Pet Food Ingredient Distribution J-Six Enterprises
Fairview Mills understands that it is often less expensive to store and transport pet food or pet food ingredients in bags as opposed to loose, bulk products. Fairview Mills, one of the J-Six Enterprises Divisions, has the infrastructure and capability to transload bulk pet food ingredients in loose containers and bag them according your requirements. It's much easier to move your products from raw material to ready-to-use pet foods. For example, send us whole corn. Our team will load it, mill it, then package it according to your specifications. The raw corn can now be used for the next step of the pet food processing process.
THE FAIRVIEW MILLS TREATMENT
You want to ensure that your pet food ingredients are packaged in bags or totes. To ensure that your pet food ingredients are properly packaged, we run each product through our analytics laboratory to check for moisture, nutrients, and other metrics. To remove as much dust and chaff from your ingredients as possible, we then vigorously sift them. This process improves the quality of your pet foods ingredients. However, it also ensures that fifty-pound bags are filled with your product. Being able to trust that the fifty-pound bag containing corn gluten is full of corn gluten will allow you to better track your inventory.
