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.

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 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.

Efficient frying oil turnover rate

Low frying oil volume 

Advanced paper filtration system 

Integrates into a mainframe for a clean design  

Starts at 500kg/h output

Frying was an early method for preserving food. The most common technique, immersing foods in boiling oils, dehydrates the items and decreases microbial growth. But even with alternative decontamination and preservation methods, frying remains a popular cooking technique. The oils add complexity to the natural flavors and textures of foodstuffs. One of the main challenges of fried products is maintaining oil freshness. Industrial frying equipment processes large volumes of food homogeneously by strictly controlling the temperatures in the frying chamber. However, oil efficiency is also crucial, and temperature control must balance oil levels in the line.

<h3>Precleaning technology is vital nut processing equipment</h3>
Harvested tree nuts bring plenty of contaminants into the plant. Before processing them, ensure that the nuts are free from surface pathogens and foreign objects.

Separate the nuts from hollow shells, stems, and other materials using screens of different mesh dimensions. A series of sorters will then calibrate the valuable nuts into equal sizes. Subject the nuts to high-pressure air blowers to rid them of debris and small particle residues.

Drying the nuts makes them easier to crack. Heating the cleaned lots in a cabinet dryer hardens the shells and facilitates hulling.

But reduced water content makes the meat more brittle and could decrease yield at the end of the processing line. An effective technique is moistening the nuts to soften them and applying gentle heating to harden the shells. The processed nuts can be dried thoroughly after the hulling step is performed.

Add moisture to protect nuts from breakage during processing

The hulling operation is a delicate step during processing. Nut cracking machinery risks damaging the kernels, leading to wastage or poor quality.

Nut varieties, from peanuts to walnuts, have different shell structures that require specific equipment configurations. The cracking process is performed in two steps. Pre-awning technology first applies gentle pressure to weaken the shell before a second line completes the cracking. Empty hulls are blown into a collection bin and separated from the nuts.

Accurate hulling is a tough nut to crack

<h3>Blanche the nuts to prepare them for peeling</h3>
Nuts can be peeled, mainly for further processing, like <a href="https://making.com/chocolate-spread" target="_blank" rel="noopener">hazelnuts for chocolate spreads</a> or almonds for marzipan.

Blanche the kernels to relax the skins. Blanching technology subjects the processed nuts to scalding water for a brief period before submerging them in cold water. Finally, pass the nuts through the revolving rolls of a peeler to skin them.

Enzymes in the nuts <a href="https://www.pilipushers.com/single-post/2018/02/15/what-you-should-know-about-how-nuts-are-processed" target="_blank" rel="noopener">protect them from insect</a> attacks, but they slow down digestion when consumed by humans. Moreover, these proteins accelerate the chemical breakdown of the kernels. Inactivate the enzymes to extend the shelf life of nuts and promote good digestion.

Soaking the lot in water breaks down the phytic acid content and neutralizes the enzymes. This process also helps release nutrients producing higher-quality nuts, especially if you’re packaging raw nuts.

Neutralize enzymes to prolong  the shelf life of nuts

Coat the nuts to give them a surprising final taste. Place the roasted nuts in a coating machine where a rotating drum agitates the individual kernels as the sprayer sprinkles the coating ingredient on them.

Everybody knows the <a href="https://making.com/peanuts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">salted peanut</a> and the sugar-coated pecans. But alternative coating ingredients create new complex flavors, such as coconut-coated cashews or caramel-coated walnuts.

Try alternative coatings to mix up the flavors

<h3>Use frying technology to produce oil roasted nuts</h3>
Nut snacks owe their popularity to their texture. Roasting boosts the crunchiness and crispiness of nuts.

There are two ways of <a href="https://making.com/roasted-nuts" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nut roasting</a>: dry roast and oil roast. The first method involves placing the processed nuts in a cooking cabinet or roaster without additives. Oil roasting is usually performed in a fryer, immersing nuts in oils at high temperatures as they absorb the fats.

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

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

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.

Vacuum and Gas Injection System for FIBCs

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.

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.

Frying is one of the most common preparation methods for nut snacks. Oils bring out distinctive flavors, textures, and aromas, but the absorption percentage in nuts is significantly lower than for other products. For this reason, an efficient system is necessary to achieve an adequate rate of oil turnover in order to maintain the quality of frying oil.


<h2>Increase the frying oil turnover rate while reducing the total volume</h2>
The NU frying plant by Kuipers requires up to 40% less oil volume than conventional systems. Lower oil volume facilitates faster oil turnover time, ensuring better frying oil quality across the production process.

Equipped with an optimized product transportation system, the frying plant efficiently routes nuts and unwanted particles to an advanced paper filtration unit. Besides preventing oil deterioration caused by any nut residue, this method further contributes to lowering overall oil volume.

The NU frying plant integrates into a complete nut processing line with 500 kilograms per hour output capacity.
