Petfood Forum 2026: Efficient Pet Food Handling with Chain-Vey

Modern Process Equipment will be exhibiting at Petfood Forum, taking place from April 27th-29th, at the Kansas City Convention Center in Kansas City, Missouri. Petfood Forum is one of the most established events dedicated to pet food manufacturing, bringing together processors, ingredient suppliers, and equipment providers focused on improving production methods and product quality.

Petfood Forum is built around how pet food is actually produced. The conference program focuses on formulation, safety, and processing, while the expo floor gives a clear view of how those ideas translate into production.

Attendees are typically looking for ways to improve throughput, reduce waste, and maintain consistency across batches. That includes better handling of powders, kibbles, meals, and other bulk materials that can be difficult to move without degradation or contamination.

It’s also one of the few events where you can compare different conveying approaches side by side and see how they perform relative to your specific application.

At the show, MPE will be focused on Chain-Vey tubular drag conveying systems and how they apply to pet food production.

Chain-Vey is designed to move materials gently and predictably through a closed system. That matters in pet food, where maintaining product integrity—whether it’s fragile kibble or blended ingredients—is critical to both quality and yield.

At the booth, visitors can expect to discuss:

• Layout flexibility for routing around existing equipment or tight footprints
• How to reduce product breakage during conveying
• Methods for controlling dust and maintaining a sealed system
• Clean-in-place options for facilities managing multiple formulations
