Dairy Filling Equipment

People have always loved butter. Suffice it to say that Ancient Norsemen were buried with it to take to the afterlife. It seems impossible but making butter is all about separation. First, you separate the raw milk to get the buttercream using a cream separator. After cooling, mixing and pasteurizing your buttercream, the churning process separates it into buttermilk and butter grains. Then, mix butter grains with salt and use a butter churner to mix the ingredients again, before shaping begins using butter molds. Which butter-making equipment can improve your process?

Can you think of anything better than a slice of bread with some spreadable cheese for a snack? Production of cheese spread is similar to other types of processed cheese, but it contains more moisture to be soft and spreadable. Cheese spread starts with one or more types of cheese along with other ingredients and food additives such as stabilizers and emulsifiers. After mixing and vacuum cooking these ingredients, you can pour them into molds for cooling before packaging.

To produce condensed milk, you need to remove a large portion of the water content from the milk. Usually, you add sugar to it to create a sweet flavor. First, milk is standardized and pasteurized. Then, it goes through an evaporation process to remove the excess water content while sugar is added. After that, the mixture undergoes homogenization. The condensed milk is cooled and crystallized before being ready for packaging.

Curd

You usually make grated cheese from hard cheeses, like Cheddar, Parmesan, Edam, Red Leicester, etc. The process starts with processed cheese, in blocks or sliced, fed to the grating machine. After that, you mix it with ingredients that prevent molds from occurring and to reduce the grated cheese moisture. Then you dry the grated cheese and weigh it before it is ready for packing.

Aphrodite’s Rock, the Limassol Carnival, and the Tomb of the Kings are defining features of Cyprus. But perhaps nothing characterizes the Mediterranean island as well as halloumi. The salty, springy cheese has been a staple of Cypriot homes for centuries. But halloumi production technology is now bringing this delicacy to others far away from the region.

Making ice cream is all about mixing and homogenizing. First you need to blend, pasteurize and standardize your mixture. Then store it in tanks and freeze and aerate the mix until it reached the right consistency. Now you can add fruits, cookies and other solids if you like. In the final step the mix goes through an air blast hardening machine and it's ready to store and ship.

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.

Cheese is the most demanding food in the entire dairy family to emulate using non-animal and dairy free ingredients. The complex physical and taste profiles of animal-derived milk products make plant-based cheese manufacturing challenging to pull off. But the growing appetite for lactose-free and non dairy products is serving alternative platters of cheese.

Plant-based cheese

Whey

After pasteurizing and homogenizing the raw milk, you need to ferment the milk with starter culture until solid curds and liquid whey is formed. Then, the liquid whey goes through a filtration and drying process to turn it into powder. Before sending it to packaging, flavorings are usually added.

Whey protein

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

Yogurt makers start with raw milk from animals like cows and goats and produce yogurt by standardizing milk, reducing fat content and increasing total solids before pasteurizing to remove harmful bacteria. After pasteurization, the milk undergoes homogenization to make it smoother and more consistent. The milk then receives yogurt cultures, and the product undergoes a fermentation process. Finally, you can cool and refrigerate the yogurt and prepare it for packing.

Food powder is the result of drying and pulverizing food. It has been around since the astronauts when out to space. Fruits have a short shelf life and are difficult to preserve due to their high water content.  Fruit powder processing allows you to keep the nutrients of the fruits for a longer time, even off-season.

Do you know that the famous classical music composer and pianist Ludwig van Beethoven insisted on drinking a cup of coffee made from exactly 60 pieces of coffee beans? Currently, around 50% of the world’s green coffee beans undergo processing through instant coffee manufacturing equipment to produce instant coffee. The process requires roasting, grinding, brewing, and heating to obtain the extract; the coffee extract will either go through a spray drying process or a freeze-drying process.

