Pistachios roasting Equipment

Roasting involves extended exposure to heat in an oven or over a fire. Depending on your end product, roasting equipment makes sure that the raw materials you put in undergo even roast intensity before they are transferred for further processing. Some roasting technologies may also be used for other cooking requirements, including toasting and drying. When thinking about roasting, the idea of roasted coffee comes to mind. However, there are a wide array of food products that go through a roasting process. For example, nuts such as almonds and cashews go through a roasting machine

Roasting

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

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.

Cashews come from a tropical tree native to Central America. They have become prominent and your nut mix will not be complete without them. The cashew processing method involves roasting, shell drying, peeling, grading, fumigation and packaging. You have to conduct these processing methods with care to obtain quality cashew nuts. In order to achieve this, you'll need the appropriate machinery for your cashew processing plant.

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!

Food

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.

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.

When sealing large bags containing bulk products, a sealer must be reliable to keep the MAP safe in order to avoid products going to waste due to subpar sealing quality. Manual operation for sealing is still very common in the industry, but it is prone to error and inconsistent output. Automating the sealing process can minimize operator error and produce consistently secured sealing.


<h2>Automated complete sealing by single-button operation</h2>
The Automatic Spout Sealer, from Somsix, is a sealing system for large bags used in industrial applications. The system features automated, user-friendly controls where the sealing settings can be preset for a consistent output in every cycle. This method significantly reduces operator error over manual hand-operated sealers. The operator simply positions the spout in the seal mouth and presses one button to execute the sealing process, including the cooling necessary after heating for a complete and secured seal.

Automatic FIBC Sealing machine

Manufacturers requiring big bag packaging have specific sizes, shapes, and material requirements to ensure their products can be handled safely during transportation and storage. However, the FIBC manufacturing process is only sometimes considered sustainable since these big bags are made of polyethylene, which is difficult to recycle. An ideal solution would be working on preventing waste by producing custom-made big bags of the exact right sizes and shapes required by the manufacturer to save on excess offcuts and material costs and minimize production waste.
<h2>Preventing 10-20% of waste by producing big bags in custom shapes, sizes, and material</h2>
Masterpack Group, a leading expert in innovative packaging solutions for bulk materials, designed custom big bag containers used as packaging that provide increased protection, prolong product shelf life, and optimize storage space. FIBCs are available in different shapes, such as circular or U-shape. They can be equipped with specific liner materials like conductive, aluminum, anti-static, dissipative, metalized OPP, or whichever is best for your product. Liners also help protect products from oxygen, moisture, and other possible contaminants while providing safe filling and discharge. The FIBCs are hygienic, and the PE films used as liners are designed and fabricated according to the correct size, not cut to shape from a big tubular PE film. This method minimizes waste in the production of each liner.

Modified Atmosphere Big Bags

Products packed in large bulk bags, such as FIBCs, require vacuum pressure and accurate oxygen or nitrogen content control. Modifying the atmosphere inside the packaging by lowering oxygen levels to 1% or less can protect the products from molds and other microorganisms, as well as insects and rodents, resulting in a prolonged product shelf life.


<h2>Creating an atmosphere with oxygen levels below 1% inside your bulk bags</h2>
The Vacuum and Gas Injection Machine, from Somsix, is a system used to create the optimum atmosphere conditions inside FIBCs or large bags during the packaging of bulk products. The unit allows the operator to create a vacuum and insert the necessary gases in a single cycle to increase productivity. The procedure is done by removing air from a sealed container before injecting essential gases like oxygen, nitrogen, or carbon dioxide into that container. It can also reduce oxygen levels in FIBCs down to 1% or lower in a very short time.

The system has an integrated leak test at the end of each cycle to automatically check for possible leaks in every bag. This feature prevents costly and time-consuming errors. The entire system is built based on food-grade standards guaranteeing hygienic operation.

