In classical Greek, oregano means “mountain adornment,” Indeed, the desiccated herb embellishes many age-old recipes. Traditionally, the fragrant leaves were collected and left to air dry in a shaded area. But that method leaves the plants exposed to open field risks such as pest attacks. Today, dried oregano processing equipment creates a hygienic environment that allows the plant to release moisture faster while retaining more natural compounds.

Rose oil is an essential oil extracted from the petals of either Rosa damascena and Rosa centifolia. Also known as liquid gold, rose oil production originated from Greece and is currently manufactured mainly in Bulgaria, Turkey, and Morocco. Studies have shown that rose oil has medicinal properties, exhibiting anti-inflammatory, anti-infective, and wound healing actions.

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.

Cotton has been used for about five millennia in ancient civilizations in America, Africa, and Asia. But up until the nineteenth century, cottonseed was not considered a product of value. The first cottonseed oil production started in 1833, consequently forming the cottonseed cake. Nowadays, we know cottonseed meal is a useful by-product for the feed industry and the fertilizer sector.

Cottonseed meal

You process flax seeds to produce linseed oil, which is used as a preservative finish for wooden materials like varnishes or paints. People also consume flax seeds as a whole seed or ground. Flax seeds production goes through drying, de-hulling or milling, and separation processes to extract the kernels, which are cleaned and ready for consumption. For oil extraction of seeds, you need to further process the kernels by pressing and refining.

The classification of sunflower seeds changes according to the pattern of its shell or hull. If the shell is solid black, it is an oilseed sunflower. With these, you produce sunflower oil. If the shell is striped, it is a non-oil sunflower seed or confectionery sunflower seed. These usually become snack food products. Whether to make them as snacks or oil, processing sunflower seeds include steps like drying, screening and cleaning, grading, roasting and de-hulling, flavoring, grinding, pressing, refining, and packing.

Continuous milling is a flow production method used to grind materials without interruption. It is often used in the production of foods, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, and minerals. The material to be processed flows in at one end and the milled output flows out at the other in a continuous process. By choosing the right combination of milling technology and processing power you can obtain the desired particle size distribution in an uninterrupted stream.

Continuous milling solutions

Fine impact mills use a high-speed rotor to pulverize the material as it passes close to a serrated stator. Considerations for choosing the right fine impact mill include the size of the feed material, the desired particle size range, and the hardness of the product.

Industrial Grinder Equipment

Grinders use a spinning blade or rotating abrasive elements to reduce the size of various materials. The specifications, RPM and grit of the engineered grinder, will result in various particle sizes. As a result, what you want to make will determine the type of grinder you need. Grinding is used for improving the texture and flow properties of various products and to enhance the flavor of food products such as coffee, spices, sugar, nuts, sesame, poppy seeds, lentils, wheat, and rice. Choosing the right rotational speed, grinding elements, and processing power allow the grinding and shredding of a wide range of materials into coarse or fine powders. Popular types of heavy duty grinders in food processing include angle grinders, bench grinders and meat grinders.

Are you into making animal feed or pet food and looking for ways to improve your production process? Let’s navigate the world of feed production technologies together!

Feed

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.

With the increase in the world population and rising concerns for environmental sustainability, the market for suitable new protein sources is expanding rapidly. Traditional agricultural methods alone can’t deliver sufficient protein to meet the projected food demand over the next decades. Insects provide an alternative source of nutrients. But insect protein does not mean direct insect consumption. Extracting protein and amino acids from farmed insects is more sustainable and efficient. Specialized insect protein processing technology is driving the transformation toward new protein sources.

Spice manufacturing is one of the world's oldest trading products. The word spice refers to any dried part of a plant other than the leaves and is used for seasoning and food coloring. Spices are made from dried barks, roots, berries, and twigs, while green leafy parts of plants are considered herbs. Well-known examples include cinnamon, chilies, star anise, ginger, garlic salt, turmeric, cumin, or pepper, as well as pre-mixed blends such as Masala, Five-Spice Powder, or Old Bay.

Cocoa butter is the fat product of cocoa liquor. It is an integral part of the chocolate-making process. To make cocoa butter, roast and process cocoa beans with the help of a cocoa butter production machine. After that, it undergoes continuous crushing – forming a rich liquid, known as cocoa liquor. You can finally press the liquid to extract cocoa butter.

Cocoa butter

Cocoa beans

Known as part of the chocolate-making process, cocoa nibs come from the beans derived from the Theobroma cocoa tree. They are nothing else but cocoa beans that have been dried, fermented, and then cracked and separated from their husk.

