Now that we have a brief idea with the preparation equipment, let’s go to the next step of food processing i.e. mechanical processing operations which also has a numerous unit operations such as grinding/crushing, cutting and forming.

CUTTING / SLICING / CHOPPING

These operations are very widely applied in the food industry. For example, they are used in the processing of meat, fish, cheese, vegetables, fruits, potatoes, and various crops (sugar beet) a large variety of equipment for cutting, slicing, chopping, mincing and pulping is available, normally adapted to the product to be processed. Equipment can be power- or hand-operated, depending on the size of the operations.

  • SLICING MACHINES
  • KNIVES / BLADES
  • MEAT GRINDERS
  • BAND SAWS

SIZE ENLARGEMENT

The term “size enlargement” includes a number of processes that purposely combine small particles into large permanent masses in which the initial primary units are still identifiable. Applications in food processing are surprisingly numerous and are becoming increasingly important as more “structured” foods are developed. Size enlargement operations are used in the process industries with different aims such as improving handling and Flowability, reducing dusting or material losses, producing structural useful forms, enhancing appearance, etc.

HOMOGENIZATION/ EMULSIFICATIONS

The average particle size is reduced and consistency of semi-solid and liquid food matter is increased.

EMULSIFIERS

  • Automalic lid operation
  • Drum can be swivelled by motor
  • Discharge height according to your requirements
  • EasyClean drain valve flush with the drum wall
  • Automatic loading possibility
  • Cutter head
  • Cover/wall piper
  • Hygienic seals can be replaced without disassembling the motor or gear
  • Temperature control equipment
  • Direct Steam Injection
  • Integrated vacuum pump
  • Dosing devices
  • Cooling equipment

HOMOGENIZER

The Homogenizer handles high-pressure homogenization of emulsions and suspensions. It is ideal for both high and low viscous as well as aseptic and non-aspetic products including pasteurized milk, UHT milk, cream, yoghurt, condensed milk, ice cream mix, fruit juices, RNGS (rice, nut, grain or soy) beverages, concentrates, purées, tomato products, dressings, ketchups, liquid egg, mayonnaise, sauces and gravies. It is also available as a high-pressure pump – ideal for feeding a spray dryer when producing powder for example.