Instant coffee

Filter coffee

Any coffee-drinker can agree that a cup of coffee in the morning can brighten up their day. As the most convenient way of making coffee, many people choose to make coffee at home. Whether you want to make Moka coffee or filtered coffee, you need ground coffee that is grind appropriately for the coffee brewing method of your choice. These ground coffee are manufactured by roasting and grinding processes.

Ground coffee

Some say there is no point in drinking decaffeinated coffee. However, decaffeinated coffee can be an excellent solution for those who love coffee but cannot consume caffeine due to health reasons. The central part of making decaffeinated coffee is the caffeine extraction process, which is conducted while the coffee beans are still green. Then, according to the taste profile you intend, you can roast these decaffeinated beans.

Vitamin C is an essential nutrient, but the human species lost the ability to produce it biologically during the course of evolution. Instead, we source the substance either from whole foods or vitamin C manufacturing. The chemical characteristics of the natural nutrient and processed compound are the same, but supplements offer higher concentrations, especially to persons with nutrient deficiencies.

Vitamin C

It took the scientific community almost 70 years to agree on the name ‘protein’ and discard the popular alternative, proteid. But protein powder processing still needed another five decades to be commercialized in the 1950s. Once extraction and purification could be industrialized, protein powder soon became a basic staple supplement.

Roasted nuts

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

Sugar coated 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.

From being grown in the field to roasting and slicing, the manufacture and processing of almonds is a multi-tiered operation. After removing their hull, also known as almond hulling, you can process almonds in various ways to achieve the requested consistency. Whether you chop the almond, finely mill them or turn them into almond milk, they require special care and equipment for nut processing.

In Ancient Rome, hazelnut plants were valuable gifts as it was believed to bring happiness. In modern days, hazelnuts still bring happiness, mainly in the form of Nutella. While most nuts are botanically classified as fruits, hazelnuts are, along with chestnuts and acorns, true nuts. Once harvested, the nuts are dried and ready to be processed in various hazelnut processing equipment.

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.

Oatmeal

Muesli, known as the adults’ cereal, is a loose mixture of rolled oats, whole grains, seeds, nuts, and dried fruits. Unlike granola, the muesli manufacturing process goes through rather simple steps. All of the ingredients are combined in the mixer without any specific cooking or baking process. This loose mixture is then packed individually, either in stand-up pouches, paper bags, paper tube and so on.

Filling lines

Filling lines are used extensively in all industries, such as food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and cosmetics, to accurately package different products into a container suitable for that product. Although the filling process is at the very end of the production line, it is no less important than the earlier steps. Last but not least, the idiom that dates back to 1382 when John Wyclif wrote the firste the laste, and the laste the firste, indicates just that the last things on a list are just as valuable as the previous ones. In this case, this idiom fits perfectly.

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.

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.

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.

Fruit pulp is a mass of pressed fresh fruit not meant for immediate consumption. Production of fruit pulp avoids wasting food and preserves the flavors and nutrient value of the fruit product. Processed fruit pulp is an ingredient in beverages, sauces, baby foods, jellies, smoothies, and bakery products.

Tradition and manufacturing procedures dictate the distinction between fruit juice, puree, and pulp. Still, naming and labeling are complex and depend on regulations, type of fruit, texture, consistency, preservation methods, and sugar or solid content (measured in Degrees Brix). Depending on your desired output, there are various fruit pulper machines for different stages of production that make the process quicker and more efficient.

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.

Pharmaceutical developments walk side by side with health advances to provide new medicines, treatments, and therapies that have increased life quality and extended life expectancy by years. Pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment helps deliver products to a great deal of the population, but there’s a significant share that doesn’t benefit from them yet. Over 2 billion people cannot get the medicines they need, according to the United Nations Industrial Development Organization, and local production might be a way to provide for these people.

Pharmaceuticals

The building blocks of matter have driven the imagination of philosophers, scientists, and artists for millennia. But, for manufacturers, these elements have a more concrete existence as powders. Powder processing technology conditions these primary materials to create a vast range of products, from chemicals and foods to pharmaceuticals and ceramics.

