Market
Pet Food
The United States pet food industry demonstrates rising market expansion along with shifting consumer preferences. People increasingly want premium and natural pet foods that fulfill individual animal requirements while demanding social and environmental responsibility.
Manufacturers now expand their production capabilities while adding new products to their portfolio to fulfill the increasing market demand. The demand for expansion necessitates either constructing new plants or updating existing facilities both inside the U.S. and abroad.
Clauger supports pet food production facilities by creating customized solutions that fulfill each operation’s unique needs as well as address contemporary environmental needs.
How Clauger Helps Pet Food Producers
Clauger provides comprehensive support that considers all necessary factors.
- Energy Production & Recovery
We optimize energy usage for production by recovering and repurposing waste heat and other byproducts, reducing overall energy consumption. - Process Air Management
In mixing, extrusion, and other production areas, we focus on airflow control, ventilation, dust removal, and limiting airborne contamination risks. - Emission & Environmental Compliance
Our team helps facilities achieve environmental regulations and discharge limits for air and water emissions to minimize their impact on the environment.
A team of specialists from Clauger works together with plant personnel to develop site-specific solutions for each area.
Our Commitments
Ensuring every pet food product meets the highest quality and safety standards.
Minimize manufacturers’ environmental footprint through efficiency measures and decarbonization strategies.
Work closely with local communities to maintain a respectful, mutually beneficial relationship between industrial sites and their neighbors.
Odor Management
Pet food production facilities produce odors that affect nearby communities. As awareness grows around social impacts, manufacturers increasingly integrate “good neighbor” practices alongside regulatory compliance.
Drawing on extensive experience with odor control and monitoring systems, Clauger has developed solutions that allow pet food producers to keep local operations running without causing harm to surrounding communities. Our offerings include:
-
Odor Emission Treatments
Reduce or neutralize odors to meet regulatory requirements. -
Energy or Byproduct Recovery
Convert odor-causing emissions into usable energy or byproducts when applicable. -
Community Mediation
The Expoll by Clauger platform enables us to maintain open communication with neighbors and facilitate positive community relations.
Energy Efficiency & Decarbonization
Many U.S. manufacturing sites are pursuing strategies to reduce environmental impact—such as energy, water, and carbon reduction plans. Clauger has been a long-standing partner in guiding facilities through these sustainability transitions.
Our team conducts thorough assessments to analyze the complete energy operations of a site.
- Energy Audits
Identify all potential energy savings or recovery opportunities within the plant. - Action Plans & Prioritization
Our team works with site stakeholders to establish ranked improvement projects that we then execute in the field. - Performance Guarantees & Financing
We offer an energy performance commitment, considering both capital and operational costs (CAPEX and OPEX). Where needed, we can also assist with financing to avoid straining the plant’s investment capacity.
Process Air Control
Quality control of process air is essential in pet food manufacturing. The top priority is ensuring the safety and integrity of the final product:
Product Safety
Clauger’s expertise helps maintain stable temperature and humidity conditions, along with proper airflow, to reduce the risk of contamination.
Employee Comfort & Compliance
Our specialists in dust removal and industrial ventilation design solutions that protect personnel and equipment, keeping facilities aligned with safety standards and regulations.
From initial concept through day-to-day operations, Clauger provides end-to-end support for air treatment systems that meet the exact needs of each production site.
