Cartoning involves erecting a folded carton, filling it with the product, closing the flaps, or applying a lid and sealing with glue or adhesive tape. Choosing a cartoning solution involves, considering the type of primary packaging, the production volume, the size and count of the product in a carton, and the desired level of automation.

<span style="font-weight: 400">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 </span><span style="font-weight: 400">chemicals or hazardous substances since they can be potentially dangerous to human health. </span>

Packing

Bakery production includes foods usually made from flour such as bread, biscuits, and cakes. Depending on the baked good you want to make, flour can be mixed with water or other ingredients producing a paste called dough or batter. The dough is then baked in the oven using dry heat. During baking, heat is transferred from the air to the dough, first on the surface and then in the center. Moisture and liquids escape through evaporation.

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.

Snacks

During the Middle Ages, sugar sweets were a delicacy only for the rich due to the high cost of sugar. Thankfully, the discovery that sugar could be extracted from sugar beets made sweets affordable for everyone. The sweet category is broad, covering chocolates, chewing gums, sugar candies, and candied/glazed products with sugar. To make these confections, sugar manufacturing equipment needs to cover different steps within the production line such as sugar dissolution, syrup cooking and cooling.

Industrial food processor for cooking ready meals in different consistencies

Process

R&amp;D

Industrial food processors are a vital component of the food processing industry. Large-scale food processing is made possible with the help of food processing equipment and automated food processing systems. Food production lines that utilize these technologies can increase efficiency, reduce costs, and maintain consistent quality control. But what exactly does an industrial food processor do? Simply put, it's a machine that processes raw materials into finished products. There are three types of food processors: batch processors, continuous processors, and combination processors. Batch processors are used for small-scale production runs, while continuous processors are ideal for high-volume production.

Food Processors

A vacuum mixer mixes ingredients in an environment devoid of air to avoid incorporation of bubbles into the mix which can lead to foaming, formation of air pockets in the final product, fouling in heat exchangers, and cavitation. Mixing speed, level of vacuum, batch volume, nature and particle size of ingredients, heating or cooling requirements are all important considerations when selecting a vacuum mixer. Vacuum mixers are widely used in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and food industries for mixing ingredients sensitive to air.

Industrial vacuum mixers

Cooking liquid and semi-solid foods like jams and sauces is a time-intensive process. Sealed thermal cookers speed up the step by cooking in a vacuum or under pressure. Besides greater time efficiency, vacuum cooker technology retains nutritional properties, texture, and flavors. The choice of a suitable thermal vacuum cooker depends on the batch size, cooking temperatures, and vacuum/pressure requirements. These parameters vary on the recipe and product type. One of the main considerations when selecting vacuum cooking technology is the cleaning process following use. An easy and quick cleaning system reduces downtime and maximizes on-site operations.

Vacuum cookers

Batch

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.

<span style="font-weight: 400">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.</span>

Heating

Industrial mixing equipment is used to combine two or more solid, liquid or gaseous segregated ingredients into a homogenous single product. The choice of mixing technology depends largely on the physical state of the ingredients and the desired final product. But the sensitivity of the ingredients, the process temperature, and pressure requirements are also critical factors. All these parameters result in a wide range of industrial mixers.

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.

Industrially manufactured soups gained traction in the 19th century when canning was invented and they have been warming us ever since. Whether it’s a classic ready-to-eat canned soup, condensed soup or a dry soup mix, soup manufacturing equipment for mixing, cooking, boiling, or sterilizing caters to every manufacturer’s production requirements.

Dft technology is a leading manufacturer of retort systems and autoclaves for thermal food processing.

Designed specifically for pouches and flexible containers

Highly efficient, minimises energy use

Rotation option available for viscous and delicate products

Steam and water spray solution ensures even heating and cooling

Particularly suited to flatter containers

Aluminium-lined pouches and plastic containers are becoming the preferred packaging choice for many ready meals, meat products and other food lines. Traditional autoclaves designed for rigid containers are very inefficient when used with modern flexible packaging. They can also be entirely inappropriate for products which require only pasteurisation. A dedicated steam and water jet autoclave designed for modern flexible packaging can considerably reduce energy costs, as well as shortening process times and improving product quality.


<h2>Steam Water spray retort designed specifically for food items in flexible packaging</h2>
The Autovap and Rotovap lines from DFT Technology have been specifically designed for the optimal processing of foods in flexible packaging. This product line’s emphasis is on reducing steam and water consumption while increasing product shelf life.

DFT’s system injects steam which is blended with fine water droplets. This results in a highly homogenous heat transfer environment within the unit, reducing processing time and increasing product quality.

Fine sprays are also used during the cooling phase, and these enter the chamber from the sides as well as above, ensuring an even and rapid cooling. This design means that even comparatively flat containers can be cooled safely and efficiently.

Rotation of the product-holding cages accelerates heat delivery to cool spots within the containers. This can reduce the processing time and increase product quality and nutritional value. Rotation is particularly suitable for the efficient processing of very viscous products.

The Autovap and Rotovap machines can be supplied with a range of batch handling solutions, from manually operated packing supports to semi-automatic and fully automatic batch loading and unloading systems.

