Extracting sugar from beets became popular in continental Europe during the Napoleonic Wars due to the British blockades of cane sugar. This is thanks to the high sugar content derived from this crop. Also known by its scientific name, "beta vulgaris", The beets’ popularity steadily rose afterwards and today, 20% of all sugar in the world comes from beets. But all of this can't be possible without its seeds. The production and processing of sugar beet seeds includes different steps such as cleaning, priming, pelleting and coating.

Chia seeds have ancient origins and are native to Central America, where they have been consumed for centuries. The chia plant, scientifically known as Salvia hispanica, is a member of the mint family and is native to regions of Mexico and Guatemala. After harvesting the seeds must be thoroughly cleaned and then dried. The sieving process comes next and is important to remove any further impurities. Full of dietary fiber chia seeds make a great addition to smoothies and breakfast puddings.

Hemp, as a plant, can be used to produce textiles, organic compost, fuel, and even food. The main processes of the hemp seed are sieving, grading, and dehulling or removal of the shell that covers the seeds. For these processes to happen, hemp farmers will need suitable processing equipment. These seeds can be used to create an oil with a by-product known as hemp cake or hemp meal. This by-product is used as a base substance for producing hemp protein powder. It is due to these by-products that the hemp industry is constantly growing globally.

Seed Processing Holland offers threshing, extraction, drying, priming, germination, cleaning, pelleting, film coating, weighing and packing machines for all types of flower seeds, vegetable seeds and field crop seeds.

High capacity depending on the specific weight of the seed (Approx. 400-900 kg/h)

Adjustable inclination of the deck (lengthwise –crosswise)

Adjustable functions (air pressure and shaking movement)

Easy interchangeable deck cover material

Multiple outlets for more separation using dividing plates

In large-scale production, separating quality seeds from empty seeds and other debris - such as stones and soil - requires a high-capacity separator. The separator must effectively collect quality seeds based on the seeds’ specific weight. This method allows the separation of empty seeds, as they are lighter in weight and the separation of stones on the heavier side.


<h2>Separating seeds from debris according to weight</h2>
The CGM-4600 Seed Gravity Separator from Seed Processing Holland is a system that separates seeds and other debris according to weight, using gravity. The seeds are fed into the hopper and then go to the feeder, which controls the number of products going to the deck. The deck is inclined and supplied with air underneath to make the seeds hover a little while shaking it. The shaking movement allows the lighter seeds to separate from the heavier ones.

The system has a total of seven outlets and is provided with three dividing plates for the user to decide how many separations are needed. The deck comes standard covered with a cotton cloth and has the option to easily change it for a different cover material such as stainless-steel mesh. Other adjustments in the system include deck inclination, shaking movement, and air pressure.

Industrial separation equipment encapsulates the separation process which is to separate components of a liquid mixture, for recovering dissolved solids from liquids. The choice of a suitable technology depends on the identification of the key physical or chemical property, such as size, mass, density, or boiling point, which sets the product of interest apart from the rest of the components. Separation technology is widely used in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries for the isolation of active ingredients and high-purity chemicals. As well as in waste management and recycling industries.

Separation

Sieving machines are available in various designs such as linear sieves, tumbler sieves, and vibrating sieves each employing a different sieving action. The choice of a suitable sieving machine depends on the desired particle size distribution, required amplitude and frequency of vibrations, and the physical state of the mixture. Sieving machines are used for removing dust from granular products and for grading grains. They are also used for the classification of granular material and the separation of solids from a slurry mix in the food processing industries.

Our food chain starts in the soil, growing crops and livestock. But between the fields and the stores, there is a line of industrial food processing equipment. Processes may be as minimalistic as cleaning fruit and as complex as homogenizing milk alternatives made from pressed legumes. In each case, processing technology is an important link in the food production chain.

Whether for personal consumption or agricultural purposes, you process seeds to make them clean and maximize yield. Seed processing equipment includes the steps of polishing, threshing, separation, sorting, and drying. Some cases require additional processes. For example, the extraction of the seed from fruits or vegetables. Or, pressing the seed to extract oil.

It’s essential to dry moist seeds before you process and store them. Seeds with too high or too low moisture content are more likely to get damaged during processing, resulting in reduced viability and the formation of mold. However, seeds can also be damaged by over-drying or drying too quickly. To ensure the perfect seed moisture content, it’s important to use a dryer that allows you to control the air volume, relative humidity, and air temperature.


<h2>Increase the viability and vigor of seeds</h2>
Manufactured by Seed Processing Holland, the conditioned seed dryer dries commercial seed lots in a controlled and structured way to meet the highest quality standards. It’s ideal for drying a wide variety of seeds, including primed seeds, film-coated seeds, disinfected seeds, seed pellets, and extracted seeds, such as pepper, cucumber, tomato, and melon.

The unit is designed with a technical room that houses all the process equipment, and an insulated drying room. The drying room features two insulated windows in the door and two lighting fixtures to give operators a clear view of the entire process. It’s also fitted with energy-efficient circulation ventilators, creating a powerful internal airflow that releases moisture from the seeds.

Moreover, the dryer uses the condensation principle, whereas the heat pump evaporates moisture from the seeds with the energy that is released from the drying process. This makes the entire process incredibly cost- and energy-efficient.

Lastly, the unit has a capacity of 10 kg to 150 kg of seeds, depending on the crop type and moisture content, and a maximum capacity of 1 million pellets, depending on adhesives, humidity percentage, and pellet variety.

Drying cabinets consist of an enclosed chamber where products to be dried are placed on stainless steel trays. These drying systems reduce the relativity humidity allowing the moisture to evaporate quickly. Cabinet dryers are widely used for reducing the moisture content of sensitive products.

