Biscuits are confectionery products that contain mostly flour, which you mix and bake with other ingredients as sweet or savory snacks. Biscuit production involves four primary processes: mixing, forming, baking, and cooling. For you to perform these processes, you need basic biscuit processing equipment, including mixers, molders/cutters, and ovens.

Biscuits

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.

“A party without cake is just a meeting.” America's beloved chef, Julia Child, couldn't have been more right. Nowadays, cakes are a blaze of colors and flavors and it's amazing to think that it only takes a few basic ingredients and steps to make them. Mix fat, flour, eggs, sugar, water and salt to make the batter. After baking and cooling it, let your imagination run wild when it comes to toppings, fillings, and decorations.

Cakes

Cookies

Croissants have crossed global barriers to become a widely consumed pastry, unique for its rich buttery taste and crispy exterior. Regardless of location, the croissant production process involves creating laminated dough by repeatedly folding and rolling butter into dough. Temperature regulation is crucial to the croissant making process as too warm temperatures negatively affect the overall outcome.

Dough

Only a few things are as attractive as a gorgeously glazed doughnut. Even when customers are not in the mood, that beautiful sheen will invite them to take a bite. To achieve this appearance, the two doughnut types, cake and yeast doughnuts, can use the help of appropriate doughnut making equipment.

Doughnuts

Flour processing technology has changed drastically since the days of the millstone pulled by a mule. But demand for more refined flour means that the production process is now slower than with more rudimentary techniques. When mixed with water, protein in wheat flour form an elastic gluten structure, giving bakery products their irresistible fluffiness.

A frozen cake can last up to 6 months before the texture begins to change. But if the freezing process isn’t carried out correctly, ingredients start reacting sooner. Cool the cake down in a cooling tunnel before flash freezing them to avoid crystallization. Finally, wrap the products to limit contact with air before loading them into their cartons. Whether sheet or layered, making frozen cakes is no piece of cake.

Frozen cakes

Let's face it. No one can resist craving pizza for more than a couple of days. And in fact, cosmonaut Yuri Usachov didn't even make it while in orbit and received a pizza delivery through a rocket. Frozen pizza making process involves first creating the dough, allowing it to rise, and cutting it into the typical pizza shapes. After choosing sauces and toppings you prefer, you can let your pizzas cool in a spiral freezer.

Ready-to-eat meals were once considered a convenience purchase, but new specialty options satisfy the appetite for functional foods and alternative diets. Ready meals combine different processed foods in single portions, so packaging is a critical part of the offering. Aside from shelf visibility, containers must maintain food quality while ensuring responsible disposal. Ready meal preparation today provides more than a quick bite. The foods and packaging are meant to nourish people and planet.

Neige de lait in French or neve di latte in Italian, as referred to in very old texts and both meaning milk snow, has been used in recipes since the 15th century. Withstanding the test of time, whipped cream is still one of the most beloved dessert toppings. What starts with milk ends as a silky delicacy with the help of whipped cream equipment and specified manufacturing processes.

Whipped cream

Ancient civilizations were using yeast as it naturally occurred in bread-making and brewing. But yeast processing equipment wasn't developed and fully commercialized until the end of the 18th century. Today, this industrialized micro-organism is critical in producing biofuels and other products beyond food and drinks.

In 1922, the first canned wet pet food made of horse meat hit the US market. Due to the product’s popularity, farmers started breeding horses to supply the demand for wet pet food.
Nowadays, wet pet food is no longer made of horse meat, but of chicken, fish, beef and pork and also vegetables, grains and added vitamins and minerals. Wet pet food processing involves different steps such as weighing, grinding, mixing, packaging, and sterilization.

Wet pet food

Many pet owners consider themselves parents of furry babies, meaning they consider their pets as family rather than companions. Consequently, pet owners are getting more concerned about their pets’ health and actively demanding a healthy diet. To respond to this market demand, there is a rise in raw pet food production, in which ingredients stay in a more natural state refraining from ultra-processing them and avoiding using preservatives and synthetic additives.

