Shredding-process

A cheeseboard demonstrates the different possibilities that milk and dairy can take. There are hundreds of recognized cheese recipes worldwide, but the main ingredients remain the same: milk, fermenters, salt, and time. Cheese manufacturers combine these elements to craft unique flavors, aromas, and textures. Advanced cheese making equipment provides better control over these elements to create ever more diverse cheeseboards.

Cheese

A shredder is used to reduce the size of various materials through the cutting action of its contra-rotating shredding rollers or knife shafts. Industrial shredders come in many different designs, sizes, and variations. Shredders are best used for the disposal of used tires, scrap metal, car wrecks, garbage, recycling of plastics, paper, and shredding of various foods such as cooked cereals. The choice of a suitable heavy duty shredder depends on the properties of the material to be processed, the desired shred size, the size of the in feed material, and the volume of material to be processed.

Continuous

When processing large volumes of cheese, maintaining consistency and efficiency can be a challenge. High-capacity cheese production lines need to ensure uniform shredding, seamless integration with other systems, and hygienic standards to meet production demands.
<h2>Shreds up to 2,000 kg of cheese per hour</h2>

Conveyor systems are used for moving materials from one location to another. Considerations for choosing a suitable industrial conveying system include the nature of the product, its physical state, the desired conveying rate, and sensitivity of the product to heat and mechanical shock. Conveying equipment is used in the food, pharmaceutical, chemical, biomass, and mineral industries to move materials around a warehouse as well as to transport bulk powders, granules, and grains for processing and filling. These types of systems are usually automated and there is a wide variety of solutions to choose when it comes to the type of conveyor. Types include screw, gravity, chain, roller and belt conveyors.

Conveying

Dosing systems are a line of hoppers, feeders, filling machines, and checkweighers that operate in sync to dispense materials accurately. Dosing is an essential feature of the packaging process, whether you’re filling shampoo bottles or tea bags. But dosing equipment is critical for formulations, too, particularly in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Imprecise dosing may cause quality degradation in the best-case scenario. In the worst scenario, it creates serious health risks.

Dosing

Industrial mixing equipment is used to combine two or more solid, liquid or gaseous segregated ingredients into a homogenous single product. The choice of mixing technology depends largely on the physical state of the ingredients and the desired final product. But the sensitivity of the ingredients, the process temperature, and pressure requirements are also critical factors. All these parameters result in a wide range of industrial mixers.

Industrial shredder for recycling and waste management

Plastic pollution is one of the biggest climate-related problems mankind has. So what are your options? A bioplastic machine can help create an alternative to traditional plastics. Bioplastics, differently from regular plastics, don’t cause environmental contamination. Also, they don’t contain harmful ingredients and additives. Even with these benefits, the annual production of bioplastics is still less than one percent of all plastic making. However, the market is witnessing steady growth due to a rise in demand.

Meat and bone meal production is used in pet food and animal feed, but the risks of mad cow disease make it unsuitable for ruminant feed. Bone meal and meat meal are by-products from slaughterhouses and livestock farms. They can come as separate meals or mixed into meat and bone meal (MBM) which offers more nutrients and increases amino acids in animal feed formulations. But besides feed, MBM can also be used as fertilizer and fuel.

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.

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.
