Pet Food Grinding J-Six Enterprises
Fairview Mills is also aware that it is more economical to transport and store pet food in bags rather than bulk products. Fairview Mills is one the many J-Six Enterprises divisions. We have the infrastructure to handle your bulk, loose pet food ingredients, and then bag them to your specifications. This makes it easier to move your products across the product line, from raw product to ready for use. For example, send us whole corn. We will unload it and mill it. Then, we'll package it in the way you want. Now your raw corn is ready for the next stage in the pet food industry.
THE FAIRVIEW MILLS TREATMENT
Packaging pet food ingredients in bags or tins is a decision that must be made. Our pet food ingredient packaging system includes running every pet food product through our lab to determine its moisture level, nutrient break down, and other metrics. After that, we vigorously sift the ingredients, to eliminate as much chaff or dust as possible. This process will improve the quality of pet food ingredients and ensure that your fifty-pound bag is completely filled with your product, not with chaff or dust. It will make it easier to track inventory accurately when you know that a 50-pound bag of corn Gluten is actually fifty pounds.
