Mr. Dai Baogui was invited to deliver a keynote speech titled Flexible Construction of Pet Food Factories, presenting China’s intelligent pet food engineering solutions to global peers.

Keynote Highlights | Addressing the Flexibility Challenge for Modern Pet Food Factories

The pet food industry has moved beyond the era of single large-scale production. Rapid product iteration — including extruded crispy kibble, fresh-steamed pet food, puffed treats, filled kibble, high-meat formulas and baked pet food — sets unprecedented requirements for production line compatibility, quick process switching and sanitary design.

As General Manager Dai pointed out in his speech:

“A flexible factory is not merely a simple combination of equipment. It requires systematic coordination covering plant planning, process routes, core machinery, control systems and sanitary zoning. It enables flexible production of diversified products while upholding pet food safety standards, and supports stable mass production of complex formulas such as high-fresh-meat recipes.”