Steam sterilizer for food pouches

Industrial autoclaves are hermetic containers that kill microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and spores by using steam under high pressure. The steam is pumped at a higher pressure than normal atmospheric pressure to reach a temperature of 121–140 °C. As steam is pumped into the main chamber of the autoclave, it replaces air and creates a vacuum seal. The pressure vessel kills pathogens and microbes, but industrial autoclaves may also be used to reinforce composite materials, and laminate surfaces. Sensitive products such as foods and pharmaceuticals typically use wet steam autoclaves to sterilize containers and instruments because moisture can penetrate tight areas. But other applications, such as wood treatment or rubber vulcanizing, may also be subjected to dry steam techniques.

Industrial autoclaves

Retort Solutions

Industrial sterilization processes are employed in different industries to completely eliminate all living microorganisms from the final product. For instance, in food processing, sterilization equipment is used to produce a stable product with a long shelf-life by eradicating harmful bio-contaminants. Instead, in the medical field, sterilization technologies aim to prevent the transmission of microbes to patients by sterilizing all the tools and medical devices that come in contact with the patient. Most sterilization equipment, such as autoclaves, employs high-temperature pressurized steam to destroy bacteria and disinfect surfaces from spores. Other methods include radiation sterilization or using chemicals such as hydrogen peroxide for disinfection.

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.

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.

Croissants

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.

Hole detection at high conveyor speeds

Wide range of packaging can be inspected

Can be easily integrated into existing production lines

Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) in the food industry is a technology that replaces the internal atmospheric air of a package with gasses in order to improve the shelf life of a food product. This makes the product last longer, improves its freshness and maintains the quality. In order to prevent problems with taste and flavour changes, an inspection machine is indispensable.


<h2>CO<sub>2</sub> escape detecting system to ensuring packaging sealing</h2>
LDS700-IoT is an inspection system designed by FTsystem that detects the escape of carbon dioxide by identifying sealing defects due to micro-holes. It is manufactured to check a wide range of products packed in bags and trays such as bread, flat bread, cheese, meat, vegan meat alternatives, salty brioche, salads, sea food or ready to eat meals. The machine is provided with two rollers that softly squeeze the entire package during its passage from the conveyor belt. If there is a leak, this overpressure contributes to the escape of gas. In an analysis chamber, suction devices check for gas that might leak from the package. If escaping CO<sub>2</sub> is detected, the system will reject the package. Since not all packages are the same, LDS700-IoT is suitable for a broad range of products in different shapes and sizes.

Inspection machine for MAP packaged food in bags and trays

Quality control procedures dictate that each bag must reach the consumer in perfect condition. Random sampling procedures do not guarantee the quality of each bag. An important step in choosing the right bag inspection equipment is identifying the critical quality control checks that ensure quality. These checks may include scanning for foreign objects, testing the bag seal, and ensuring that each bag contains the labeled amount of product. Bag inspection equipment is widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries to check the bag seal and guard the product against drying and deteriorating from exposure to the environment.

Bag inspection technology

Industrial inspection equipment is used for checking compliance with health, safety, and quality control standards. For that reason, inspection systems are most commonly utilized in the food and pharmaceutical industry but, they are also used in other industries too. Inspection solutions are often integrated into a production process or production line. Visual inspection systems perform checks to detect variation in size, shape, and color and ensure the presence of labels and closures. Check-weigh systems help ensure that product packages are not under or over-filled. Metal detection systems can help guard against the presence of foreign objects in product containers and X-ray inspection equipment is used to detect physical defects and to ensure high quality package seal integrity.

Inspection

Industrial measurement equipment is used as a crucial step before products leave the production line. These measuring instruments check for correct dosage and standards. Equipment for measurement and control employs a wide range of technologies to detect inconsistencies in volumes, sizes, weights, and fill levels as well as to inspect goods for quality against a set of criteria. Specialized measuring tools allow you to minimize the probability for error to its lowest possible, ensuring that both products and packaging meet your benchmarks.

Simple operation of the machine

Possibility for tailored models for custom designs

Every canned pet food producer knows that their product should avoid the growth of microorganisms that could spoil the product. If processed correctly, this should be no problem, but testing of the canned product is still an important part of the production. A leak, even a small one could easily lead to oxygen in the contents, which will lead to the growth of the undesired microorganisms.


<h2>Sample testing by using a dedicated mold, creating a vacuum</h2>
The Can Leak Tester of Oxipack is made to test for both regular leaks, as well as micro leaks in products that have a rigid airtight packaging, for all kinds of vacuum and can packings. The equipment uses mold inserts that fit the shape of the solid packaging of products like blister tablets, ready meals and canned products such as pet food or milk powder. For these canned products, the machine has a rubber membrane in a bell jar to fit the shape of the can. The bell jar drops down over the packaging the create a vacuum in the created space. A change in pressure would show up as a leak, thus detecting faulty packaging.

If the can has a leak, this is shown by a change in the pressure in the measuring bell jar. The packaging itself remains intact.

An advantage of the machine is that the testing is done without damaging the packaging. This results in less packaging waste and fewer defective products ending up with the consumer. The difference in pressure is measured in 30 seconds by creating a pressure of 700 mbar. This will detect leaks as small as 10 µm.
