When it comes to vegan alternative plant-based sources, we always think about replacing meat and dairy. But have you ever thought of replacing food additives such as gelatine, an animal-derived ingredient? Agar-agar is emerging as a seaweed-based alternative. The appeal of agar-agar is that it doesn't need to be refrigerated and can stay at room temperature; it is insoluble in cold water and dissolves well in liquids at over 90° Celsius. You find it in powder format for most industrial applications. But agar-agar processing also delivers flakes or threads for food production.

Sugar is the fuel that drives photosynthesis in plants. The leafy organisms constantly convert water and carbon dioxide into glucose. But it takes manufacturers specialized sugar processing technology to extract the sweet crystals from them. Today, most sugar products are derived either from sugarcane or sugar beet.

As simple as its own ingredients, the grain-hops-yeast trifecta along with water are the big four ingredients for making beer. The beer-making process is known as brewing and involves several steps like milling, mashing, lautering, boiling, and fermentation.

The winemaking process starts with harvesting and crushing grapes, goes through fermentation, ageing and finishes with packaging. Winemaking supplies vary according to the desired wine and the production or plant size.

First commercially sold baby food was created by Henri Nestlé when he combined cow milk with sugar and grains. Baby food industry has since grown to offer everything from whole wheat infant cereals to ramen-flavored baby food. From infant formula to fruit puree, choosing the baby food processing equipment is related to the type of baby food you want to make.

Pineapples, oranges, passion fruit, you name it. A fruit juice process begins with selecting and cleaning the raw material of your choice and goes through steps like extraction and a filtration machine until it reaches market shelves in bottles. Juice processing equipment varies according to the amount of water in the fruit.

In 1682, Denis Papin found a method to remove collagen from animal bones, discovering gelatin. But it was the inventor Peter Cooper who developed gelatin powder processing. In 1845 he secured his invention with US patent 4084 for a dessert of gelatin powder called “portable gelatin”.

Simplified plate transport mechanism with less required maintenance

All transport mechanisms are in the cleanest area of the press--above the filter plates and away from the cake discharge area

Built and designed in full compliance with food and pharmaceutical industry standards

Greatly improved access to filter plates for inspection and changing filter cloths

Press operation requires only one operator

You can separate liquids and solids in semifluid materials with a filter press. This machine may be automatic or manual, and passes the viscous substance through a series of filter chambers that press against one another to squeeze out the liquids, draining them in a channel at the base of the structure. The liquids are extracted using pressurized air, leaving only the solids to be collected from between the movable plates.

Pharmaceutical

Industrial filtration equipment separates solid matter from liquid by using a filter medium. The filter allows only the fluid to pass through but retains the solid matter. The choice of filtration equipment depends on the particle size, the consistency of the mixture, and the nature of your product.

Filtration

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.