Drying Cabinets

Industrial drying machines are designed to remove moisture from your product. But the drying process must cater to variations in the state of matter and molecular structure of the input material. Industrial dryer technology exploits the modes of heat transfer (convection, conduction, radiation, evaporative cooling) to control the moisture content.

Cannabinoids are natural compounds obtained from the Cannabis sativa plant. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or THC is a psychotropic substance. Cannabidiol, or CBD, is non-psychotropic and often used for nutraceutical purposes. Cannabinoid equipment extracts THC and CBD from the plant and prepares the substance for formulations that treat pain, nausea, anxiety, and inflammations. Cannabinoids are processed in various forms, including creams, capsules, and oils.

It’s essential to disinfect seeds to eliminate bacterial infections and to protect them from these infections in storage or during early growth. Along with crop protection, proper seed disinfection can also lead to increased germination rates and root development. If the seed is under-treated or over-treated, it can cause bacterial infections and negatively affect seed health. That’s why it’s important to use a machine that properly disinfects seeds.


<h2>Eliminate bacterial infections with the seed disinfection unit</h2>
Innovatively designed by Seed Processing Holland, this seed disinfection unit can be used to treat seeds in several liquid solutions to prevent bacterial infections and seed-borne diseases. Since it’s mostly constructed with synthetic materials, it’s resistant against a lot of chemicals and won’t be permanently damaged when in contact with chemicals.

Industrial cleaning equipment is used to wash or disinfect machinery and the production/warehouse area. It may also be used to sterilize the product, equipment, tools, floor or work surfaces and to purify or clean the product by removing impurities. Choosing a suitable cleaning system depends on the type of product or equipment to be cleaned, the sensitivity of the product to heat, pressure, and chemicals, and the level of sterility desired.

Industrial disinfection equipment use antimicrobial agents to destroy microorganisms found on machines, floors, walls, and other surfaces. In industry, disinfection of machinery and the production area is important to prevent product contamination which may lead to spoilage and health hazards for workers and the consumer. The choice of industrial cleaning equipment depends on the level of disinfection needed, the sanitizing agent, the size of the area or objects to be treated, and the suitable method of treatment such as sterilization, pasteurization, exposure to ultraviolet light, or chemical fogging.

Disinfection

Grinders use a spinning blade or rotating abrasive elements to reduce the size of various materials. The specifications, RPM and grit of the engineered grinder, will result in various particle sizes. As a result, what you want to make will determine the type of grinder you need. Grinding is used for improving the texture and flow properties of various products and to enhance the flavor of food products such as coffee, spices, sugar, nuts, sesame, poppy seeds, lentils, wheat, and rice. Choosing the right rotational speed, grinding elements, and processing power allow the grinding and shredding of a wide range of materials into coarse or fine powders. Popular types of heavy duty grinders in food processing include angle grinders, bench grinders and meat grinders.

Industrial washing systems are used to clean and disinfect a variety of items in research and manufacturing facilities. Industrial washers use solvents and cleaning agents with mechanical action to remove deposits and residues from stainless steel machinery components, empty containers, and other soiled surfaces. The selection of an industrial or commercial washer depends on the type of items and surfaces to be cleaned, the type of deposits/residue that is typically present, whether drying is required after rinsing and the level of sterilization necessary. Manufacturers will have cleaning specifications and as a result, require washers to be engineered to meet these specs.

Pistachio nuts offer several health benefits and are very nutritious. The most common way they are enjoyed is when they are roasted or eaten raw. Generally, pistachios are harvested when the shell splits. They are mechanically shaken and caught in a tarp. Furthermore, you can hull and dry them properly before roasting. To achieve all of this, you will need special pistachio processing equipment

Masterpack Group is a leading developer of high-end packaging solutions for big bags, and flexible intermediate bulk containers (FIBCs) used to protect, store and transport bulk and delicate goods worldwide.

When storing your nuts, seeds, and milk powders in bulk, the big bag sizes usually range from 250 kg to over 2,000 kg. <a href="https://www.masterpackgroup.com/">Masterpack</a> has now come up with a smaller alternative. We spoke to Jos Smeitink, Director of Business Development, who introduced the compact modified atmosphere packaging (MAP).
<h2>The long-awaited compact MAP has a major impact on storing organic products</h2>
Jos explains that more and more people are opting for organically grown food, and MAP plays a pivotal role in storing these products.

“These companies cannot use any pesticides and they are plagued with insects that are eating away at the packed or the organic food products. The MA process of Masterpack Group will store food products under low oxygen, because of the low oxygen all insects in the FIBC will die,” says Jos.

However, the applications of compact MAP don’t stop here. Jos states that there is no specific industry or customer segment for the compact MAP and everyone looking to store their products in a modified atmosphere can use these bags.

“In general you could say that shelf-life, depending on your product, will be extended for six months to 12 months at least,” explains Jos.

Although for some products the shelf life can be even longer. For seeds, it can be even way over two years.
<h2>Super-fast processing of 25 kg bags with the easy cap</h2>
Masterpack’s innovations extend even further, as they have developed the easy cap, that you can apply to your compact bags.

“It’s much faster in handling, connecting the MA machine to the bag, and closing the valve. It’s called easy cap but it is actually a valve,” clarifies Jos.

Using it is as easy as it sounds: put it on the bag, and switch on the MA machine, when the process is done you can close the cap with its connector and then remove it. So there is no need to screw the cap onto the machine and then unscrew it later on.

So everything sounds compact and easy, right? We know that there is more to come from Masterpack and we’re staying tuned to see how they continue to innovate the packaging industry!