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.

Industrial canning is an important packaging step within the food processing industry for items such as beverages and tinned products. Automatic dosing and weighing systems portion out your product before distributing it into separate cans. A can seamer then folds the lid over the flange of the container, hermetically sealing the can. Some manufacturers opt for an additional plastic cap allowing consumers to re-close the can after the lid would have been peeled off.

Canning

When looking for capping equipment, it is crucial to know first which type of capper your product requires. Do you want screw caps, twist-off caps, hand pumps, or push-pull caps on your bottle or container? If you require different cap types for format changeover times can be time-consuming. The bottle cap seals the top opening of a bottle to guard the product against leakage and spoilage and sterility and filling requirements depend on the nature of your product.

Capping

At last, you reached the final stage of processing your product - welcome to the packing world! Packing preserves and protects a product from damage, spoilage, and contamination while it makes its way from the production line to the consumer or further production. Depending on which industry your products belong to, the type of primary packaging equipment can change drastically. You need to pay careful attention to products with chemicals or hazardous substances since they can be potentially dangerous to human health.

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

Battered nuts, also known as cracker nuts or Japanese style peanuts, are a variation of peanut snack products. The general manufacturing process includes peeling and slicing the peanuts, coating these with batter and seasoning, frying in oil, cooling, and packing, ready for consumption.

Battered nuts

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.

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.

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.

Aseptic filling equipment is crucial for sensitive products, as they need to be filled into their primary packaging in an environment free from contamination caused by harmful bacteria, viruses, or other microorganisms. Choosing an aseptic filling solution requires consideration of the physical form of the product, the type of primary packaging, the volume to be dosed per package, and the production speed. Aseptic fillers are widely used for cleaning, filling, and sealing pre-sterilized vials, cartridges, ampoules, and syringes in the pharmaceutical industry. Aseptic filling is also used in the food industry to process for example, dairy products that need harmful bacteria's minimized, or ensure shelf-stable products that do not require refrigeration. In these industries, aseptic equipment is integrated into the production line for maximum isolation and sterilization. And, can either be configured as an automated or manual process, depending on standards that the products require.

Industrial feeders and hoppers are used to provide a consistent, regulated flow of material to the production line for further processing. Feeders and hoppers are generally used in the industry in conjunction with other processing machines like crushers, dryers, conveyors, and mixers. Considerations for choosing a suitable feeding system include the physical state and particle size of the infeed, the output volumetric flow rate required and the type of connection to be made with the processing machinery.

Industrial cleaning equipment is used to wash or disinfect machinery and the production/warehouse area. It may also be used to sterilize the product, equipment, tools, floor or work surfaces and to purify or clean the product by removing impurities. Choosing a suitable cleaning system depends on the type of product or equipment to be cleaned, the sensitivity of the product to heat, pressure, and chemicals, and the level of sterility desired.

Cleaning

Whether it is marmalade or pizza, sauce or hummus, chocolate or fruit puree, most food products undergo a cooking step during their production process. Cooking is nothing more than applying heat to food, but there are different methods to do it. For instance, baking, frying, and roasting involve cooking food without using water, unlike boiling or steaming. Industrial cookers such as vacuum and pressure cookers, industrial fryers, industrial ovens, and industrial roasters focus on specialized applications that meet the different needs of the food industry by helping producers achieve a homogeneous cooking process.

Cooking

The heating process is a step of raising the temperature of food, pharma, cosmetics, and many other types of products. You may employ different heating solutions for this process, depending on the type of product you intend to manufacture. Selecting the appropriate heater machine for your product is quite important since various products require different ranges of temperatures and different ways of heat transfer using exchangers. Industrial heating equipment varies in two ways - the type of material it can process and the reaction you want to achieve.

Heating

When processing industrial broths, vegetable creams, or convenience foods, maintaining high-quality product integrity and hygiene standards is essential.
