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.

At this point, cups are automatically filled by a cup filling station. Based on the product to be packed and the shape of the cup, the filling system type changes. Afterwards the machine applies a lid on each cup by heat sealing it. When cups arrive to the cutting station, they’re cut and separated. The High clean version is provided with a tunnel with an overpressure of ultra-filtrated air. Moreover, UV rays are used to sanitize the lid film.

All machine components are in compliance with CE regulations and other hygiene standards. The machine capacity depends on the product and the volume of the cup; generally speaking, 9,000 c/h is the minimum production capacity.

When investing in a larger scale rice cake machine, marketability should be an important consideration. After all, with products like rice cakes being in a lower price range, it is important to be able to quickly react to predicted market demands and produce new types of rice cakes or any other cereal cakes (corn for example). One could say a rice cake machine for large volume production needs to have an extensive mould selection to be on par with the rice cake <em>du jour</em> to get the desired profitability.


<h2>Processing a variety of cereals like wheat rice, barley and corn</h2>
The XP CAKE6 STANDARD by Engi Technologies, is an automatic rice cake machine, suitable for several types of cereal. When the raw material, cereals like rice or corn, have the right moisture level (mostly by being soaked in water), it is entered in the machines hoppers, from where it is transferred to a mold by a horizontal system that is controlled pneumatically. A slide plate presses in on the wet cereal in the heated mold, crushing it and forming the raw material to the shape of the mold. After a short time, the plate contracts, creating more space for the cereal mass in the mold. This space leaves room for the rice or corn to pop, forming the cereal cakes. The cooking head of the machine now opens and the cakes fall on a conveyor belt and continue their journey - if so desired - a flavouring station then to a drying station and continue towards the packaging department.

The machine works with batches of six cakes and can handle up to 2,000 regular round cakes (dia. 90 – 100 mm) per hour. Several molds are available for the XP CAKE6 STANDARD to form round mini cakes, round cakes, triangular, rectangular or square cakes, made of wheat, rice, barley, corn, and various mixtures of cereals. Other than that, the machine has a connection for remote online technical support and a diagnostic remote control that is available online.

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>

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.

Bagging is the process of packaging measured portions of a product into bags that protect it from spoilage, enable easy and safe transportation, and secure the product against tampering and pilferage. The choice of bagging equipment depends on the desired mass or volume per bag, the flow characteristics of the product, and bag construction and design. Bags vary in size from small sachets to bulk flexible containers. Bagging systems are often the last processing step that is generally integrated into a production line.

Traditional HFFS machines use mechanical cams to drive the production path through the machines. Although this technology is in widespread use, these HFFS machines endure a lot of mechanical stress, and require frequent maintenance or repair. Modern servo control systems offer an immediate boost in reliability, but also an increase in throughput thanks to the ability for each station in the packing process being able to operate independently of each other.

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

The extruder was first developed to make lead pipes in the late 18th century. But the extrusion process technique quickly spread to other manufacturing sectors, including food, feed, and biomass products. An extruder machine presses a fluid or solid material through a die. Depending on your use case, extruders adopt single- or twin-screw systems to push the premixed feed material through a barrel. Thermal pressure applied in this step can chemically modify the mixture, so the screw system must be precisely calibrated to achieve the desired result. Finally, a knife head cuts the extruded material into your designed dimensions. Extrusion machinery produces items of a uniform size, shape, and consistency.

Extrusion

Many pharmaceutical production processes involve the use of products that have naturally hardened within their transport container and need to be conditioned before they are able to be used as inputs to the production process.

Conching is a critical step in the manufacturing of chocolate. In this phase, your chocolate mix is agitated and superficially scraped by a conch, allowing the cocoa butter to separate amalgamated particles and distribute your cocoa butter more evenly. The heat generated by the process volatilizes acids improving the texture and aroma of the finished product. Early machines used vessels in the shape of a conch shell, giving the equipment its name.

Conching

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

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.
