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.

Fruit pulp is a mass of pressed fresh fruit not meant for immediate consumption. Production of fruit pulp avoids wasting food and preserves the flavors and nutrient value of the fruit product. Processed fruit pulp is an ingredient in beverages, sauces, baby foods, jellies, smoothies, and bakery products.

Tradition and manufacturing procedures dictate the distinction between fruit juice, puree, and pulp. Still, naming and labeling are complex and depend on regulations, type of fruit, texture, consistency, preservation methods, and sugar or solid content (measured in Degrees Brix). Depending on your desired output, there are various fruit pulper machines for different stages of production that make the process quicker and more efficient.

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

<p class="filterable-grid__description">Liquid dosage forms are designed for easy absorption. The body quickly carries the active ingredients through the system and triggers the required response. But the greatest advantage of this medicinal type is its flexibility in formulation and dispensation. From lotions and syrups to drops and sprays, liquid solutions can be adapted to different administration routes including parenteral, topical, and oral. The fundamental liquid dosage manufacturing process involves dissolving or suspending solutes in a fluid. But that is not enough. A precise blend of excipients is needed to make the medicine go down.</p>

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.

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.

Minerals

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.

Chemicals

We carry dozens of metals around every day. The ubiquitous smartphone is built with no less than 20 metals, each with specific behaviors and purposes. Metals are a pervasive class of materials that have defined entire eras of human development. It is no exaggeration to say that metal processing equipment is the core of our metallic world. But, paradoxically, this manufacturing technology itself is mainly made of metal.

Metal

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.

Ceramics

Biopharmaceuticals are drugs in which the active substance is manufactured or extracted from biological origin materials. They are usually produced in bioreactors by plant cells, microbial cells, yeast cultures, or mammalian cells. Also known as biomanufacturing, they are used to either treat or diagnose and prevent a patient’s medical condition or disease. Biopharmaceuticals are typically complex macromolecules administered by injection or infusions, and examples include vaccines, serums, and insulin.

For large scale production processes in the chemicals or food industries that require the coarse or fine screening of difficult materials, traditional sieves do not provide sufficient throughput. A high volume rectangular sieve can process large quantities consistently, and the addition of multifrequency vibration makes them capable of extremely high efficiency.


<h2>Specialist heavy-duty sieve for large scale industrial processes</h2>
The RS 2010.1 from Virto has been conceived specifically for the coarse to fine separation of particles from large volumes of dry materials and powders, but is also available in a special version for use with liquid slurries. Designed to be robust enough to handle heavy industrial and mining/quarry use, the RS 2010.1 is also suitable for lighter and more delicate materials such as metal powders and fine particulate slurries.

Driven by a single energy efficient motor consuming only 2.8kW, the RS 2010.1 uses patented MFVexcite technology to create multifrequency vibrations. This accelerates the particle impact to the mesh from the typical 5G found in standard equipment to 500G. As well as increasing screening effectiveness this also eliminates clogging of the 1.6m2 mesh surface.

Constructed of solid carbon steel as standard, it is also available in stainless steel for speciality operations. The RS 2010.1 has been built to withstand extreme operating conditions and environments with minimal maintenance and downtime.

Industrial cleaning equipment is used to wash or disinfect machinery and the production/warehouse area. It may also be used to sterilize the product, equipment, tools, floor or work surfaces and to purify or clean the product by removing impurities. Choosing a suitable cleaning system depends on the type of product or equipment to be cleaned, the sensitivity of the product to heat, pressure, and chemicals, and the level of sterility desired.

Cleaning

Some industries, such as petrochemical, generate large volumes of oily wastewater due to the amount of oil used. Oil and water separation is a big challenge as their densities are close, emulsion occurs, and prolonged separation time. The right centrifuge has to take all these factors into account and then must be able to handle the continuous, large capacity operation and fast separation.


<h2>Extracting two immiscible liquids</h2>
The RINA SRP S by Riera Nadeu is super centrifuges used to separate two non-miscible liquid phases of different densities, such as the purification of fuel oil, organic and inorganic products liquid/liquid separation, contractors oil purification, and many others. It has a vertical decanting tubular bowl centrifuge, turning very high speed (15.000G mini). During separation, an appropriate diaphragm and collectors capture the heavy liquid and supernatant light phase separately. Adjusting the feed rate will set the residence time of the product inside the decanting rotor.

