Black Soldier fly larvae (BSF or BSFL), also known by its scientific name, Hermentia Illucens, offer great nutritional values, making them an excellent alternative protein source for animal feed and pet food. Black soldier fly technologies have evolved sufficiently to turn the insect into a viable food ingredient. But there is no official authorization for human consumption yet and you are unlikely to find them at a restaurant anytime soon.

Crickets are better known for their nighttime serenades than for their nutritional notes, but their serious protein content as well as vitamin B12 content and iron, moves them into the category of superfoods. With a light brown color and a nutty taste, cricket protein powder is a versatile dietary ingredient that makes it difficult to go off-tune with your recipes.

Fruit dehydration is the earliest form of food preservation, with the earliest written record of dried fruits dating back to ancient Mesopotamian tablets, which contain the world’s earliest known recipes. Today, some of the most popular dried fruit snacks are raisins, dates, mango, pineapple, prunes, figs and apricots. Dried fruit processing equipment helps preserve the nutrients and sweetness of the fruit and prolongs its shelf life.

Granola is one of the most beloved breakfast menus for its versatility and convenience - you can put it in milk, use it as a topping for yogurt, or even make healthy cookies out of it. Setting up a granola production equipment line is quite similar to muesli. The only difference would be that the sheet of hard grains, nuts, and dried fruits goes through the baking process.

Granola

You make granola bars from caramelized nuts, grains, and cereals, baking and shaping them into crunchy snacks. Granola bar production involves mixing, forming, baking, and cutting into bars. The quality of granola bars is affected by baking. How the sugar caramelizes and blends with the other ingredients determines the final taste and texture of your granola bar.

Peanut, which (ironically) is a legume, is the make-or-break ingredient of your mixed nuts manufacturing process. “Deluxe” packs tend to avoid them, as their price is much more affordable than other nuts, therefore not being premium. For a regular mix, on the other hand, peanuts can be the major ingredient you’ll include.

Mixed nuts

Peanuts, also known as groundnuts are one of the most popular edible seeds in the world. You can eat them as-is or process them further into on-the-shelf products like peanut butter, oil, snacks, and soups. Depending on what you want to make, some peanut manufacturing processes include roasting, frying, boiling, grinding, pressing, and coating the peanuts.

The ubiquitous plastic shopping bag was first designed as a reusable carrier. Its inventor, Sten Gustaf Thulin, will have been appalled to see his creation turn into a single-use object. But this disposable tendency is common to all plastic materials, from screw taps to milk carton lining. With plastic recycling equipment, however, plastic waste can be reprocessed and given a second lease of life.

The Roman quip “bread and circuses” says everything about the ubiquity of loaves through the ages. But although flour, yeast, and water are still the main bread recipe ingredients today, the baking process as well as the bakery equipment available, takes this basic formula to new avenues. From sprouted wheat challah to beetroot ciabatta and protein rolls, breadmaking has changed considerably since the time of the Roman empire.

Around 1860, American businessman James Spratt made dog biscuits by mixing vegetables, flour, beetroot, and meat. His novel idea came after he noticed dogs eating leftover biscuits from ships in England. Following the commercial success in Britain, he started production in America, and it didn’t take long before others developed their own baked pet food formulas. But the need for more palatability led to experiments beyond the oven. In 1956, extruded dry pet food production made its splash on the market.

The fishmeal powder market forecast shows that its global market value will reach USD 10.3 billion by 2025. Expanding since 2019, at an annual growth rate of 6.5%. Fishmeal powder production has strong business potential with the increase of applications in animal feed, pet food, and fortified foods.

If you like a warm and easy breakfast, oatmeal can be a great option for you. Oatmeal, most commonly known as rolled oats, is prepared oats ready to consume in a form of porridge or cereal. Other than rolled oats, there are other types of oatmeal - such as steel-cut oats, quick oats, and instant oats. You first need to prepare clean oat groats - the hulled kernels of wild oats, and you can decide which oatmeal processing equipment you would like to set up and depending on the oatmeal of your choice.

