Pet food, Brazil apparently the second largest market

The love of Brazilians for their pets has helped this industry become the second largest in the world. Since 1983 Mavi has been the nr. 1 screens supplier for pet food companies, and recently delivered another set of special vibratory screeners.

These machines are designed for the separation of fines from the extruded pet food, for cats and dogs, sometimes horses and fish.

For Total Alimentos, one of the largest petfood producers, these units were delivered March 2014.

For more on vibratory screens from Mavi please have a look at 

Velopen Screeners

The larger unit delivered is a Velopen 1.400 x 4.500 mm perforated plates screen deck, in order to separate fines a and agglomerates, sizing the proper dimensions for posterior packing.
Driven by 2 large A-40-8 Vimot heavy drives, 875 vpm, 4 HP each.  These vibrators now come with a security device, not permitting them to run in the same direction, which could damage the equipment.
