The rapeseed flower evolved high concentrations of substances that are anti-nutritive at best and toxic at worst. But new varieties developed in the 1970s lowered the content of glucosinolates and erucic acids. From then, the use of oilseed rape spread to several applications, from edible oil to biofuel to animal feed. Rapeseed oil processing technology has thus become foundational to industries spanning food production, energy, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals.

Fish oil was a folk remedy long before scientists identified the nutritional value of essential fatty acids. But Omega 3 processing has come a long way since the days of raw fish parts fermenting in a barrel. In fact, new supplement formulations of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) may not use fish at all.

Omega 3 oil

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

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.

A beverage is any kind of liquid or drink, usually other than water, made for human consumption. Beverages are further classified into two categories: alcoholic beverages and non-alcoholic beverages. Alcoholic beverages refer to liquids that contain 1% to 75% of liquor and are produced by fermentation such as wine, beer, or distillation such as vodka, rum, tequila. Non-alcoholic beverages are drinks that don’t have any liquor such as tea, coffee, fruit juices, soft drinks, and carbonated beverages. They can be produced premix or postmix, depending on the setup of your production line.

Cannabinoids are natural compounds obtained from the Cannabis sativa plant. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol or THC is a psychotropic substance. Cannabidiol, or CBD, is non-psychotropic and often used for nutraceutical purposes. Cannabinoid equipment extracts THC and CBD from the plant and prepares the substance for formulations that treat pain, nausea, anxiety, and inflammations. Cannabinoids are processed in various forms, including creams, capsules, and oils.

Cannabinoids

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.

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.

Eating is more than just nutrition, but we have found ways to increase the nourishing power of our foods. Nutraceuticals manufacturing, from vitamin C powder and probiotics to omega 3 oil, is a concentration of natural ingredients and health supplements that complement our diets. While dietary supplements are not quite haute cuisine, the process of extraction and purification is no less a blend of science and art.

Nutraceuticals

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

Ancient civilizations discovered that plant extracts were useful for the treatment of pathologies. The origin of plant extraction cannot be specifically verified, but we can infer that the earliest attempts at plant extraction were more intuitive than scientific. Today, the extraction of compounds is a precise process with plant extraction systems complimenting traditional knowledge.

Industrial feeding systems allows you to control the flow of solid bulk materials throughout the manufacturing line. After loading your material onto the vibrating hopper, a screw at the base drives it out in uniform doses to the next stage of processing. New feeding technologies are designed to deal with challenges of powders clumping together in the hopper (bridging and ratholing) that interrupt the outflow. Common feeder systems include centrifugal feeders, vibratory feeders as well as elevator, linear and pneumatic feeders.

Hemp, as a plant, can be used to produce textiles, organic compost, fuel, and even food. The main processes of the hemp seed are sieving, grading, and dehulling or removal of the shell that covers the seeds. For these processes to happen, hemp farmers will need suitable processing equipment. These seeds can be used to create an oil with a by-product known as hemp cake or hemp meal. This by-product is used as a base substance for producing hemp protein powder. It is due to these by-products that the hemp industry is constantly growing globally.