Pelleted feed

There are two misconceptions about floating pellets. The first one is that they are made with a pellet mill, when the proper floating pellets-making machines are extruders. The second misconception is that floating feed is only used for fish. However, many other species consume feed on the water, such as crocodiles and birds.

Floating pellets

In aquafeed, you can find three types of pellets: floating pellets, sinking pellets, and slow-sinking pellets, because not all aquatic species eat at the same height of the water column. In the case of bottom feeders such as shrimp, river crab, sea bass, and some species of catfish, they eat sinking pellets. Contrary to tilapia and carp that feeds from the surface with floating pellets. Sinking pellets production must control water stability to preserve the quality and form of the pellets, avoiding nutrients' dissolution in the water.

Sinking pellets

Building a fire with wood sticks and logs is one of the most wholesome experiences. But it would take a lot of trees to heat up our homes. Instead, the fire-stoking power of plant material can be concentrated in a wood pellet, boosting its burning efficiency. However, wood pellet making equipment and machinery involves more than just the compaction of sawdust. Processing high-quality pellets from biomass can be as intricate as loading a fire-lay.

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.

Aquaculture feed is used when rearing marine livestock such as fish, shellfish, and algae. Quality nutrition is needed for healthy growth and reproduction and feed usually consists of fats, carbohydrates, protein, vitamins, and minerals. Extruded aquaculture feed floats on the water surface and pressure-pelleted feed will sink to the bottom.

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.

Cereals are also defined as breakfast food made from roasted grain and typically eaten with milk or yogurt. Cereal grain is a small, hard, and dry seed, which mainly harvests for human or animal consumption, like wheat, maize, or rye. Processed from the edible components of the grains, breakfast cereals contain rich nutrients and usually serve as the main course during breakfast meals. Different cereal manufacturing equipment allow various options to appear on the market, ranging from cereals, granola, and muesli. Granola and muesli can be converted into cereal bars. The healthy, on-the-go snack bar shows a growing trend due to its nutrient content and convenience.

Cocoa production and the cocoa industry uses industrial processing technology to process and manufacture high quality cocoa products in many different forms. Did you know that cacao cultivation goes back centuries - to be specific, about 5300 years? This plant, with its long history, is also known for its versatile usage. From cocoa nips to cocoa butter, cocoa becomes a base to produce multiple products, ranging from food products to cosmetics. As you may already know, chocolate products are all made from cocoa as well. Hence, depending on what you intend to produce as the end product, as well as your recipe, your cocoa processing equipment line may change.

With over one-third of the population consuming it daily in different forms, coffee is one of the most popular processed beverages worldwide. Not only serving as drinks, but coffee is also often regarded as a culture. Coffee manufacturing is a knowledge-intensive industry. Coffee beans from different regions will reveal different tastes, while the level of caffeine could also be different. When it comes to coffee bean processing, the range of roasts varies from light golden brown all the way to dark. The method of tasting coffee differs between countries, habits, and tools.

We continuously talk to suppliers of feed processing technologies that have important know-how on how to create the smarter, better, and greener feed products we need to kickstart a better tomorrow. Are you into making animal feed or pet food and looking for ways to improve your production process? Let’s navigate the world of feed production technologies together!

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.

A fresh salad with a walnut oil dressing or a peanut butter sandwich? A bag of roasted cashews or a pack of almond cookies? The common thread among these tasty treats is nut processing equipment. Not all nut ingredients are indeed nuts, botanically speaking. But the machinery that transforms shelled fruits, legumes, and drupes into fried snacks or a paste is similar. As for the food products, there is a nut recipe for every mood and occasion.

Pet food is a specialty food mostly based on formulated ingredients for various nutritional and dietary requirements. Pet food formulas are becoming more diverse and complex, considering the special health conditions and needs of young and aging pets that live in cities. The production of pet food is similar to processing food in general when it comes to fresh feedstock and flesh products.

A snack is a small portion of food ready to eat and simple and fast to prepare. People usually consume snacks during the day between traditional meals such as breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Snack foods include simple products such as nuts, dried fruits, peanuts as well as packaged and processed foods. Puffed corn products made by extrusion or flavored potato chips are examples of processed foods.