The RINA SRP S offers easy operation and requires low maintenance. The full opening casing installed functions to lower noise emissions, guarantee the centrifuge's safe operation, and easier extraction from the front side per GMP requirements.

Tumbler sieve for classifying and dedusting granular materials

Dedusting is the process of removing dust particles and other undesirable particles from products. Certain products, especially those in the food and pharma industry need to meet strict quality standards. And therefore, fine dust needs to be effectively removed to meet those standards. In order to get started, you will need specific dedusting systems. You can almost think of dedusting as a sort of vacuum cleaning process. Dedusting equipment generally uses compressed air to create a suction that is able to separate the dust from the product. For example, pharmaceutical tablets needs to be dedusted in order for the product to be safe for consumption. Pellets are another common product that require dedusting.

Dedusting

Dry, saturated steam can be used to sterilise pharmaceutical manufacturing equipment, and active pharmaceutical ingredients. The water should be sufficiently pure after condensation for use in intravenous applications, as well as non-parenteral treatments applied externally to the body.

The supply of high quality seeds is essential as it significantly contributes to the success of every crop. Due to the numerous health benefits of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, etc., the demand for high-quality seeds has increased worldwide. However, the seed quality is greatly affected by the seed extraction method, and there are very few machines that can extract the seeds without damaging the seed quality.


<h2>Damage-free extraction of seeds</h2>
The EMM-1100 by Seed Processing Holland can extract seeds from vegetable fruit crops, such as sweet pepper, eggplants, cucumber, melon, tomato, and from hard skin fruit crops, such as small pumpkins and squash, without damaging the extracted seeds.

The fruits are first put into the hopper, and then into a crushing mechanism, where they’re crushed into smaller chunks with rotating pins. The upper pins are designed to be sharper, so hard-skinned fruits can be crushed easily without damaging the seeds.

Boasting an innovative beater design that separates larger fruit parts from the juice and seeds, integrated nozzles that enable operators to flush the machine out during the extraction process, high-quality materials, and individual speed adjustment of the lower and upper beaters, the EMM-1100 minimizes residual formation and ensures that the seeds are not damaged. Lastly, it makes three separations - seeds, juices, and fruit parts - which can be collected separately.

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

The quality of seeds and grains starts to deteriorate once they have been harvested. Thus, it’s essential to remove the impurities and dirt as soon as possible to ensure a high-quality product for end-users. In order to optimize seed quality, it’s advisable to pass them through an Air screen seed cleaning machine. However, a few machines can properly remove impurities, damaged particles, and dirt from seeds.


<h2>Separates impurities and ensures proper pre-cleaning of seeds</h2>
Manufactured by Seed Processing Holland, the <a href="https://making.com/equipment/seeds-blowing-machine-for-separation/">Air Screen Cleaning Machine cleans seeds</a> by separating dust, empty seeds, chaffs, and weeds.

Extracting sunflower oil using an organic solvent, usually hexane, has a big environmental impact. In fact, hexane emissions are a major cause of photochemical smog.


<h2>Extracting oil while keeping hexane content to a minimum level</h2>
Andreotti Impianti extraction plant is designed for oil solvent extraction starting from oil seeds flakes or pre-pressed cake. This environmental-friendly extraction system reduce the hexane content in the air emission, where the air is washed with mineral oil and the hexane is absorbed. Absorbed hexane is evaporated and recycled.

The extraction process involves four steps: solvent extraction, separation of the oil-solvent miscella, recovery of the solvent from the meal and adsorption of carbureted airs. In the pre-treatment step, the seed is prepared for oil removal (<a href="https://making.com/equipment/lab-scale-seeds-brushing-machine/">brushing</a>, cleaning, de-hulling, cracking, cooking, flaking, and pressing). Then, the seed is fed into the extractor and placed on a filtering belt where the solvent, hexane, washes the seed cake. The solvent extraction process gives two products - oil-solvent miscella and meal wetted solvent.

