Layout and Market Logic
System planning changes with utilities, materials, QC, and export route
Layout Zones
- Ingredient receiving
- Grinding and batching
- Mixing and extrusion
- Drying and coating
- Cooling and metal detection
- Packing and finished goods
Utility Requirements
- Electric power
- Steam or thermal oil
- Compressed air
- Water and drainage
- Odor and dust management
Market Planning Notes
- Hot and humid markets need stronger moisture control, drying reserve, packaging barrier selection, and warehouse ventilation.
- Import-oriented projects need label, COA, packing list, batch record, and shelf-life documentation prepared from the start.
- Private-label factories should reserve process flexibility for several formulas, kibble sizes, and pack formats instead of one fixed SKU.
