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.

Nuts

Whether for personal consumption or agricultural purposes, you process seeds to make them clean and maximize yield. Seed processing equipment includes the steps of polishing, threshing, separation, sorting, and drying. Some cases require additional processes. For example, the extraction of the seed from fruits or vegetables. Or, pressing the seed to extract oil.

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.

Sweets

To make candy, all you need to do is create a syrup by dissolving sugar and boiling it to your desired consistency. For medium to large scale candy production, candy making equipment fully automates the whole process and takes care of other production regulations and standards (such as hygiene and proper homogenization). Planning on getting one? There’s a wide range of choices to pick from.

Candy

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

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.

Among all dosage forms in use today, tablets constitute the most common one. They are pharmaceutical solid dosage forms containing active ingredients and excipients such as diluents, binders, glidants, and lubricants. Using tablet making equipment, these solid dosage forms are made by compression of granules or powder blends and then shaped by molding.

Tablets

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

Can it be said that we live in the Plastic age? Basically, yes. From pillows over toothbrushes, and packaging to utensils, plastic is a widely used material in our day-to-day lives. But what is it? Plastics are synthetic or semi-synthetic materials built of polymers that are easily shaped into various structures with the help of plastic processing equipment such as extruders and molders.

Plastics

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.

To coat your consumer products with color or taste-enhancing substances, specialized technologies are available that ensure all the contents are individually and evenly covered. The process starts with loading your goods onto rotating drums, exposing the products to spray nozzles that treat them with your prescribed coating formula.

Tablet coating involves applying a thin layer of coating material to pharmaceutical tablets, which requires controlled temperature, humidity, and air quality. This process typically consumes significant energy and contributes to high costs and environmental impact. To address this, an advanced energy monitoring system can be integrated into your coater for a more sustainable process. Additionally, by implementing heat recovery in the ventilation system, the excess heat generated can be captured and repurposed, reducing waste.


<h2>Evenly coat your tablets using automatic and adjustable spray nozzles</h2>
The BFC 400 from L.B. Bohle is a film coater equipped with 8 adjustable spray nozzles inside a long drum with patented helical baffles. The tablets are sprayed on a flat tablet bed while mixed gently and thoroughly by the helical baffles, which helps prevent the products from twinning. The system’s controlled air movement allows for improved coating structure of the tablets with minimal spray and suspension losses.

The system comes with an iFix control system featuring a large sight glass and a small nozzle arm for good visibility of the coating process. The machine allows fully automatic sampling and feeding even with the door closed for additional safety features. The system can be rapidly discharged by reversing the rotational direction of the pan and by tilting. The machine is also equipped with a CIP system for easy cleaning. A cleaning lance is provided at the bottom of the unit and an enlarged drain pipe allows quick draining of cleaning agents without leaving residues. Optional features include integrated energy control and heat recovery in the ventilation system for a more sustainable operation.

Coating

solid

Tablet coating requires spraying, mixing, and drying procedures that must be carried out simultaneously under strict conditions to maintain the coating's stability. For a high-quality result, liquid coatings must be applied uniformly to every tablet to protect them from light and moisture.
<h3>Spray, mix, and dry tablets quickly and evenly</h3>
The Tablet Coaters BTC from Bohle is a system that combines mixing, spraying, and drying, to produce uniformly coated tablets. The system consists of a flat tablet bed with a long pan that sprays the tablets while being mixed carefully and continuously by helical baffles. The systematic forced guidance in the pan keeps the load in constant motion, preventing twinning and loss of solids and coating. Thanks to the elongated pan, the flat tablet bed allows minimum static pressure, which helps prevent the tablets’ breakage.

Emptying the system can be done quickly by reversing the rotational direction of the pan. Air is supplied and exhausted through the perforated pan to quickly dry the spray-coated tablets. The system is equipped with a multi-panel display for operation controls and can be integrated with CIP system.

Large-volume vegetable and field crop seeds manufacturers may prefer a fully automated coating and drying process, which provides better integration of these production steps and easy operation of the system. An advanced system that combines the coating and drying processes of seeds allows the products to be ready for packaging as soon as they come out of the unit.


