Compaction Machines

Pelleting presses compact your feed granules into a homogenous mass by pushing the material through a pellet die hole while applying pressure with a roller. The compressed mix is then cut down to size in equal measurements. Used for numerous applications, pellets vary in consistency and may require further temperature control to achieve the required solidity. In order to improve pellet quality, conditioners are an important part of the pelleting press process. This step treats the powders and raw materials hydrothermally before being pressed in order to achieve high-quality pellets.

Pelleting Presses

Chemical tablet formulas allow granules to break away under the conditions you would have designed them for. Powder presses distribute particles from the stock material evenly onto molds and subject the it to pressure to produce a dense block. Powder tablets often include a precise mixture of products and presses combine the correct dosage to form multi-layered slabs ready for packaging.

Powder presses

A tablet press consists of two essential tools, namely dies and punches. It compresses powder or granules into a desired solid substance of uniform size and weight. After filling the dies with powder or granules, upper and lower punches are pressed together within the die hole to form tablets. Then the upper punches come back to their original position while the lower punches help the ejection of the tablet from the dies.

The nearly 5,000 known minerals on earth share some characteristics to be classified as minerals – they are inorganic, solid, naturally occurring elements and have a particular chemical formula and an ordered internal geometric structure. However, minerals are not all the same. One way to divide them is based on their physical characteristics such as hardness, luster, color, and shape. For example, the diamonds we use to make jewelry are very hard minerals while talc is a soft mineral; gold is a shiny mineral while others are less so.

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.

Ceramics are defined as inorganic and non-metallic materials. Tthey are typically brittle, hard, and elastic as well as resistant to heat and corrosion; in fact, after shaping them into the desired shape, they are heated in an oven called kiln at very high temperatures (1,000 °C to 1,600 °C). Kaolinite and aluminum oxide are the best-known examples of ceramics.

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

Filling lines are used extensively in all industries, such as food, pharmaceutical, chemical, and cosmetics, to accurately package different products into a container suitable for that product. Although the filling process is at the very end of the production line, it is no less important than the earlier steps. Last but not least, the idiom that dates back to 1382 when John Wyclif wrote the firste the laste, and the laste the firste, indicates just that the last things on a list are just as valuable as the previous ones. In this case, this idiom fits perfectly.

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

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.

In traditional soybean oil production, chemical solvents such as hexane are used to facilitate liquid transfer. However, it requires subsequent separation and removal of used chemical solvents to ensure the quality of the extracted oil. For organic soybean seeds, a hexane-free oil press technology offers an environment-friendly solution to producing ecological oil and feed products.


<h2>High-capacity screw press for organic soybean oil production</h2>
The organic soybean oil press by Farmet allows for pressing of oil seeds from small capacity of special crops to larger scale of up to 1000 tons per day. This is only possible due to its high efficiency and resistance of the press parts based on optimized screw press geometry design.

Following Farmet’s extrusion process, extruded soybean seeds are conveyed to this mechanical oil press. The screw press compresses and alters the structure of extruded soybeans, using heat to improve the quality of press cakes. This results in high-quality and nutritious ruminant feed. Organic soybean oil is thus pressed and flowing out through press outlet, ready for subsequent separation and filtration. In comparison with solvent extraction, Farmet’s oil press lowers the phospholipid content in soybean oil and thus enhances oil quality.

Industrial extraction equipment unlocks the valuable compounds hidden away in natural materials. Automated extraction equipment is applied in the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries to extract active compounds from medicinal plants or herbs. For example, extracting cannabinoids from cannabis plants. But the process is also fundamental to the food industry, recovering various components like aromas, oleoresins, and proteins.  Considerations for selecting suitable extraction technology include the type of plant material to be processed, the extract's heat sensitivity, and the production volume.

Extraction

Seed pelleting or encrusting is the addition of materials like powders and liquids to seeds to increase their size, shape, and weight. These processes are usually used for irregularly shaped or small seeds, such as carrots, onions, and lettuce to make planting easier and more efficient. Along with enhancing seed quality, the process also reduces seed production cost. However, there are very few seed pelleting machines that ensure uniform, heavy, and perfectly round seeds for precision-sowing in the field.

Plastic pollution is one of the biggest climate-related problems mankind has. So what are your options? A bioplastic machine can help create an alternative to traditional plastics. Bioplastics, differently from regular plastics, don’t cause environmental contamination. Also, they don’t contain harmful ingredients and additives. Even with these benefits, the annual production of bioplastics is still less than one percent of all plastic making. However, the market is witnessing steady growth due to a rise in demand.

Bioplastics

The name Canola comes from ‘Canadian Oil Low Acid’. In the 1970s researchers in Canada developed rapeseed varieties with low erucic acid and glucosinolate. These properties made the seed safe for consumption while improving its palatability. Today, the varieties are grown worldwide and include the rapeseed double-zero, as it is known in Europe. In only a few decades, canola oil and canola meal processing carved out a central role in the global food and feed industry.
