Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pet food production and processing technology, and in particular to an automatic filling and sealing device for pet food. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the pet industry, the market demand for pet food continues to grow, and the requirements for its production efficiency and quality are also increasing. In the pet food production process, filling and sealing are key links to ensure product airtightness and extend shelf life, which directly affect the product's storage stability and market competitiveness.

[0003] Currently, existing pet food filling and sealing equipment still has many shortcomings in practical applications: some equipment does not mix pet food raw materials sufficiently, which can easily lead to sedimentation and stratification of raw materials in different forms such as granules and pastes, affecting the uniformity of filling volume; the limiting mechanism has poor adaptability and is difficult to be compatible with different packaging containers, requiring frequent adjustments or replacements of parts when changing containers, which reduces production efficiency; and most equipment lacks coordination in the filling, sealing and conveying stages, which can easily lead to raw material spillage or incomplete sealing due to container positioning deviations. Therefore, developing an automatic filling and sealing device that can achieve uniform mixing of raw materials, adapt to multiple container sizes and achieve high efficiency in coordination among all stages has become an urgent problem to be solved in the pet food production field.