Cocoa nibs

Cocoa minus its fats makes cocoa powder. Deriving this culinary element follows a careful process of roasting and winnowing cocoa beans before the nibs are ground, generating a liquor. The butter that results from melting fats is removed to leave the ingredient that defines recipes from brownies to a Frostbite cocktail.

Cocoa powder

Toast spread, oatmeal topping or salad dressing - nut butter can be used in various ways. Although in a culinary sense classified as such, peanuts, almonds, cashews and pecans, the popular choices for nut butter are, botanically speaking, not nuts. They are processed in a series of nut butter processing equipment to get the creamy, rich product ready for consumption.

Nut butter

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

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.

You can’t buy happiness, but you can buy chocolate; that’s basically the same thing. We were not surprised to discover that chocolate - to be specific, cocoa beans – was so valuable that it was used as a currency in Mayan times. When making chocolate, cocoa beans need to be dried, fermented, and roasted before using chocolate making equipment to turn them into your favorite chocolate product.

Chocolate

Cocoa production and the cocoa industry uses industrial processing technology to process and manufacture high quality cocoa products in many different forms. Did you know that cacao cultivation goes back centuries - to be specific, about 5300 years? This plant, with its long history, is also known for its versatile usage. From cocoa nips to cocoa butter, cocoa becomes a base to produce multiple products, ranging from food products to cosmetics. As you may already know, chocolate products are all made from cocoa as well. Hence, depending on what you intend to produce as the end product, as well as your recipe, your cocoa processing equipment line may change.

Industrial drying machines are designed to remove moisture from your product. But the drying process must cater to variations in the state of matter and molecular structure of the input material. Industrial dryer technology exploits the modes of heat transfer (convection, conduction, radiation, evaporative cooling) to control the moisture content.

Drying

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

Roasting involves extended exposure to heat in an oven or over a fire. Depending on your end product, roasting equipment makes sure that the raw materials you put in undergo even roast intensity before they are transferred for further processing. Some roasting technologies may also be used for other cooking requirements, including toasting and drying. When thinking about roasting, the idea of roasted coffee comes to mind. However, there are a wide array of food products that go through a roasting process. For example, nuts such as almonds and cashews go through a roasting machine

When producing spices for export compliance with various <a href="https://making.com/technologies/inspection" target="_blank" rel="noopener">legal requirements</a> and specifications on food safety, hygiene, traceability and control are essential. Due to continuing problems with high levels of pesticides, preservatives, aflatoxins and food additives, as well as salmonella contamination, it is likely that controls within the spice industry will become stricter in the future.

<h2>Production processes for making spices</h2>
Gentle drying or dehydration methods, like infrared drying or microwave vacuum drying, are used to reduce moisture content and ensure shelf life, while maintaining aromas, volatile oils, and color. Classification, <a href="https://making.com/technologies/cutting" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cutting</a>, and <a href="https://making.com/technologies/grinding" target="_blank" rel="noopener">grinding</a> processes are challenged by temperature changes, wear and explosion risks. Cryogenic spice grinding techniques with nitrogen or conditioned air help to minimize loss of essential oils while grinding at sub zero temperatures. Spice mixes and blends require gentle <a href="https://making.com/technologies/mixing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">mixing </a>and <a href="https://making.com/technologies/homogenization" target="_blank" rel="noopener">homogenization </a>to create dust-free, uniform, free flowing batches but also blend up liquids such as oils, fat and other extracts.

Cinnamon is the dried inner bark of the tree species from the genus Cinnamomum, and is known for its brown color and sweet aroma and flavor. Shoots are first scraped with a semicircular blade and then rubbed with a brass rod to loosen the bark, which is split with a knife and peeled. The peels are telescoped one into another, forming a quill. After this, they are left to dry naturally for 4-5 days. However, true cinnamon thrives in a warm, wet climate thus it is necessary to use a mechanical dryer to complete the <a href="https://making.com/technologies/drying" target="_blank" rel="noopener">drying</a> process.

Producing cinnamon spice - drying process is the key!

Peppercorns are the unripe fruit of the piper nigrum plant. Collected fruits are immersed in boiling water for about 10 minutes, which causes them to turn dark brown or black in an hour. The softened outer coating is then removed by washing and rubbing or trampling. The whole peppercorns, when ground, yield black pepper. To reduce microbial load on peppers, such as TPC, E.coli, salmonella, yeast, mold, infrared drying technology can be used for <a href="https://making.com/technologies/sterilizing" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sterilization</a> of ground spices while avoiding overheating and loss of <a href="https://making.com/products/essential-oils" target="_blank" rel="noopener">essential oils</a>.
