier fill weights, Bartelt is the North American master distributor of Umbra Packaging's large-format bagging solutions. Umbra specializes in automated filling, sealing, and handling of large bags from 2–20 kg (40–50 lb), with the precision and control needed for powders, granular materials, and dusty products. Their machines deliver dependable throughput and exceptional sealing accuracy.

Bartelt is also the North American master distributor of FLtècnics who offers a series of machines with outstanding production performance for packaging a variety of pet food pouch sizes and styles, including gusseted and stand-up pouches with optional zippers. Depending on the required volume and production rates, they provide simplex, duplex, triplex, and quadruplex options capable of filling liquid dog supplements or flavor enhancers. Their technology also supports manufactured pouches with top or corner spouts using a single applicator, allowing for diverse presentations like flat, stand-up, or shaped pouches.
