Further opportunities for forward thinking vets

Bulk pet cremator in Chile

Another successful veterinary practice has boosted its business opportunities. Expanding their operation to provide an increased range of pet cremation options for pet owners and animal shelters. A clear reflection of the continued increase in demand. The veterinarian practice chose to work with UK Manufacturer Addfield Environmental Systems for the installation of a dedicated mass pet cremation machine.

Generating more than 100 million dollars a year in profits, pet cremation is a growing global business that is not exclusive to individual services. As more veterinarians join the growing number of businesses offering this service the veterinarian/pet crematorium based in Santiago de Chile has become one of the first in South America to expand their service to include mass cremation services, having successfully delivered individual cremation services for many years to customers across the region.

While the majority of pet owners will opt for individual pet cremation, receiving the ashes of their pet back at the end of the process. Not every customer can afford a private service or wants their ashes returned. Additionally, animal shelters and other organisations working with stray and sick animals need a sustainable solution to managing any deceased animals. It is important that pets are managed environmentally and the safest method is cremation. While most pet cremation machines have been designed to deliver an individual cremation to meet demand they have invested in an Addfield A50L mass pet cremator to complement their existing machine.

“This is a perfect example of how the pet cremation industry has evolved. During the past year alone we have delivered the greatest number of large bespoke cremators globally ever. As more veterinarians have begun offering this service directly a need for a secure bulk solution has been created. We are currently working on even larger solutions for a number of customers for installation in the coming months” James Grant Business Development Director.

The A50L is built to cremate up to 400kg per day which is equivalent to several times the output of an individual cremation machine during the same amount of time.

Through being able to cremate many pets at the same time the costs are greatly reduced as well as the mass that needs to be disposed of. Cremation reduces the animal to 3% of clean ashes that can be safely disposed of easily by the crematorium.

Mass cremation is often overlooked in the pet cremation industry however it is just as important for the secure disposal of deceased pets and Addfield who are industry leaders in pet cremation equipment has seen a spike in inquiries in this field recently.