<h2>Coating and drying of seeds in a fully automated unit</h2>
The FDM-4200 Rotary Dryer Coater from Seed Processing Holland is a fully automatic system that encompasses both the coating and drying process of vegetable and field crop seeds. The process starts with seeds fed from the hopper while the operator sets the recipe from a touchscreen panel. Then, the seeds are fed to the coating chamber with a spinning disc fitted at the center. This spinning disc rotates at a variable speed while dosing the coating liquid to the seeds, according to the preset mixture. Then the seeds are simultaneously dried inside using dehumidified and heated air. The temperature of the airflow can also be set and regulated during the entire process. The output seeds are then allowed to cool on a cooling screen and get ready for packing.

The system also allows simultaneous or sequential pumping of coating liquids for multiple layer applications. The whole process is done in a closed environment, independent from ambient conditions, making it suitable for fungicide and pesticide applications.

Rotary Seed Dryer Coater

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

When it comes to expensive chemical solutions and suspensions that need to be applied on a substrate to create a coating, precision and uniformity are watchwords. Achieving this degree of precision is possible with an ultrasonic spraying system that works with easy to control low-pressure, low-speed spray. No more over spraying of material which translates into less material waste and more savings.


<h2>High performance system for depositing thin film coating on solar cells</h2>
The UAM6000 designed by Cheersonic is an industrial-grade spraying system suitable for medium and large-scale producers, where the machine produces the coating with the use of high-frequency sound vibrations. This ultrasonic solution opens up to a broad range of applications like sensors, solar cells, photoresists, PCB (Printed Circuit Board), fuel cells, glass (e.g., optical lenses, electrochromic glass, flat panel displays, oleophobic coating, or touch screens).

The machine is fitted with a syringe pump that moves the liquid to the ultrasonic nozzle that vibrates longitudinally. Ultrasonic technology converts high-frequency sound waves to mechanical energy, forming standing waves on the tip of the spray nozzle. When the liquid comes out of the nozzle, waves are separated into small droplets. As they reach a critical amplitude, the liquid is sprayed out as a mist. The maximum effective spraying area is 500*500mm. One important feature of the UAM6000 is the constant flow of the syringe pump in which the liquid can flow without interruption.

Compared to conventional technology, the ultrasonic coating system has the ability to deposit droplets in a very gentle and accurate way on the substrate due to a low-pressure and low-velocity spray. By using very little pressure, the nozzle doesn’t clog, and the drops bouncing effect is eliminated.

Biotech equipment is used for cellular and biomolecular processing to develop products that improve our lives and the planet. With the help of specialized lab equipment, the active substance is manufactured or extracted from biological origin materials and typically produced in bioreactors by plant cells, microbial cells, yeast cultures, or mammalian cells. Cell isolation, cultivation, cell banking, and culture expansion are called upstream processes. After harvest, the production process moves into a downstream process to meet purity and quality requirements which is divided into cell disruption, purification, and polishing. Biotechnology equipment makes use of various laboratory machinery such as bioreactors, centrifuges and incubators.

Dosing systems are a line of hoppers, feeders, filling machines, and checkweighers that operate in sync to dispense materials accurately. Dosing is an essential feature of the packaging process, whether you’re filling shampoo bottles or tea bags. But dosing equipment is critical for formulations, too, particularly in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. Imprecise dosing may cause quality degradation in the best-case scenario. In the worst scenario, it creates serious health risks.

Dosing

liquid

Ultrasonic spraying technology has the ability to create a thin and uniform nanoparticle coating using a low-velocity spray that realizes a precise targeted spray pattern. The low speed allows for a gentle touch and high controllability of the spray that will lower the waste of expensive material. There are even ultrasonic spraying systems suitable for scientific research institutions and for manufacturers with small volume production.


<h2>Benchtop system for creating uniform coating on fuel cells</h2>
With the UAM4000L, Cheersonic developed a solution that creates a coating using ultrasound technology. The system meets market needs in a wide range of industries and applications for the spraying of glass (e.g., optical lenses, electrochromic glass, flat panel displays or oleophobic coating), fuel cells, solar cells, sensors, PCB (Printed Circuit Board), semiconductors and photoresists.

The machine is provided with a syringe pump that moves the liquid to the ultrasonic nozzle that vibrates longitudinally. Ultrasonic technology converts high-frequency sound waves to mechanical energy, forming standing waves on the tip of the spray nozzle. When the liquid comes out of the nozzle, waves are separated into small droplets. As they reach a critical amplitude, the liquid is sprayed out as a mist. Compared to conventional technology based on pressure nozzles, the ultrasonic coating system has the ability to deposit droplets in a very gentle and accurate way on the substrate due to a low-pressure and low-velocity spray. By using very little pressure, the nozzle doesn’t clog, and the drops bouncing effect is eliminated.