The oil-solvent miscella goes straight to the distillation section where the hexane is distilled under vacuum and removed with live steam. The meal with solvent leaves the extractor for the upper layer of the toaster where all the hexane is distilled through a combination of indirect stream and live stream while stirring the product inside the toaster. At the bottom of the machine, the meal can be dried or cooled according to market requirements.

In the medicine industry, it is important to ensure there are no defects in tablets or capsules. However, it’s a challenging task when combining high-speed production where thousands of tablets are produced every hour with high safety standards for highly toxic medicine. Sometimes highly toxic products, which operators cannot touch, are required to be delivered free from defects. Moreover, when the industry is producing various medicines including tablets, capsules, and soft gels, there is a need for a machine that can inspect and sort each category of product with great accuracy.
<h2>Inspecting and sorting in high-speed medicine production</h2>
The Sensum Spine Hypo is an inspection and sorting unit for highly toxic products with a fully automatic mode of operation in which defected products are detected and separated automatically. The Sensum Spine Hypo unit inspects the entire surface of a product (tablet, capsule, and softgels) at a speed of up to 360,000 products per hour. The products are transferred in the inspection system with a vacuum. A combination of six-colour cameras is used to thoroughly inspect the product. The active sorting system separates defective products with compressed air which fall under gravity to a compartment for defective products, while the perfect quality product moves forward for packing. Sensum Spine Hypo can be trained to identify the defects in new products by providing defect-free samples of the product. It will automatically recognize its colour, shape, thickness, etc. Once it is trained for the new product, which usually takes 10 minutes, the unit is ready for operation.

Sensum Spine Hypo performs 100 percent visual inspection, meaning, it scans all sides of the tablets, capsules or softgels to find any defects. The defects it can check for include the presence of a foreign product, colour deviation, shape, cracks, coating defects, thickness, chips, lamination defects, uneven surfaces, engraving defects, dirt, dots, damaged edges, and damaged prints.

The machine protects against contamination using inlet and outlet air filtering, the negative pressure in the process area, and using separation of the process with a barrier (gaskets, seals, silicone sealing). The inlet air filtering protects the clean room from air backflow, while outlet air filtering removes the dust from exhaust air. The separation barrier is another security against contamination supplemented by negative pressure in the process area. Moreover, Spine Hypo also enables use of contained feeding and discharging systems, such as safe connection to IBCs containers and continuous liners.

Sensum Spine Hypo has options for dry and wet cleaning in containment and has glove ports for safe access and interaction without breaking the containment. Dry cleaning with aspiration enables the removal of excessive surface powder accumulated during inspection and wet cleaning can be used to remove airborne powders from the process area of the unit.

Contained Visual Inspection System

The essential objectives of containment systems are personnel protection and preventing the release of toxic or infectious material into the environment. Containment is also used to prevent a product or sample from contamination by the external environment. In the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, containment solutions are used to protect the personnel from the leaking of airborne particles of hazardous substances, as powders or liquids are handled or transferred during processing.

Containment

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.

Centrifugation is the common technique used to separate solid particles dispersed in a liquid and efficiency depends on the rotational speed. The right centrifuge for this application could be a super centrifuge that works at higher velocities and that is capable to handle both the separation and clarification process of the plasma components.


<h2>Extracting very fine impurities</h2>
The RINA SRP C by Riera Nadeu are super centrifuges used to recover or remove suspended impurities from liquids. It has a vertical decanting tubular bowl centrifuge turning at very high speed (15.000G mini). Its high G factor generates the separation strength. The G factor, also known as RCF, relative centrifugal force, is the force exerted on the rotor contents. Solid settles and accumulates on the suspended rotor's cylindric ferrule while it clarifies the processed liquid extracted. If the rotor is full, the equipment is stopped to discharge the solid manually.

The RINA SRP C offers easy operation and requires low maintenance. A full opening casing works to lower the noise emissions, guarantee the centrifuge's safe operation, and easier extraction from the front side following GMP requirements. The casing also can regulate the temperature by installing heating and cooling coils.
