Brewers' grain, also known as brewers' spent grain or BSG, is the residue of malt and beer production. This brewing by-product is sometimes wasted causing an important environmental impact, nevertheless, with the circular economy in mind, brewers' grain processing can turn waste into value mainly for the feed and food industry, tackling some of the sustainable development goals (SDGs).

Molasses production has been popular worldwide since the discovery of the Americas when sugar cane was introduced by the Spanish and its pressed boiled juice was used to make rum. Nowadays, the most common molasses comes from sugar cane and sugar beet. Depending on the source and extraction process, you can use molasses to produce ethanol, animal feed, food, fermentation products, and many others.

Growing populations and intensive farming in the last centuries reduced soil nitrate levels. Aware of the risks to food security, chemists Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch developed a way to industrialize synthetic nitrogen fertilizer production. They created the Haber-Bosch process for ammonia synthesis which is still used today. Manufacturers produce over a hundred million metric tons of nitrogenous fertilizers every year.

Toast spread, oatmeal topping or salad dressing - nut butter can be used in various ways. Although in a culinary sense classified as such, peanuts, almonds, cashews and pecans, the popular choices for nut butter are, botanically speaking, not nuts. They are processed in a series of nut butter processing equipment to get the creamy, rich product ready for consumption.

Few inventions in the history of civilizations have been as pervasive and impactful as that of paper, some 2,000 years ago. But the sheets used in documents just a few centuries ago seem like a different material compared with the paper products of our times. The refined stock that makes anything from egg trays and tissue paper to diaper linings needed other inventions to come about. These innovations are their own class of process equipment: paper pulp manufacturing technology.

Gently crushing of soft to medium-hard substances

Through these larger throughputs, a higher fineness can be achieved

Can be charged both continuously and discontinuously

Continuous milling is a flow production method used to grind materials without interruption. It is often used in the production of foods, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and minerals. The material to be processed flows in at one end and the milled output flows out at the other in a continuous process. By choosing the right combination of milling technology and processing power you can obtain the desired particle size distribution in an uninterrupted stream.

Milling machines are used to reduce the size of material by cutting, crushing, or grinding it. The choice of industrial milling equipment depends on the industry and the materials to work with. Besides, there is a significant difference between those aimed to remove layers from metal or other materials workpieces and those designed to reduce particle size for materials that come in bulk.

Do you have a sweet tooth, or are you more into a warm loaf of bread for a savory lunch? The bakery shop window displays something for everyone, from baguettes over croissants to muffins. Bakery products are a wide range of baked goods prepared from flour or meal derived from grains. These undergo mixing, fermentation, and baking processes with the help of bakery processing equipment such as a series of low- and high-speed mixers, fermentation tanks, and baking chambers.

Due to their potential hazardous nature, chemicals are classified for proper identification and safety during production. Chemical classification depends on their properties, structures and functions. In the chemical industry, you can regard them as basic chemicals such as acids, chemical products to produce plastic materials and finished chemicals for use in cosmetology. As a manufacturer or engineer, you want to know their reactivity when using chemical processing equipment.

Milk can be consumed as a stand-alone product (whole, low-fat or skim) or can be the starting point for food industry products such as cheese, butter, yogurt, condensed milk, and ice cream. In order to process milk and other dairy products, you need specialized dairy production equipment which then encapsulates different processes such as pasteurization, homogenization, and fermentation.

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.

We carry dozens of metals around every day. The ubiquitous smartphone is built with no less than 20 metals, each with specific behaviors and purposes. Metals are a pervasive class of materials that have defined entire eras of human development. It is no exaggeration to say that metal processing equipment is the core of our metallic world. But, paradoxically, this manufacturing technology itself is mainly made of metal.

The nearly 5,000 known minerals on earth share some characteristics to be classified as minerals – they are inorganic, solid, naturally occurring elements and have a particular chemical formula and an ordered internal geometric structure. However, minerals are not all the same. One way to divide them is based on their physical characteristics such as hardness, luster, color, and shape. For example, the diamonds we use to make jewelry are very hard minerals while talc is a soft mineral; gold is a shiny mineral while others are less so.

Eating is more than just nutrition, but we have found ways to increase the nourishing power of our foods. Nutraceuticals manufacturing, from vitamin C powder and probiotics to omega 3 oil, is a concentration of natural ingredients and health supplements that complement our diets. While dietary supplements are not quite haute cuisine, the process of extraction and purification is no less a blend of science and art.

Pharmaceutical powders provide longer shelf life and better stability than liquid dosage forms. But the processing of pharmaceutical powders is crucial for growing segments besides pharmacy. Functional foods and cosmetics formulated with active ingredients and excipients depend on powdered forms to fulfill their promises.

Pharmaceutical developments walk side by side with health advances to provide new medicines, treatments, and therapies that have increased life quality and extended life expectancy by years. Pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment helps deliver products to a great deal of the population, but there’s a significant share that doesn’t benefit from them yet. Over 2 billion people cannot get the medicines they need, according to the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, and local production might be a way to provide for these people.

Pharmaceuticals

The building blocks of matter have driven the imagination of philosophers, scientists, and artists for millennia. But, for manufacturers, these elements have a more concrete existence as powders. Powder processing technology conditions these primary materials to create a vast range of products, from chemicals and foods to pharmaceuticals and ceramics.

During the Middle Ages, sugar sweets were a delicacy only for the rich due to the high cost of sugar. Thankfully, the discovery that sugar could be extracted from sugar beets made sweets affordable for everyone. The sweet category is broad, covering chocolates, chewing gums, sugar candies, and candied/glazed products with sugar. To make these confections, sugar manufacturing equipment needs to cover different steps within the production line such as sugar dissolution, syrup cooking and cooling.

Synthetic fertilizers are made of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium and are often produced as dry pellets or soluble product.

Among all dosage forms in use today, tablets constitute the most common one. They are pharmaceutical solid dosage forms containing active ingredients and excipients such as diluents, binders, glidants, and lubricants. Using tablet making equipment, these solid dosage forms are made by compression of granules or powder blends and then shaped by molding.