Ultrasonic spraying system for small scale coating and research processes

During the coating process, tablets pass many stages that can make them wet and sticky or crack and split around the edges. These damages can be caused by under or over-heating during spraying or poor spreading of spray droplets associated with inaccurate spray atomization. The high technology tablet coater allows an automatic adjustment control of the flow, avoiding the damp in drum, saving coating, and optimizing the processing time.
<h2>Coating tablets using a perforated, rotating coating drum</h2>
The  Tablet Coater from Romaco Tecpharm is a film coating machine based in perforated coating pan technology. Uncoated tablets (or pellets) can be fed to the rotating drum of the machine, in which flow-directing panels gently mix the tablets. A central nozzle arm sprays the coating film on the tablets and a flow of heated air evaporates the solvent.

Using sonar technology, the product load in the drum is detected (without any manual operation) and all the parameters for the coating process are automatically adjusted, such as distance and position of the spray guns, inlet and exhaust airflow and temperature, path and flow of the air, etc. The capacity of the machine ranges from 0,5 Kg to 600 Kg. Adding an automatic cleaning system is optional.

Formulation technologies are an integral process in many industries such as pharma and food. Chemical mixtures require strict handling to combine the separate ingredients into the homogenized recipe that makes your final product. Formulation technology stores, mixes and subjects the elements to a range processing parameters according to your specifications to develop the base material. The resulting formulas are then weighed, formed, packaged, or sent for further formulation.

Formulation

Tablet coating can be applied for adding colours or glosses, or based around sugar in order to increase palatability. Some coatings also increase stability where some have an active or functional pharmaceutical property and can directly affect the means that the primary dose is released. When used for development or small batch production, a full-size coater is too large to be feasible. You need a flexible solution to coat tablets in an even and controlled way.
<h2>Flexible tablet coater for research and development</h2>
The Laboratory Tablet Coater from Romaco Tecpharm is designed to produce the film coating of tablets or pellets, suitable in aqueous and organic coatings. It is important to optimise processes before industrialization. Therefore, to minimise time and cost risks, the tablet coater for laboratory scale is used for testing purposes prior to industrialization.

The equipment controls each critical variable, such as applied liquid flow, air flow, air temperature, tablet temperature during the process, and the turning speed of the pan drum,  which  ensures a state of balance between continuing processes. Being a R&amp;D equipment, controlling different variables allows you to decide changing which variable could best optimize your production process.

The standard equipment is suitable to work with interchangeable drums from 0.5 to 2 kg. With a perforated coating pan, the equipment allows different capacity to be processed without need to change the drum.

High-quality powder coatings are often required to manufacture equipment, appliances, and vehicles to ensure product durability and longevity. A combined dry grinding and classifying system can significantly help to improve the quality of powder coatings production by providing steep particle size distribution. To achieve the finest uniform powder coatings, the mixture of pigment, polymer resin, and other additives must be finely pulverized.


<h2>Classifier mill to grind brittle material dry, free-flowing, and fine powders</h2>
The Impact Classifier Mill ICM by NEUMAN &amp; ESSER is designed for grinding brittle material to superfine particles such as materials for powder coatings. It combines efficient impact grinding and precise classification technology. During impact grinding, grinding tools throw feed materials into the liner and crush it. The classifier separates coarse particles and sends them back to the mill’s grinding zone for further grinding. It effectively achieves grinding cuts and narrow particle size distribution of 20 μm to 1,000 μm. The throughput of the various mill sizes and designs can range from 10 kg/hr to 20,000 kg/hr. In addition, the large grinding chamber has cooler temperatures that result in lower fines generation.

The ICM employs direct drive technology, a type of permanent-magnet synchronous motor. It removes using a gearbox and oil supply in its rotor, making the mill easy to operate and clean. In addition, the mill is pressure shock resistant up to 11 bar, a must when grinding for powder coatings.

Classifying

Milling machines are used to reduce the size of material by cutting, crushing, or grinding it. The choice of industrial milling equipment depends on the industry and the materials to work with. Besides, there is a significant difference between those aimed to remove layers from metal or other materials workpieces and those designed to reduce particle size for materials that come in bulk.