Raw pet food

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.

Roasted nuts

A juicy piece of fruit evokes images of sunlight and warmth. But manufacturers take the reverse route and freeze the harvested products to keep their nutritious mix of minerals, fibers, and vitamins intact. Frozen fruit processing equipment takes temperatures down to around -18 °C, giving the foods an extended lease of life. Many smoothies, jams, and purees we consume are the fruit of frozen labor.

Chocolate bars are popular snacks and gifts for many occasions and events, dating back to the Mayans and the Aztecs. They may also include other ingredients such as caramel, fruits, or nuts. Considering making chocolate bars? Make sure, though, that your chocolate bar making equipment can cover various processes such as grinding and melting, tempering, refining, and cooling.

Chocolate bars

Consumers usually eat chocolate spreads along with bread, or other grain-based items, such as pancakes, biscuits, waffles, and others. Although one particular brand has dominated this market for more than 50 years, there is still a place for new, health-friendly innovations and production ideas using chocolate spread machines.

Children love them, and adults love them too. Extruded cereal is a typical ready-to-eat cereal with different flavors and shapes. You pour cold milk into a bowl of extruded cereal and eat them for breakfast or sometimes as a dessert. These shapes of cereals are refined by thermo-mechanical cereal extruder machines. Typically, extruded cereal can be categorized into three kinds: direct expanded cereal, co-extruded cereal, and extruded flakes. Depending on which kind of extruded cereal you are making among these three kinds, your choice of processing line will differ.

Extruded cereal

Powder detergent is one of the most widespread washing solutions used in the laundry of fabrics. Since they contain no water, powder detergents are lighter than liquid detergent or pods, which results in cheaper transport and, thus, a more affordable choice for the end consumer. Although manufacturers can formulate their powder detergents differently, the detergent powder production process relies on a combination of builders, surfactants, and enzymes.

Powder detergent

Laundry detergents are currently on the rise due to increasing urbanization and the need for automation. The global market will reach $98,139.7 million by 2030 from $61,711.0 in 2020, influencing the demand for laundry detergent equipment. Unlike in Western countries, powdered detergents are more popular in Asia and China because they’re cheaper.

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.

Chemicals

Detergents are cleaning agents that help remove dirt and grease from porous and non-porous surfaces. Industrial production of detergents began after World War I. Still, it was after the 1950s and 1960s that the detergent industry grew exponentially due in part to the development of new detergent manufacturing equipment.

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.

There is a pasta type for every mood. Curly, straight, ridged, or smooth, pasta has quickly grown into a staple food. The simple combination of milled wheat and water is transformed by pasta making equipment into a rainbow of shapes, colors, and sizes. But producing pasta with the right firmness, elasticity, and color profile is as intricate a process as preparing an authentic lasagna.

Chinese legend has it that tea was created by accident over 2700 years BC. A servant boiled drinking water for his emperor when leaves from the Camellia sinensis tree fell into it – and the emperor decided to taste the drink. While to make tea nowadays on a medium to large-scale you need tea processing equipment like dryers instead of just a tree and wind blowing it, mythology adds a special flavor to the tea industry story.

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.

It’s important to get timing and temperature right when making caramel, and this implies being vigilant. For small scale production of caramel, ensure that your heat source distributes heat evenly and monitor the caramelization process closely. This prevents recrystallization and burning the sugar. For medium to large scale caramel production, consider investing in automated caramel making equipment.

&nbsp;

Caramel

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.

Granola bars

In NASA's early years, a research program was established on how to provide food for astronauts while in space. In fact, in the 1960s, nutrition bars were launched with a label called "Space Food Sticks" because they were designed to allow astronauts to eat them easily while wearing their helmets. Protein bar manufacturing equipment is used to mix ingredients, extrude the mixture at a set temperature, cool the product before cutting it to size, coating it, and allowing it to cool to prepare it for packaging.