Basically, to make milk powder, you need to remove the water content from the liquid milk and turn it into powder. How to do it? After pasteurizing and homogenizing the milk, milk’s water content is removed through filtration, evaporation, and drying. You have then to cool and sieve it before filling the containers. Here's how you get milk powder.

While Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) has long been synonymous with big bags and bulk storage, Masterpack is rewriting the rules, introducing a game-changing solution for smaller-scale packaging.
<h2>Store smaller quantities with the same quality</h2>
Picture this: delicate goods, once resigned to the constraints of bulk storage, now finding refuge in packages weighing a mere 10 to 35 kilograms. Thanks to <a href="https://blog.masterpackgroup.com/biofach-2024-compact-map-machine?hs_preview=KlMYPjuP-155211777607">Masterpack's innovation</a>, the benefits of MAP are now accessible to a whole new realm of products. With the technology, Oxygen content can be reduced to below 2% which results in a significantly extended shelf life for the packaged product. Without the need for chemical treatment, MAP is perfect for storing organic food.

And it's not just about the product; it's about the process. With Masterpack's easy cap technology, sealing and monitoring oxygen levels have been made even easier. The Compact MAP machine is purpose-built for handling these smaller packages with precision and efficiency.

From big bags to compact bags: use MAP in both

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.

Every year, more than 200 million FIBCs are filled with food for storage and transport. Products must be kept in the ideal conditions to maintain their quality from production up to packaging, storage, and delivery. By controlling oxygen levels during packaging and continuously monitoring the conditions in each package, food manufacturers can benefit from less waste within their supply chain, where up to 40% of the food waste occurs.


<h2>Remote monitoring of conditions inside each modified atmosphere bag to prevent waste</h2>
The Modified Atmosphere Sensor, from Somsix, is a monitoring device for oxygen levels and other conditions inside bulk packages. The device is available in 3 monitoring categories. The first category is called modified atmosphere (MA) sensors for FIBCs. It features remote monitoring of oxygen, temperature, and humidity wherever the FIBCs are located. The second category is a custom sensor, which monitors specific data or packaging applications based on client requests, while the third category is called basic manual probe, where a probe and a set of MA sensors are used for monitoring.

These sensors are mainly developed to allow monitoring of modified atmospheric conditions inside the packages in the most non-invasive and cost-effective way. All sensor caps are easy to install, provide accurate analysis, and monitor each bag every 6 hours. Data collected are sent directly to the operator through a software portal. The monitoring system also allows certification of product quality from departure to arrival.

<span data-contrast="auto">You can protect your nuts from worms by having good orchard practice. Here the modified atmosphere (MA) technology from Masterpack steps in, to give you a hand in the battle with the pests. You can apply it in hermetically sealed big bags, making it a biobased substitute that eliminates insects. In addition, it reduces mold formation, respiration, and auto-oxidation which can cause fat degradation and rancidity.</span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span>

<span data-contrast="auto">Using Masterpack’s technology you can modify the levels of Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Carbon Dioxide inside the storage bags. You should store pistachios under low Oxygen (~1%), which will reduce respiration, in the short-term inactivating and eventually killing all stages of insects. In addition, it will obstruct the formation of molds by preventing the sporulation of fungal spores and reducing toxic compounds such as mycotoxin. Moreover, it halts the formation of mycelium, a part of the moldy fungus. MA also comes in handy avoiding the auto-oxidation of the fats inside the nuts, ensuring a better taste, smell, and color of your pistachios. </span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span>

<span data-contrast="auto">If the Oxygen level is not low enough to control both insects and/or molds, Masterpack’s equipment allows you to lower the Oxygen levels to 0.5% or increase the CO2 levels in the gas mixture to 10-30%. That is toxic for both molds and insects but is still considered a biological treatment. MA is, therefore, ecologically friendly with the potential to prolong the shelf-life of your pistachios significantly, and most importantly get rid of the infestations of gritty worms. </span><span data-ccp-props="{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}"> </span>