Milling

Seed coating, also known as seed dressing, refers to the covering of seeds with external fluids, biologicals, chemicals, dry powder and solutions to protect the seeds, enhance germination and improve immunity. A common challenge for this process is that these materials may spill. Thus, in order to optimize the treatment process, it is essential to use equipment such as a seed coating machine that will reduce the workers' exposure.


<h2>Boost Productivity With an Automated Seed Coating Machine</h2>
Designed by Seed Processing Holland , the RDC’s (800 – 500 and 300) are advanced high speed seed film coaters with an integrated dryer. It simultaneously coats and dries agricultural and vegetable seeds, applying a higher percentage of liquid to allow direct packaging of the seeds once the process is completed. Furthermore, this seed coating machine uses a high-grade film coating formula and pays special attention to the drying speed, film formation and coverage. To ensure an optimal process, the unit controls the seed temperature. It also features a special rotating movement that helps achieve an equal and even seed coating. It is also worth mentioning that to increase the success rate of seeds coating, it is highly recommended that the seeds go through a <a href="https://making.com/equipment/seeds-blowing-machine-for-separation/">seed cleaning process</a> beforehand.

Moreover, the air humidity and temperature of the airflow created during the dressing process are adjustable, enabling operators to regulate and control the entire process. Since it’s a closed system, it’s also suitable for insecticides and fungicides applications.

The RDC 800 boasts a window and lighting in the cover, so you can control the process visually as well. Its modular design further makes it easy to clean, while its nickel-plated coating chamber protects it from excessive wear. The nickel-plating helps even more than stainless steel to protect the machine from corrosion.

Lastly, the RDC-800 has a capacity between 20 and 52 litres of seed per batch and is ideal for vegetable, grains, and flower seeds for large scale operations. Users can pack the output as soon as they are discharged.

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

<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>

Enrobing your food products means coating them with additional ingredients such as chocolate, syrup, or sugar. By automating this process you produced homogeneous results and reduce wastage. Items are fed to the enrobing machine to be fully or partially covered. Following this, a blower and an agitator combine to shake any excess coating off the individual products.

Enrobing

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Many pharmaceutical doses in tablet form require a coating before they are ready for use. These layers can be purely visual, providing a color difference, or may be based around sugars in order to increase palatability. Some coatings also have an active pharmaceutical property or can directly affect the means that the primary dose is released. For use in an R&amp;D situation, a full size coater is inefficient and too large to be viable. Smaller standalone jacketed coating machines offer a much more economical and efficient solution.</span>

When pelleting large batches of seeds like flower, vegetable, or agricultural types, it is important for manufacturers to achieve uniformity of product size and shape. Through accurate dosage of coating elements and proper movement during the coating process, pellet products of consistent size and shape can be achieved.


<h2>Coating seeds through a rotating chamber with accurate dosage of coating mixture</h2>
The PRM-4210 Rotary Pelleting Machine from Seed Processing Holland is a system that coats seeds to produce pellets. The process starts with feeding the seeds into a weighing bin from two vibratory feeders –one for course dosage, and the other for fine dosage, until it reaches the desired weight. Then it is fed into the pelleting chamber where it is constantly rotated, with the use of a rotor. In the meantime, a preset amount of liquid and coating powder is dosed automatically until the desired pellet size is achieved. The 3-dimensional movement of the seeds from constant rotation allows for a good build-up of the pellets.

The system features a high-pressure fan where the air is blown under the rotor to avoid clogging between the rotor and chamber wall. The speed of the rotor can also be adjusted by the operator. The system is equipped with a transparent plastic hatch cover with a grip for easy visibility. Seed calibration and drying processes can be added optionally.

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.

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.

To produce multiple sponge cake varieties and keep up with the changing industry trends, a production line requires versatility. The line must be ready to produce new products without having to go through a time-consuming format changeover. A unit that can switch formats in minutes is ideal to save time and speed up your production.

The TT Italy Sponge Cake Production Line uses a turbo mixer to prepare the batter and cream materials. A roller depositor then dispenses a layer of batter on the oven belt. The line can prepare decorations before everything moves into the baking area.
After moving through the baking and cooling sections, the cakes will reach a workbench section where a longitudinal cutter and syrup dosing unit work. A filling dispenser is also suitable for filled goods.
A transversal cutter will create the proper cuts measured for your use. An ultrasonic cutter can also work with items with heavy cream content, preventing the squeezing of filling while cutting, ensuring end product uniformity and desired looks.

