Powerful Beehive series. The Beehive S 20<br />
(behind) combined with the Weiler® BPF 40.<br />
pet food industry. Current trends are<br />
contributing to the continuous expansion<br />
of this spectrum. Provisur® specialists are<br />
now experiencing how market trends<br />
from the food industry are reaching into<br />
the pet food segment. Peter Berkensträter<br />
explains: "Many pet owners treat their pets<br />
like a fully-fledged member of the family.<br />
We hear from our customers that this also<br />
has an impact on choice of food, and that<br />
aspects similar to those at play in human<br />
nutrition are becoming increasingly<br />
important in pet food." In short, pet<br />
owners are becoming better informed<br />
about the health of their four-legged<br />
family members, knowing that food can<br />
have a direct impact. As a result, they are<br />
increasingly looking for higher quality,<br />
as well as more natural and healthier<br />
ingredients. This leads to a willingness to<br />
pay a higher price for pet food - and thus<br />
to the growth of the premium segment.<br />
"Sustainability concerns such as reduced<br />
meat consumption also have an influence<br />
on the purchasing behavior of pet owners<br />
and therefore on the pet food market.<br />
Provisur® is currently working intensively<br />
on sustainable solutions to open up new<br />
sources of low-cost raw materials for the<br />
pet food industry. For example, added<br />
vegetables or new sources of protein such<br />
as insects or larvae. The industry can look<br />
forward to news from our research and<br />
development efforts," promises Olivier<br />

Servo Motors Increase Flexibility<br />
of Coperion K-Tron Feeders<br />
Anuga FoodTec<br />
After over half a century of supplying<br />
feeding equipment using mainly direct<br />
current (DC) motors, Coperion K-Tron<br />
is entering a new era. All new Coperion<br />
K-Tron feeders will be supplied with<br />
servo motors. Servo motors are capable<br />
of tremendous turndown (up to 2000:1<br />
RPM) without overheating or loss of<br />
torque. As a result, it will no longer be<br />
necessary to offer multiple gearboxes<br />
to cover the full feed range of a feeder,<br />
making the implementation of a single<br />
feeder configuration more flexible in its<br />
application. In addition, thanks to the high<br />
resolution of our SFT weighing technology<br />
we can supply excellent feeding accuracy<br />
across the full feed rate range. In loss-inweight<br />
feeding applications, servo motors<br />
offer an additional advantage due to<br />
their smaller size and lighter weight. This<br />
reduction in feeder weight results in an<br />
increase of the scale weighing range.<br />