Aerators are devices used for mixing air (oxygen transfer) with a liquid such as water or oil to form a homogeneous product. Selecting an industrial aeration system involves choosing a suitable mixing head and considering the desired input and output flows, temperature, level of aeration, properties of the liquid phase, and the degree of automation and pressure control. Aerators are used in the food industry for the production of fat-based center masses and crèmes and in the chemical industry for wastewater treatment. When it comes to water treatment, surface aerators are most commonly used.

Aeration

Industrial cooling equipment varies according to the consistency and temperature conversion demands the material you are handling, but the process typically involves heat exchange treatment as your products are conveyed through a cooling chamber equipped with extraction fans or circulating water. Temperature control is a crucial aspect of your commercial production and cooling systems are applied to a range of industries.

Cutting

Depositing equipment is a very common production line process in the food industry. Whether you want to make muffins or jellies or garnish and decorate cakes, all of this is impossible without the depositing step. Depositing is a form of extrusion used primarily to produce pieces of dough that will be further processed to create several food products. The dough is passed through a depositing machine and poured in equal parts from holes in a die plate with nozzles or a conveyor belt. But that’s not all. Depositors are also used to fill, layer, or cover your food items with other ingredients before proceeding to the next step of the production process which is usually packaging.

Depositing

An emulsifier is used to mix two immiscible liquids. Heating or cooling requirements during emulsification, overpressure or vacuum requirements, the need for wall scrapers, design of the mixing head, the viscosity of the liquids, and the desired droplet size are all important considerations when selecting an emulsifying system. Emulsifiers are typically used in the food industry for the production of batters, creams, and sauces, in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industry for the production of creams and lotions, and in the chemical industry for the production of paint and other emulsions.

Emulsifying

The process of forming allows you to shape your products homogeneously. Forming machines are fed the manufactured material in bulk and cut it down to specification, so the process takes place between formulation of the mass and the packaging of the final item.

A special class of this equipment – Form, Fill, and Seal Machines (FFS) – creates bags and pouches from flat material such as plastic sheets, fills them with your designated product, and seals them.

Forming

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.

The average corn cob has 800 kernels, but each of those comes from one tiny grain. The quality of corn farming rests on the conditions of foundation lots. And these depend on the integrity of the process. Corn seed processing equipment prepares the grains so they can grow into multiple products ranging from food to energy to cosmetics.

Long was the time when you could only make dragée chocolate – or, to simplify it, to cover chocolate with a layer of chocolate or sugar and then polish it or not. Now, you can use a chocolate panning machine to offer different types of dragée items. Mind that the process of panning may slightly differ according to the product you are making.

Around 1860, American businessman James Spratt made dog biscuits by mixing vegetables, flour, beetroot, and meat. His novel idea came after he noticed dogs eating leftover biscuits from ships in England. Following the commercial success in Britain, he started production in America, and it didn’t take long before others developed their own baked pet food formulas. But the need for more palatability led to experiments beyond the oven. In 1956, extruded dry pet food production made its splash on the market.

In the feed sector, it's common to talk about feed as balanced, compound, or concentrate. Many people use one of these terms to refer to any feed mill product. However, the processing of feed concentrates, only requires grinding and mixing. The further transformation into pellets adds is an added value for the market.

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.

In NASA's early years, a research program was established on how to provide food for astronauts while in space. In fact, in the 1960s, nutrition bars were launched with a label called "Space Food Sticks" because they were designed to allow astronauts to eat them easily while wearing their helmets. Protein bar manufacturing equipment is used to mix ingredients, extrude the mixture at a set temperature, cool the product before cutting it to size, coating it, and allowing it to cool to prepare it for packaging.

Extracting sugar from beets became popular in continental Europe during the Napoleonic Wars due to the British blockades of cane sugar. This is thanks to the high sugar content derived from this crop. Also known by its scientific name, "beta vulgaris", The beets’ popularity steadily rose afterwards and today, 20% of all sugar in the world comes from beets. But all of this can't be possible without its seeds. The production and processing of sugar beet seeds includes different steps such as cleaning, priming, pelleting and coating.

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.
